Caliber R/T intake?
ok well i ordered an intake from a local performance shop and decided to install it myself everything is in correctly all i need is just to put in the intake sensor and that other thicker tube. how do i go about getting the sensor to fit nice and tight into that hole that is in the intake? please get back to me on this and give me a few pointers or if u have website links that will help i would really appreciate that as well
It sounds as if you bought a non specific CAI so the opening is too big/small,
I would think the performance shop you purchased from would be a good
source for fix.
Failing that if the hole for the sensor is too big you could buy some "O"
rings to place on the sensor to build up the outside diameter or wrap it
in rubber based tape such as "Magic Wrap".If it too small well get the drill
and round files out.
I assume the "thicker hose" you refer to is the oil ventilation recirculation
from the PCV valve,again this should have been provided on the CAI,if it was not
then some ingenuity on your behalf is called for plus the drill and round file.
Get another piece of hose the OUTSIDE diameter of which is the same as the
INSIDE diameter of the "thick hose" and epoxy to the CAI in the hole you drill.
Good luck-sometimes it pays to research these things before you make leap.
