Biggest waste of time!

**Joey Danger** · 04-21-2010, 09:18 PM

Tried doing the short air intake build and it was a waste of time.

There's no way of getting that MAF off the intake box, there's no room for anything to fit.

now to top things off my rpms are no longer stable

completely have given up hope for the G

Saving up for a 3000gt, something worth putting money into

there are 4 bolts holding the MAF to the intake box. rpms may not be stable cuz u may have damaged the MAF when you got frustrated or you never plugged the MAF back in. if you dont know cars dont try to work on them and then get all pissed off. inspect everything before getting pissed at the car. everything that was made to come apart comes apart. it came off of both of my 7Gs

Go ahead and get that 3000gt. Just don't get mad when your cold air doesn't fit properly on that either.

i didnt know shit about my car but I bought a haynes repair manual to start learning, but i at least knew how to remove my air box and maf before buying the manual. but if you cant figure out how to remove the stock intake on a car (probably the damn easiest thing to do ever) you are fucked for the long run.

honestly alot of parts are easy to take off an put back on. Stare at it scratch your chin and say hmmm how does that stay on there. Do the opposite of how it stays on to take it off. Im no master mechanic, but when I look at something I am about to do I look for all possible bolts holding it in. So far it worked well on 3 cars one being my bmw.

I've fixed other things on my car for example i replaced the throttle body, fuel pump, gas oil pan seal, and window motor and regulator. I know how to taake it out i just couldnt get the two bolts out, the ones that have very little room to work with. Dont get me wrong i know how to install it, it was just those two bolts that were pissing me off

those 2 bolts are why wrenchs were invented.. put down the socket and grap a wrench

**03-Galant-ES** · 04-21-2010, 11:03 PM

Or get a socket with an extension. Use a shallow socket, apply pressure with one hand and use socket with other. It works wonders and most likely will not strip if you do it right with right size socket. Ive stripped with wrenches :( not fun

**Joey Danger** · 04-21-2010, 11:08 PM

Wrenches aren't my best friend, but i was thinking on getting the extention but i was to frustrated. Probably gonnaa try again tomorrow

**spencer0791** · 04-21-2010, 11:34 PM

**warren** · 04-22-2010, 12:07 AM

**Corey2kG** · 04-22-2010, 10:53 AM

lol im sorry i couldnt helpl but laugh(scratching my ear) you guys are trip. i was looking at a few pics of the 8gg with the cone air filter and it looks easy as hell i want to do it on my v6 but not sure. i heard that you can get more dirt faster and or oil n water through it and damage the maf sensor. is that true???
