Long story short when I first bought the car I bought an injen cold air intake from ttr. I realized i had this extra tube that would not connect to the intake. ttr was nice enough to let me return it and swap for the typhoon which overall has three ports for everything which was sai supportive. Now i'm looking for a header that is sai compatiable and after looking behind my block it seems that i dont need an sai header. I dont see anything pertruding where it would fit in nicely with a sai header. Iam so confused right now any help would be great

 

pics? I just did a re-read on this and am at a loss Do you have the flow meter thing on the back side of your engine? It has a pig tail coming to it and it bolts onto your valve cover on the back side. if you don't have that, I have absolutely no clue why you had the SAI intake tube.

 

alright thanks for the help man ill take pics tomo and put them up it likes a regular exhasut manifold. But on the intake i have what looks like a sensor going in the side along with another tube then theirs a big tube on the underside that connects to the intake. Ugh pics up in am for help :O) thanks css.net

 

just take out the sai, you'll get cel but it won't do anything, get it tuned out eventually

 

i would but the fact that i already bought teh intake ill just finish out the header. I'm just trying to figure out if i need an sai header or regular ill take a few pics tomo so hang in tight people :O)

 

okay finnaly got it up it was hard getting camera in but i think its a decent angle so do i need a sai header is that what the top tube thing is goin into?

 

yup you have it

check the pic on 1st post

thanx for the quick response to the pic and yeah i would tune it out if i dindt have a intake and would pick up a cold air intake but at this point ill just get the sai header to match. So i think theirs only one header with sai by ppe engineering because Cobalt-addicition is no longer working site or sumthin?

 

You can always just remove it and remove it via a tune? Then use any header kit, like vibrants long tube.

 

^I agree. I will be removing it/ having it tuned out and using ZZPs LTH for the auto

 

Yeah just cause it will throw a code doesn't affect your engine. The SAI is such a stupid thing anyway.

 

so can i keep the intake with the sai thing hanging? also i think ottp long tube header is pretty sexy :O) iam sure i can still be happy with an sai compatible header lol

 

yeppers! Sorry i haven't been on, but i just zip tied it to something, and proceeded to get pissed with it and yanked all the air lines out
but just for reference, the little corrugated metal tube that makes a 90* bend into the top of your exhaust manifold is all the SAI is. such a stupid system anyway. Be sure to pull your relay (It's named air pump or something, it's on the fuse map) if you get rid of all of your SAI stuff, I always had people ask me if i had an ebay electronic blower on my car when I'd start it...

 

wait do you need to remoce the relay? i was just going to unplug it n get it tuned out

 

lol well thanks for the info but i made the thread to see if i needed a header sai comatible and I do :O) wish me luck finding one lol

 

I pulled the relay so the air pump doesn't run at all, I got lazy and didn't remove/unplug the pump. your prerogative on what you want to do

 

im going to remove the whole system. after the airbox wheres it go? below my intake mani? then up to the top of header?

 

I honestly never really gave it the time to look for it, but I'm guessing the pump is on the front of the block? I couldn't tell you on that one.

 

what is the fuse called? im gonna go remove it now

 

Should be called AIR PUMP on the fuse box under the hood. You're looking for a relay, so it's a big cube instead of a little fuse.

 

okay so its the biggest relay in the fuse box?
