ok i bought an intake, i have a question though, there are two male ends sticking out of the pipe and 2 hoses where included, where do i hook the hoses to, and there is no place for the sensor, and where do the brackets go that support it hook up to? thanks in advance for any help
you have to duct tape the sensor in one hole. The other hole connect the hose to this little pipe thing comming off the top of your head. You should notice this thing because when you take off your stock airbox it will be connected to it as well.
I dont have a 2.2 so dont ask me what to connect the bracket to. But just look around and look for an open but to unscrew and bolt to the braket.

dont duct tape the sensor,
the sensor should be installed in the pipe. this may require you to cut off one male end comming out the pipe, or drill one out...
go to the store, get a grommet to put in the pipe, and insert the iat sensor into the main pipe.
the second nipple is for the valve cover breather.
directions are at the bottom of this page

I type too fast....
Once you have the intake in place with everything connected it shouldnt be hard to figure out where you need to attach the braket to. iF you cant figure it then it doesnt really matter the movement of my motor broke off my braket to the intake with it still connected to where i had it bolted to. The intake was just laying solo under my hood. I left it like that and its been fine ever since. So i dont think its a big deal to have it bolted to something.

eehhh yea you shouldnt really duct tape it in place but thats how i have always seen them being installed. It will all do the same thing in the end anyway. It will just look like crap.

only problem is those nipples comming off the pipe arent large enough to fit an IAT sensor.
so you have to actually cut one off...
the extra hose is to stuff the iat sensor in, but in a tube nearly a foot away from the pipe its not really reading the air temp. so it can actually read hotter and put your car more or less in a limp mode.
ok thanks guys, but now another dilema, i just roughed the intake in and the pipe hit the nipple on the manifold, and the rubber cap only will fit over either the tb or the pipe, the one end is to small for either, and im thinking maybe they send me the wrong one? but it looks just like pictured, just that it dont fit,
im thinking just cut a piece off of tube and use it to connect filter to stock hose, but i got a ram air hood installed and it has been rubbing on the hose, so im confused as of right now, any ideas u guys might have?
well my buddy had a 2.2 and he was able to get his IAT in one of those holes. and the other hole and duct taped over and put a mini filter over the tube on top of his motor. His actually all worked fine too, go figure. He was really ghetto.....
You would know though you have a 2.2. Im trying to give directions from a visual of his engine bay i saw over 2 years ago.

might have to stretch it... if its rubber it should stretch and use the wider end on the TB.
plug one hose into the valve cover nipple, one into the pipe nipple.
drill out the other nipple and install the iat with a grommet, you should be set.
Im so 2.2 illiterate. Do you have the model where the tb faces up, or faces toward the front of the car?

hes got a 97, so its the one that looks like its the opening for a castle. the older 2.2ohv not the 2200
he has a 97, so the tb faces the front

second pic u can see the sensor is bigger than the male end of pipe, i would have to drill out a new hole and cover one of them or drill one out and use gromet or silicone

now right now i think i have 2 options, i could drill out a hole to clear over the male end on engine and perhaps put silicone around it or a gromet, would be a direct conection, and drill one out for the sensor and use gromet or silicone. andhope it all clears and works alright because my stock air hose is rubbing right now on hood
or oprtion #2 would be cutting a piece of the pipe a couple inches long and connect cone filter to stock hose and everything would just plug and play like stock.
i think i should try #1 first and if it dont work i could just cut the lil piece off i need and use that, i couldl send it back but i dont really want the hassel or have to wait, what do yall think i should do?
i also would have to rig up something to connect to the tb, or like someone said to just try and stretch it
if you have a ram air hood, unlesss you are doing this for show, you should mod the stock air box to work with the ram air hood. alot easier off hand.
if you plan to keep the intake, once you clamp the hose to the TB and the pipe to the hose, the intake really will move very minimally. so you can connect one hose to the male end of the valve cover, and one to the pipe.
the sensor... drill out one nipple, large enough, use a grommet (silicone can break of flex off and go into the engine) and install it in the hole drilled. check the diagram at the bottomof the page of the link that i posted above.
ok just to clearify what i was saying is that the nipple on the engine is hitting the pipe, as in the pipe is resting on the nipple, and my hood wont clear it that way, so i have drill out a spot where it would set over that nipple and by doing this it would be bypassing that hose also, but i dont know if a grommet will work on this much of an angle. and i do plan on leaving air box, just moddifying it to clear filter.hope this makes sense, and thanks for all the help so far
