problem installing intake on 89 nissan sentra?

Question

I purchased a universal intake from advanced auto parts and I'm not sure if I'm going about the right way of intalling it... I took my air filter cover off and thought that you remove the whole thing - cover, filter, and all....but there are 3 or 4 different hoses attached to the bottom of the air filter box and that prevents me from removing it... am I doing this wrong or does anyone know what I can do? Picture of engine - this isn't my actual car but the red box is what I'm removing and its what has the hoses attached to the bottom http://memimage.cardomain.net/member_images/2/web/2186000-2186999/2186685_8_full.jpg

Answer 1

The 3-4 hoses that connected to your air filter box are probably emissions related. Installing a "universal" intake will probably mean modifying the new intake to accept the hoses. It is much easier to install an intake that was specifically designed for your model of car. That way its just a plug and play install.

Answer 2

You propose a CAI? ok having an air intake on my own will do jack all you opt for to position in a Pod and CAI setup in a unmarried or you'll only be sucking warm air. set up your Pod the position your latest air container is, then run a three - 4" flex pipe out of your the front bar on your engine and performance the outlet blowing quickly into your Pod. the rationalization im telling you to position in a Pod as well is that only setting up a CAI will do absaloutly no longer some thing on your vehicles performance. you opt for to integrate the CAI with a Pod.

Answer 3

your car is carbed not fuel injected you need a adapter from top of carb to air tube and then to the filter
this is the kind of intake you need yours is a sr20d not sr20de

Answer 4

get your money back a intake is not going to do anything for that car...
