[FullStop]

dread, is a zm u have right?, i find my zm doesnt want to rev past 5500rpm until last gear(automatic), allyuh think a CAI will help that? somebody gimme a contact no. for somebody who does do good CAIS na, i from chaguanas, i barely know south, i no d whaarf, i know sheriffs and i know how to reach debe and penal,,,oh yeah and i know gulf city mall and last week i find hermitage...

[Strugglerzinc]

wha hill you livin on in chaguanas bro ?

the CAI is relatively easy to make. depends on how diy you are. you'll need to buy pipe couplers hose clips and some slight welding to make the bolting points. what you will need some pro help for is the MAF adaptor. there is one available online but its 3" diameter which i think is too big.

[Strugglerzinc]

The inserts were wet sanded with 400 paper to get the silver off. Real pain for the corners.



Painted with textured plastic paint so no primer required - semi gloss black
Only thought about gloves after i got the paint on my hands



Coated and re coated then reassembled after drying.

Here's the finished product after re-baking to seal glue



Will take some "after" pics when back on the car.

You could also check. Garvin's performance shop on Long Circular Road. Three buildings after courts.He is real helpful. You could also check Tuner Imports in the Classified forum. The last time I was by his place on Caroni Savanna Road I think I saw silicon hoses etc.

Brian Khan is TOO EXPENSIVE.

[villain]

Brian Khan is TOO EXPENSIVE.

haha you done know....

[TurboDrive]

Yep. If you know someone that does aluminum welding they could fabricate a piece to mount the maf sensor on.

[FullStop]

yup thanks for d info turbodrive

[TurboDrive]

Glad to be of service .

[Strugglerzinc]

Been to the bamboo. Dem fellas bullsheitin around. Fella at bicks say dem get cuss fuh sellin one off ah engine recently. ghostbusters, dais you ent will check bak again. didnt really have too much $$ on me anyway.

As for the oil filter.... the Purolator sold locally is L14459 which has a pressure relief (bypass valve) of 12-15 PSI
The oversize filter is the L20073. It has the same PSI relief, threading and gasket diameter.

The filter listed for the BJ on the Purolator website is the L14612 which has a slightly higher PSI relief of 14-18 PSI.
The oversize filter with this equivalent bypass etc is L14610

Moving on to the K&N website, the filter listed for the BJ is the HP-1008 which has the higher PSI bypass and is the equivalent replacement for the L14612 (BJ filter on Purolator site) The oversize is HP-1010

Now if two big names like this list a specific filter then i am inclined to believe we get the wrong filter in T&T.

When asked, the parts places said they never get the Purolator # i asked for.

Not too sure how much of a difference it will make in the long run but i will buy the CORRECT PSI oversize filter from Amazon at next oil change.

Maybe i'm just wierd but i HATE to knowingly buy the wrong thing when i know the correct one is available.
