quick write-up. uh, yeah. i got it on. took a few jostling the A/C thingy (i moved it down - left of the distributor) and the brake valves(?) - picture below - then it slid right into place. oh yes, a smaller, 10.8lbs hawker battery also helps this, unless you want to relocate your heavy 30lbs gut somewhere else. (pictures of the final, complete project to come)

here are some pictures...

BEFORE... :\


AFTER...

 

wierd.

 

thanks for the bump

what does everyone think, eh?

 

thats just an odd looking intake. but then again if it works then all the power to u. thats if it works... but it should

 

Bump nice on the install. But yeah I would have to say thats an interesting looking intake.

 

Dude! There's a tadpole connected to your filter

 

nice. just gotta clean the engine bay up a little bit and you'll be set!

 

Where did you get the intake from??

 

I have a sudden urge to yell ***** as loud as I can.

i agree. but water is ICE COLDD in the wintertime so i'm leaving her dirty for just a little bit.

i forget exactly where i got it.. off the internet. it was like $60 shipped or something.. the receipt's in my car, but i just woke up so i'll go out there later and get it.

i've got a vid coming too of me on the pa turnpike.. but that'll get to me as soon as Raunch gets his *** up and sends it to me! damn it!

happy 2004 ya'll.

 

holy rust

 

your before is a lil empty, runnin open throttle body?

 

looks good

 

that does look strange but im all about go not show so if it works then rock on...

 

looks like theres clearance issues w/ the hood

 

yea, there just might be.

filter sitting a lil far back as well.

 

Your engine bay has seen better days, you should get some simple green. The intake looks cool

 

Looks way ugly...sorry. Was the stock piece that bad. I like how my stock intake looks...

I toyed with the idea of putting a stock EG or DC2 intake set up in my DA, but the A/C hoses are a real pain in the *** to work around. The DC2 box almost bolts up, though...

 

The AEM intake will make more power.

And it looks like it was painted by smurfs

but your happy and no one can see it unless you open the hood so midway

 

anyone even know if it performs anything like the real J's racing intake? Cause that would suck if it didn't.

 

i think its cool...rock on dude!

 

Nice job!!!

How do you connect those other small vacume lines? Are you using the conector from the stock intake and holding it w/ epoxy or something? Or did you actually thread something else in there and coneect the lines to that?

they're just chillin' for right now. i have not touched them YET. i plan on getting a T fitting because there are two lines (from the valve cover and from the throttle body) and only one hole in the BLUE WHALE.

 

not realy fealing the big blue. id rather go with injen cold air
