Just installed an intake
I know ... it's just a regular intake, but ... I finally installed one!
And here is the air intake sensor that I used the orrigional rubber grommet it came in and just cut it out and made it fit the new intake:
(Yes, that is a new Daewoo badge on the plastic valve cover! LOL)

nice work man... congrats.
BTW: you need to refill your brakes and power steering fluid... also chek your front brakes pads, usualy a drop in the brakes fluid is assoiceated with pads wear.

BINGO! LOLBosnianLanos wrote:What car was the intake originally for? Or did you actually find one for the Lanos. It looks a lot like my modified Civic intake.
It was a regular Civic intake from Auto Zone for $39.
I chopped the end off and made a new hole on the bottom to add the air intake sensor.
After driving it, I found out how hot that intake gets by touching it. I need to wrap it with insulation to keep the air cold as it goes into the manifold.

Every time you get home, pop your hood and feel your intake. Cuz sometimes after work (i do delivery so i drive at least 3 hours straight) its too hot to touch but then other times its as cold as it can be. Even though my cars running the same time and just as hard.TheGreatAndPowerfulOz wrote:BINGO! LOLBosnianLanos wrote:What car was the intake originally for? Or did you actually find one for the Lanos.

Since I have a parts car, I chopped up the orrigional rubber intake pipe with a box knife. I cut out too big around the place where the AIS fits, then cut it out into a clean circle with my bandsaw. I also used the band saw to make a notch all the way round the circumference of the newly cut out rubber circle.KnightWalace wrote:how did you cut the original AIT bung out? I'm just curious as my gas mileage is assnign now.
thanks oz.
This notch is used to snap into the hole in the aluminum pipe. After the new grommet is in the aluminum pipe, the AIS is stuffed in. It is dificult to squeeze the AIS back into the rubber because it is a very tight fit.
Like an idiot, I was using an ice pick to try to pry the edges of the rubber so the AIS would fit and it slipped ... I stabbed my hand with the ice pick! OUCH!
***Disclaimer: If you use a bandsaw, ANY power saw, or ANYTHING sharp for making this, be VERY careful.***
I am careful, but it still slipped and saw some blood.

After driving to work today and the main rubber boot at the throttle body warmed up, the weight of the intake & filter weighed the whole thing down and the edge of the filter was buzzing and rattling against the body of the car.
This afternoon after work, I made an aluminum support bracket and bolted it down to the threaded stud that was orrigionally for the stock air filter box.
I'll post a pic in a couple days as I won't be able to upload any pics for a couple days while away from my computer.
