ok well i finally have money to spend on my CAI but i was wondering...i live in Ohio so it gets cold and i was wondering if having a CAI in winter would like kill my motor or something with all the cold air? my friend used to have a VW Fox that had a CAI on it and when it was cold the car would randomly shut off during winter... so just wondering if i should just wait till like spring to put one on

 

thoughs foxs are 20 or 30 years old

...

older car
****tier motor

 

ive never had a problem with an intake in the winter......colder air outide means colder air intake

 

ok cool... with snow and all that jazz... how would that affect it? and also i know i asked this before but really didn't get a straight answer...should i get a bypass valve? and also how do you hook up the PCV hose to the new intake?

 

Yeah, the colder the better, my car runs somewhat better in winter due to the denser air

 

Well there are a couple ways. You have make a hole in the intake and put in a connector to attach the hose. Otherwise you can do like i did, and I just put a small little intake on it. I'll post a pic in a minute

 

I really like having that little intake. And when ever I lift my hood and my friends are around, they always ask... What is that little intake for? LOL

 

most cold air intakes for neons come with the nipple for the pcv valve hose...but some dont so the little filter is the best way to go...
i did it to mine also.....it looks a little neater on a dohc though.....

the bypass valve isnt gonna do you much good at all....if you put it on then its kinda defeating the purpose of a CAI, cepending on where you put it.....

snow wont bother it much either, just as much as rain would anyways.....if i can drive my car in heavy rain and not have a problem then you should be able to drive it in snow....

yay i think my parents went for my proposer for my CAI yay...which means i wont have to pay for everything...just the air filter (which is all the money i have lol i need a job)... are there any like step by step instructions on how to make one? or is it kinda keep on fabing till u get it?

 

The PCV valve doesn't hook up the air intake. The thing that connects to the air filter tube is a breather valve, not the PCV valve.

Are you doing the 3.0L intake.
