i have the cone filter with stock tube and the probe thingy was put at the bottom of the cone filter (metal part).....it works fine...does that help?

 

i also have a cone filter with the stock tube. i just let the probe thing just dangle there. it works fine (for now). no check engine light or anything.

 

Thats exactly what i did before I made my own custom intake, and before I got my ractive intake. The check engine light never came on, and I had it on there for a while.

I just got the ractive intake today in the mail. The second aluminum part seems rather short, i'm not sure i can fit the sleeve on to put the sensor on it behind the filter, any ideas?

 

Well you can do what I did.. There is a small square tube that connects to the front of the battery cover that goes to the front of the car to bring fresh air into the battery housing to keep it cool i'm guessing.. Pull the tube down a little, put the Probe thingy (Intake Temperature Sensor) in there and reconnect it.. I'll post a pic tomorrow.

 

I was checking out a pic of bruces intake and there are two hoses coming out. I had two also, one went into the valve cover but the one on bruces doesn't do that. What did he do to plug that hole on the valve cover and why didn'the run the hose into it?

 

well i have almost the entire thing hooked up. I don't care about that pointy sensor thing, it doesn't seem to matter, the MAS however is a big problem. it doesn't fit on the ractive tube and the car will not start unless it is in the air flow area. what did you guys do to make it fit?

 

Ractive sends a rubber adapter that you are supposed to use, but I did not bother to use it , I just took the silicone adapter and tightened it down on the MAS and then on the intake pipe and that is it

the one from the valve cover goes into the intake tube , the hose on the side of the intake tube goes into a hose on the bottom of the intake tube that runs to the throttle body and is split in two , I just cloged up the 2nd part of the split and then put the other end to the intake tube

Here is a pic of what I was talking about with the MAS sensor

here is a good close up of the intake you can get a idea of where the hoses are going ...

 

Bruce, I have my two tubes plugged into the ractive intake just fine but i can't find the hose you said ineed to plug, where is that at cause i didn't have any loose hoses when i pulled the old intake and installed this one.

 

Hey Bruce, my cone filter sits right where yours is and I am only using the stock intake tube, that's why i don't like those types of intakes.. Any Idea where I can find one that's a true CAI, and not a Short Ram?????

If not, i'll just make a custom one of my own...

 

weeewww this server is slow tonight... well the other hose is directly under my intake pipe , but you can't see it in that pic

Just an idea given to me by a sunfire guy take the intake air temp. sensor (the prope thingy) and lenthen the wires and drill a hole in the drivers side inner fender wall ,put a grommet in there and put the sensor in that. The sensor will "see" colder -more dense air and you will get a better fuel curve when using a open filter (more air) . I can't use the trick on my 1.8 but it works for them and the1.5 sensor is the same style.
