Yes another stupid air intake question

bluesheepbrian · Post by **bluesheepbrian** » Sat Aug 14, 2004 10:06 pm

Was searching through the forum search, could not find the info I was looking for.

Was wondering if I was to get an CAI or a short ram intake for the Lanos,
if I go with the civic, would I have to get it the same year as my 2002 Lanos.

If going custom on makin it what parts would I need?
Any info would help.

And when I do make the intake, I will make a how-to with pics on it.

o.k. I did get that one, thought there would be more info.

So what is a AIT grommet, besides being a grommet?
And what is the silicone reducer for?
Any specific kind of air filter?

Sorry for all the questions?

Thanx, you guys are great.

The grommet is the proper sized grommet to install your AIT sensor into your new CAI.
The silicone reducer is the little 'rubber' thing that connects the CAI to the throttle body.
Any cone filter will do.

I got a question... my AIT sensor is disconnected cause I used a different intake from a different car. At first I thought that my check engine light would come on, but it never did. Is there any disadvantages of having it disconnected?

Thanks a lot.

Probably poor gas mileage.
Possibly, over time, a fouled oxygen sendor and/or a clogged catalytic convertor, which may make the check engine light come on.

But, what do I know? LOL

Well, I'll be putting the chocolate chip in, so therefore I will not need to connect the sensor in anyways.

Do any of you know how much hourse power it adds approximately?

I have a chocolate chip, used once, and it is now back in it'd orrigional packaging.

The increase is noticable, but I'm not sure how much more HP you will actually see. I do know you will see a drastic drop in gas mileage when you are using it.

Get ready to start filling the tank more often.

I plan to make a dash mounted 2 way switch with my chocolate chip.
With the switch OFF, the stock AITS is connected normally.
With the switch ON, it will be running through the chocolate chip for more power when I want to use it.
To let me know it is on (more so I don't forget it is on), I will mount an LED somewhere (probably in the guage cluster) that will come on when the chocolate chip is in use.
That way, I can have the power of the chip when I want, and the good gas milage of stock for the rest of the time.

your engine light doesnt go on????
that aint right tbh normaly if its unplugged it should go on very soon, i know cause i tend to forget sensor when i change timingbelt

You sure your enginecheck light still works?

Ow also you engine should now be running on its emergency program... so it will use ALOT more gas

When I purchased the Civic Short Ram Intake, I cut sbout 6 inches of of it, sanded the chrome off, and painted it black with 1500 F Temp paint. It look awesome, but it has been in storage since install for one reason. The Daewoo sensor is too big for the Civic Sensor Port.

Does anyone know what diameter the holes needs to be to get that sensor to fit?

For that switch on the chocolate chip try using a fog lamp switch from a store like schuck's. They light up when on. I am using one of those to control my lighting kit and other lighted stuff. If you get a switch system made I will buy one from you for parts+labor. Hope this helps.

Well, if I plug in the chocolate chip... the computer will think that the sensor is plugged in, correct? So, that's my solution.

And yes, since I removed my sensor, my check engine light never came on....
