Help! I'm installing a weapon-r intake and I just don't know what to do next....
I've removed the stock airbox and now I'm looking at a bog empty hole with a dangling Denso electrical thing and I just don't know what to do next. Please help me.
Step 1. According the instructions, I must remove the fluid transfer hard line, connected to the PVC hose and Throttle body coolant line (????) .... no idea what they are... do they mean the set of hard pipes that are connected to the top of the engine (and that dangling Denso thinggy?)
Step 2. Then it says, "match OEM Air Recirculation Actuator hose to 8mm hose and clamp down"... OK, I know what hose they're talking about coz it came in the box with the intake, but the rest?
*if I remove the hard tubes then how does everything fit... I only have 3 rubber tubes?
... also, the last step is to attach the mounting bracket... attach to what? I'm so confused... I don't see how it can attach to anything:
I don't know what's going on with the pictures... sometimes they work, sometimes they don't... I've reposted on the "Under the hood" forum. They seem to work there
I used to have the weapon r intake, it's pretty easy to install. Here's an pld pic of it installed so you can see where the hoses go. I never removed the hard lines and just used the big gray hose you see in the pic.
What did you do with the dangling denso thinggy (circled in picture)? It's a little black box with electrical wires coming into it. Before I removed the stock airbox, it was attached to the side of it with a little screw. Now that the airbox is gone, it's just hanging there... I'm frightened that if I don't attach it to something it'll get eaten by the fans and stuff.
Also, how did you secure the intake itself? The little mounting bracket (6" peice of metal with a few holes in it) doesn't seem to fit anywhere.
The diagrams on the instructions show exactly where to mount the air control solenoid valve (from the intake box) to the air control vacum tank (black plastic tank bolted to the cross member frame underneath the intake box. As for mounting the intake. The bracket is supposed to mount somewhere on the filter itself and bolt to inside of the engine compartment. I bought my intake used and it didn't come with the mounting bracket so I fabricated one.

good luck.
what is that carbon fiber looking piece mounted to the front of your engine?
I have seen this on many other engines, but I have no idea what it is?!?
I'm still stuck... I feel like such a knob... I've just read xvipers instructions on vacuum routing and I'm more confused than ever.
Is it OK for the dangling Desno thing (called air control solenoid, I believe, which used to be connected via the bottom of the stock airbox) to be unattached to anything?
According to these comptech instructions that I have (whose pictures don't seem to match my04 bits), I must attach it to the cut out in the vacuum tank... Not matter how I try, there is absolutely no way its goin to fit in that cut-out...
Please help me... I'm strandled until I figure this out!
You can either zip tie it off somewhere or do like I did and go to your local auto parts store and buy a 8mm bolt (I think) and make a spacer with an old vacum hose so that you can bolt the air control solenoid valve to the vacum box.
Help!
