TSP Posted December 6, 2008 Share Posted December 6, 2008 I've got a bit of a query regarding an air filter on my SR and I wondered if anyone could help me with it? On the top of the airbox there is a sensor plugged in and before I just leave it dangling I wondered if there is anything specefic I should do with it? Or should I drill a hole in the inlet tube and push it in there?I'm sorry if there is a post on here somewhere about it, I've searched and looked at peoples project builds but had no luck with an answer!Oh and it's an HKS mushroom filter and I'm using the standard rubber inlet tube.Thanks for your help Quote Link to post Share on other sites

garbla900 Posted December 6, 2008 Share Posted December 6, 2008 when i had the air filter on my n/a it was rough as fuk with the sensor hanging out but i put it throught the whole in the pipe work and it ran good after that. i think it might be an afm (air flow mass) meter. id stick it in there what harm can it possibly do?

ste91 Posted December 6, 2008 Share Posted December 6, 2008 I drilled a hole in my intake pipe and used the rubber bung out of the airbox so it sealed properly. Works fine.On another note, I'd recommend getting rid of the crap standard rubber pipe, there's loads of pipes and silicone pipe and reducers on ebay, and shouldn't cost too much.
