After my I found out my MAF is messed up I decided to build CAI with a new MAF. Ill post progress and I'll make sort of HOW TO with pictures. Whole project wouldn't happen without MKO :) I ordered parts on Ebay and bought new MAF from MKO. I hope to get all my parts this week and then next week which is my Spring Break I will put it on my G.
I got my first part today ;) MAF Adapter

My new MAF just came , Thanks MKO!
basically i was telling u that so u dont get all corn hole happy about power gains.....
worthless mod. Totally worthless!!!
I didn't say anything about power gains or anything , I had messed up MAF for a while and my car ran like shit so getting new MAF and putting CAI makes difference anyway , also i saw people asking questions about intakes for 7G before so I thought it might be useful for some people.Quote:

It doesnt matter what section he's in.. Sadly he is correct.. There is really no point to it... Now if you were to put a turbo on and then run a cai from there that would be alot beter!!! It doesnt matter what Gen G you have alot of people on here have a great general knowlege of performance mods... along with different gen G's....
dont discourage the guy. if he wants to do it, let him do it. Itll be a lot cheaper than 250-300 dollar injens that the 8g-ers buy. Maybe not nearly as much power as turbo but its a step forward
Turbo would be great , but thats huge project and a lot of money involved. This galant is my daily car and I dont have place for project like that neither the money. CAI is a project that I wanna do and I saw people asking on how to do custom SRI o CAI on 7G so I decided to share my progress in here.
shits so easy to do, i gotta youtube tutorial on it
x2 its his GQuote:

I wasnt trying to down the guy for working on his car and doing mods. Honestly though your next mod should be the 1g 60mm throttle body. It WILL go nicely with that cold air intake. Good luck man. If you cut the pipes just make sure you clean the shit out of them before you install them on the car or all of those shavings will wind back up in the motor. Even if you dont cut them then still clean the inside of them. When i got my fmic and piping kit there were some shavings inside of the piping for both my kit and the kit i got for my gf's 2g.
yeah I will cut the pipes and I will clean them , I already made sure MAF , and reducers are clean , its all good , sometimes critique is needed and like Shadow19 said I was thinking about TB already....
Why is this considered a build? Pointless thread is pointless.
I dont get people like that , how many times can I repeat my self... didn't you see the argument couple posts above?? Another 8G owner that looks for problem in the wrong place.Quote:

Anyways, have fun "building" your Galant, CAIs are worth like 30 whp right?
Thank you , I will :005:Quote:

Benefits of a CAI aren't that significant unless you have a really built motor which still gains aren't that significant. Power gains are only on the upper RPM range when your motor is sucking in huge amounts of air.
Either or..its still a performance modification, you will still gain some power as its much less restrictive than the OEM air intake system.
Here are a couple pics of my old CAI on my old 95 Galant.

yo i stole my CAI design from dat, oh thx for the headers, still look better on ur ride lol, i bought them from PREDAT-R i thing via u
Via me ;]
oh ok, i forgot dude
So I attempted it today but I did ran into trouble , for now I have short ram intake I'm trying to figure out how to fit CAI in there. First some pics with progress.
The whole plan was:
TB -> 2.5" to 3" reducer -> 3" Pipe -> 3" Coupler-> MAF -> MAF ADAPTER -> Another 3"Pipe -> Cone Air Filter
http://img41.imageshack.us/img41/759...0330154207.jpg
There is reducer on TB and pipe with place for vacuum hose. it seemed already to long so I did cut it later on.

There is pipe with MAF and MAF adapter hooked up , its before I cut down the piping.

-----------------
So I shortened the pipe and hooked it up with cone air filter. I ran the car to try out and it drives smoothly without any check engine or choking. I will post problem with fitting another pipe and how I wanna fit rest of the piping but I'm not sure if its gonna be CAI or just Hot Air intake but just extended Ill post the rest later on tonight.
I think the OE intake will be better IMHO iam puttin the stock intake back on mine. I mabey keep the upper elbow piping though, im doin this also to reduce tha loudness of my muffler:), thinking i might put a resonators back on the exhaust too but if i do that i might jas well take that can off the back
Any how dont do short ram, just rout piping under the car for a true cai to get the most out of it
Thats what I ended up with today , I dont have a garage and it was getting late so I had to wrap up... Its short ram intake for now but I definitely want CAI

Now what do I have to do in order to fit one more pipe in there to make CAI out of it.....Do I have to remove whole battery tray?? or move it to the side?? but is there battery gonna sit there stable?? Also I do have a huge space to the left from a battery but that would have to be custom shape pipe or flexible pipe to put it around battery. Also I dont know how much colder air is in that spot.

you can move the battery over more
The original position of the battery tray is closer to the fender, mine sits right against the side there already. And my battery tray was a pain in the ass to get out, I wonder how whoever moved yours managed to get it secure in that location.
Once you move it over, there will be all kinds of space to put your CIA pipe in.
u see the hole in the middle, on the left side of the battery tray, well move the tray all the way over and use dat one screw hole, it will hold fine, no prob wit mine in a yr. then use pics to do the CAI part. our u can just go to my youtube tutorial.

I will check now and try to take out the battery tray and move it all the way right next to the fender. I'm pretty sure there would be lots of space for CAI if Ill do that.
I got it , its just that one bolt on the left and you can slide the whole tray. Thanks for all advices and support , thanks for MKO and I think no one should any questions again about CAI after looking through this thread.
cool
