[Bukowski=Legend]

Throttle cable?

You got an automatic?
You talking throttle cable, or the cable that goes from the Throttle Body to the Transmission?
If it's the later, I can take a couple photos and send them to you of what I did whith mine when I installed the BigAst K&N on it.

yeah the thottle cable and is automatic too ifu got pics send them to me at [email protected]

 

[abe805]

neva mind is the one the goes to the transmision i to a good look at it now so hw do u moved it out the way or how do install the intake

 

[jose3030]

hey

you need to cut it to get the "thick metal" part off

kinda do one of those lil things that you twist round and round....
and cuts metal...
you dig?

but not cut the ACTUAL cable. (that would be catastrophic)

 

[lilboi tony]

yeah i had the sam problem, i decided to screw the intake, and just toss on a OBX filter over the stock pipes, or else you would haft to coustomize yur own pipe that would drop down like the stock pipe.

 

[Bukowski=Legend]

no cuttin involved

I just turned my intake elbow down a little.
Removed the bracket. (upper arrow)
Zip tied the cable to another that ran near it. (second arrow)
And zip tied it to a bracket behind battery. (lower arrow)

This is still part of my temp install to see if it will work.
I've had it on for a week and no shifting problems. hint: if you move the cable too far, you will get the "[email protected], my trans is going out" sweats.... just get the cable back closer to it's normal position. You can move it up to 1/2 inch or so.

I am replacing the zip ties tomorrow with hose brackets that fit that cable.

nother pic

removed bracket below....

 

[lilboi tony]

hey where'd you get that 90degree tube from?

 

[abe805]

i just move the elbow down a bit and add a cone filter and thats all i need to do but i whant the pipeing so i guess ill just **** with it "hey the 90 degree elbow is in the car "

 

[Bukowski=Legend]

It oughta be a little familiar....

It's half of the S shaped tube between the Throttle Body and the Air Box. Just take the the tube off and twist / lightly pry at the seam in the middle. It has a plastic sleeve that both 90s are glued to to make the S shape. Go easy with it.
I placed the sleeve (no glue) back inside the 90 that I used and if fit the bigast K$N filter perfectly.
Tilted it down a little and had to plug the old air line and drill a new hole for it, but it really was simple (and cheap )
Next time I'm in that area I'll pull off the 90 and make photos of the relative position of the hole and get the size etc.

 

[abe805]

[lilboi tony]

The BigAst K$N

SOrry, I mean Bukowski=Legned, how big was the k & n filter, and how much did you pay????? I am interested in doing that, did you notice any performance changes???? ANd how long has it been installed for????

Spent almost two hours at a local PepBoys searching for the biggest one that would fit after careful measuring....
The K&N number is: E-1796
It does rub the sparkplug wires on the distributor cap and the battery tray but both by very little.
As far as performance, Hell man, my Legend is so [email protected] Fast it's hard to judge...
hehe, yeah, felt like it picked up a little. Sounds way cool when you step on it, so like a dog going to bells, my gas milage is goin down...
