going to install an AEM CAI tonight, any tips? this search function has been down for a stupid long amount of time. (thought with all the people paying $$$ that this kind of stuff gets resolved )

in any case, if there's anything you guys did to prevent mixing up lines or whatever, that info would be helpful. also how can i check codes for CELs.. is it the same method used for B-series ECUs? maybe if i post enough searchable topics, someone will fix the stupid search function.

 

The only problem I ran into was that the '02 has a different mount for the sensor that mounts onto the air box. I had to tie wrap the sensor to the pipe, since the AEM didn't have threading in the bracket. The only advice I can give you is to label each vaccuum line when you disconnect them. It took a few minutes to guess which one went where on mine.

You may even want to cut the bracket off of the upper pipe, and add an insulation sleeve over the whole thing. I just bundled all the hoses and sensor together with a tie wrap in front of the engine.

 

Ergh ah....Gernby....might want to rethink Physics 101 (i.e. convection, conduction, thermal transfer, etc.). No offense but if you hook up a laptop and an OBD-II logger I'll gaurantee your intake temp is greater then "no sleeve" (hint aluminum is one of natures best conductors).....hope that sleeve doesn't touch the AEM Intake or conducation will occur!

It is an insulation sleeve specifically made for intakes. It has a fibrous inner lining with the shiny surface on the outside to reflect radiant heat.

Even if it was aluminum, it would still help. Unless a conductor is perfect (imaginary), it will still have some insulating traits. I remember taking Chemistry 101, and studying how one layer of aluminum foil greatly reduced heat transfers to / from an object.
