Where'd you put the MAF sensor? Taking off the fender looks like a pain lol I did my headlights a few days ago and that was tough. Love doing work like this though, getting to know how the car works more and stuff. Like the blue1

Looks like a Greddy RZ BOV. Ive got the same one. I like it as its adjustable on the fly. I just need to recirc the blowoff back into the intake.

Looks good man.

Why does everybody disassemble the whole front end just to put a intake on their cars. Just jack up the car, take off the passenger side wheel, couple screws here and there, move the plastic fender piece out of the way.

NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!

i took my bumper off twice! once for FMIC, because i HAD too... but injen CAI instructions said i had to do it....... i later realized ALL you have to do is take the passenger side headlight bracket out.... THATS IT!!!

keep your wheels and bumper on!!

when i took the injen cai out, and put the turbo xs on, all i did was take the headlight bracket out... i made a thread in the how to sections of the forums.



ohh BTW OP
nice ride. looks dope

What pipes did you use? I really like how you dont have 3 feet of rubber elbows on each corner and I like that blue (custom powdercoat?).

The thing with the recir is that you won't even hear it once it's recirculated, isn't that why you got the bov to hear it? Lol

And it's a a greedy RS, how do you like your RZ though?

It's Clear Image Automotive. They did beautiful work for me! And everything fit perfect. E color was picked by Clear Image also, I just told them to do the color of their logo! Turned out beautiful, not I wanna c what color I can match with it.

LOL I didnt get the BOV for the sound, I got it cause I needed it for my turbo swap. I like the RZ, its perfect for me. I like the sound it has, Its not that whimpy sneeze. Its a nice loud pfffsshhhh as it realeses air. Like, it means business LOL

As far as the recirc, Im tired of the rich spike while cruising and the stutter it causes. Plus, I have the K&N SRI so Im thinking the recirc back into it will actually be louder. The K&Ns are known for their BARK! when you shift, cant imagine what the recirc sound would be like
