Put the vacuum and sensor in a shoe tied to the battery box.


Neutiquam erro.

The IAT sensor needs to be somewhere near the T/B if you're going to ditch the intake tube completely. It doesn't need to be inside it, just near the opening. It only needs to sense the incoming air temp.

You can use one of those breather filters on the end of the hose, or take the hose off completely and put the filter on where the hose connected.

id say quit being cheap save yourself a lot of money for a new motor and go buy a 10 dollar filter for a local auto parts store. i wouldnt trust a sock or pantyhose to cover an intake the only place the sock and patnyhose belong is on the floor along with all the other clothing from your girl lol

The ONLY time I've heard of doing something like that was when I was in Iraq for Iraqi Freedom, and we would put pantihose over the snorkle on our humvee's... we did that because if we diden't so much sand got in there that we were litterally changing air filters once a week

True... you are better to get an intake or build your own one. Sucking air right at the tb won't give you any performance. Plus, show me a "sock" intake that doesn't look stupid...

i'm just wondering what suport you actually broke?
if you can't aford to buy an intake, then swiss cheeze the BOTTOM of your airbox and take out the tank in front of your wheel... it helps a bit....



wait for it... wait for it... NOW GO!! ---> '02 LS Sport <---

I ran mine open for about 4 months, the damn filter broke and I refused to buy another one, so I threw it out and ran the car without one, and no, nothing covering the hole either! I think filters are overrated! Of course the motor is sitting in my garage now and I have a new one in the car, but it doesn't have anything to do with that! It was still running strong when I switched!
