Installing Ebay CAI

Hi All

Doing this as some other member was stuck so reinstalled my CAI today.

Step 1

Remove battery cover.

Step 2

Remove fuse box ? think thats what you call it.

Step 3

Remove fuse box holder

Step 4

Remove - terminal 1ST from battery

Step 5

Remove + terminal 2nd

Step 6

Remove Bracket holding in the battery (13mm) socket size and remove battery when done

Step 7

Remove the bolt holding the airbox and battery box together (10mm) socket

Step 8

Remove the connector from the air flow sencer at the left side of your air box

Step 9

Remove the clip holding the pipe onto the left side of the air flow meter

Step 10

Remove the bolt at the back of the air box holding it to the car body (10mm) socket

Sorry pic a bit poo :-)

Step 11

Remove the brether pipe for the bottom left the your air box

Right at this point you could remove the air box but i move to the batter box as it make it a bit esayer to remove so will do that here

Step 12

Remove the 4x bolts for your battery box (10mm) socket

You should now be ok to remove the air box and the battery box if i have not forgoten any bolts

Step 13

Now you can remove the air in pipe from the side of the body (10mm) socket

Step 14

Remove the airflow meter from your air box just 2x phillips screws and pulls out

Put this back onto the pipe is come of in step 9 but dont put the clip back over it yet.

Step 15

Remove your headlight bulb cover and the bracket holding on the connector in the next pic if needed (i say if needed as some other or better CAI may get past them with out the need to remove

Step 16

Put together your CAI now (i found it easyer to put in on in one) So should look like this

As you can see i have out the rubber part onto the CAI and left the nut of the top ready to put onto the body

Step 17

Now for the fun part

Some take the bumpers off /lights out / and other suff but i have found you dont need to but its up to you

As you can see from the next pic i can get the bottom of the CAI with the air filter fitted down the hole at the side of the car as i removed the light cover and the connecot bracket back in step 15,

This gives me that extra room the move.

Now you just need to move it into position so you can get the bolt end on the rubber at the botton of the CAI onto the bodywork and half way up the CAI pipe you will see the side bracket the bolts the the side of the car where you removed the air in pipe in step 13.

when you have done so do up the nuts on the bottom and side and connect the top pf your CAI the the right hand side of your airflow meter and then do up all remaining clips.

Then connect the air brether pipe to the fitting coming of the center ish of your CAI

Then put your batter box back in and the batter.

Have a last look about to see if you got it all and nothing is still undun.

Should look like this

Right think i got most of it

Sorry for any spelling and grammer blablablablabla not my best points lol

Any how this is just a small helper for any that get stuck but remeber there are lots of CAI out there and not all the same.

Have Fun and Drive safe.
