Specbobae Posted September 22, 2010 Share Posted September 22, 2010 I'm sure this is really simple, but i am a newbie:confused:..Someone please post a walkthrough on how to install my new K&N intake. its a short ram. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m sprank Posted September 22, 2010 Share Posted September 22, 2010 Did it not come with instructions? Remove OEM. Install rubber gasket around heat shield. Install adapter to heat shield with gasket. Put filter in hole. Install heat shield. Connect filter to adapter. Install pipe and coupler. Tighten both ends. Install MAF sensor. I dont even own a Typhoon lol. Thats just off the top of my head from memory. Welcome to the forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Specbobae Posted September 24, 2010 Author Share Posted September 24, 2010 cool thanks, im so excited to put this in today! voooooooosh pffff vooooooooosh pffff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTTuner Posted September 24, 2010 Share Posted September 24, 2010 Lay the filter inside the bottom of the fenderwell before you install the tube/adapter plate/heatshield. Follow spranks directions and put the filter on last. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bushman33 Posted September 24, 2010 Share Posted September 24, 2010 SPEC, You'll love the sound...Honestly, thats about all it's good for. I actually wish it was louder. Ya, the fenderwell trick made it very easy for me too. The only shitty part is when you need to clean the filter. I'm debating whether to unbutton the fenderwell or remove the heatshield in order to get the filter out. That truly is the crappiest part about it. Have fun!!!!

yardie Posted September 24, 2010 Share Posted September 24, 2010 From K&N: http://www.knfilters.com/instructions/69-8003_inst.pdf Actual install by our own Miss Jackie: http://legacygt.com/forums/showthread.php/k-n-typhoon-intake-05-lgt-127112.html?t=127112&highlight=typhoon Do you have any other power mods? Are you already tuned? I think it's suggested to tune the MAF scaling for the intake to be on the safe side. Gonna reinstall mine on the weekend for my touch up tune.

m sprank Posted September 24, 2010 Share Posted September 24, 2010 I have MAF scaling if needed. Its in a spreadsheet. Just need to copy values into your table. Data verified by Infamous1 and taken with a wideband O2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rtbrjason Posted September 24, 2010 Share Posted September 24, 2010 Cant send attachments via PM. Its not top secret and I am not selling it, so here you go for all to see. The curve on that modified scaling is pretty bad. Also this scaling is definitely different from the scaling I did for my K&N typhoon. It may not work for everyone, though adding 5-10% to the higher maf g/s values on the stock scaling should get it closer and prevent the lean knock that you'd get on a tuned car with stock maf scaling and an aftermarket intake.

m sprank Posted September 24, 2010 Share Posted September 24, 2010 It is a base. You are supposed to use RomRaider to dial it in perfect. No one said it was "perfect". None are. Every car is different and altitudes, humidity, air density all play a role. It is safe. It is a great starting point. It will work. It is safer than no tune, lol. If you have the tools to load it, you have the tools to dial it in by simply driving around. Closed loop of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Specbobae Posted September 28, 2010 Author Share Posted September 28, 2010 thanks everyone, placing the filter in the fenderwell really helped. only problem is i don't have any tools to do my MAF scaling... a good friend of mine told me that if i just drive it around enough my ecu will learn the changes and tune itself eventually Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Specbobae Posted September 28, 2010 Author Share Posted September 28, 2010 Bushman you are right, i wish it was a little louder too. but i love the sound and since i've never had an intake before i make sure people hear me when im driving by haha i can't wait for my catback and protune now! ill be having a lot more questions for yall soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your MAF scale is FUBAR'd as we speak and you're only going to cause problems ranging from pinging to all out bad knock events. Get it tuned or go to stock for the time being and no, I am not being sarcastic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m sprank Posted September 28, 2010 Share Posted September 28, 2010 If you have a cable and a laptop the software is free. Just copy the values I provided in to the tune. Flash. Then drive in closed loop using RR logger and MAF scaling tool to make final adjustments. As cheap as $30 if you have access to a laptop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Specbobae Posted September 29, 2010 Author Share Posted September 29, 2010 how much is it to tune? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Specbobae Posted September 29, 2010 Author Share Posted September 29, 2010 i didn't see that last post from m sprank. i think i will do it myself then, what kind of cable do i need? and i need a walkthrough...im am a newb to the car game. i don't know how to flash, rr logger? lol where do i plug the cable in? im so lost!...

m sprank Posted September 29, 2010 Share Posted September 29, 2010 Search, lol. Try http://www.romraider.com too. Tons of info. Getting a professional tune using your cable is as little as $150. All you need to be able to do is connect and send/log. No need to learn to tune. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rtbrjason Posted September 29, 2010 Share Posted September 29, 2010 For canbus which I think you have (07+), you will want a Tactrix 2.0 cable. Once you've got that you will need: ECU Flash for reading your stock rom and flashing changes back to the cars ecu. I also use ECUFlash for tuning but most people prefer RomRaider which you will need anyway for Data logging. You will also want a copy of Learning View which is a useful tool we all use for checking out learned timing pulled due to knock and fuel trims. It can also read your engine codes and reset the ecu. Get yourself to this point and then come back for further advice on where to start. Most likely at that point you will want to spend about $150 for someone to give you an "etune". There are several choices once you're ready. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Specbobae Posted September 29, 2010 Author Share Posted September 29, 2010 i just don't want to spend 150 now for a tune, then 150 again when i get my exhaust...should i just take off my intake for now? what will happen to my car if i leave it on? what does pinging and bad knock events mean?

m sprank Posted September 29, 2010 Share Posted September 29, 2010 No tune needed for CBE. Pinging and knocking lead to blown motor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Specbobae Posted September 30, 2010 Author Share Posted September 30, 2010 damn, blown motor..no bueno. how can you tell if your car is pinging or knocking? is that when the car bogs or something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Specbobae Posted September 30, 2010 Author Share Posted September 30, 2010 :O blown motor is no bueno... so what do you suggest, im getting my CBE sometime in spring will i be okay leaving the intake in until then? and tune it all together? or should i just tune it now and then add the CBE in spring? and one more question is how will not tuning lead to the pinging and knocking?

m sprank Posted September 30, 2010 Share Posted September 30, 2010 Air flow readings will be off. Air to fuel mixture will be off. Run lean, chance of knock. Knock is detonation. Detonation causes piston failure and lots of other issues (ie blown motor). Some knock you can hear (if you can hear it shut the engine down). But you can see it in logs too. You get no power from the intake. Just noise. No need for a tune for a CBE, but a tune might get you 10-15 ponies from the CBE. I woud pull the intake and install when I get the tune.
