who has modified air boxes, intakes?

i made one the other day, came out pretty good

i have a bunch of the tubing to duplicate the mod

i was thinking of buying one of those diode, that plug into the air intake temp sensor, anyone on here have one? they are all over ebay,,are they worth 5 hp maybe?

let me know

pics of my air intake is in my signature

thanks in advance for your thoughts on the ait thing

I can vouch that maybe 80% of us here dont use the stock airbox ahhaah!

BOSTON4RUNNER

anyone do the air intake temp sensor modification?

thanks, tim

What does the stock air box setup look like agian???? Hahahaha

the IAT mod has been discussed on this board and other vehicle boards, and the conscenus is that its a waste of time, money, and might possibly do damage to your truck. the reasoning behind that is supposedly, it makes the engine think that it is running lean, so it dumps more gas into the cc is the theory, as the computer will try to compensate for that...... however in the real world, the computer knows what is going on and just bypasses that circuit all together when this happens due to the fact it thinks something is broken or tampered with, and will still run, but not at optimized performance

I like your custom piping, but I would never run an open cone filter like that. If I only drove on the street, then maybe. But most of us off-road here so that is actually a very risky design. Both from a dirt and water standpoint.

Personally, I would run your custom piping to the stock airbox and do the deckplate mod with an Amsoil filter. My .02.

Nice work on the piping though.

truck is mainly street driven

eventually might convert to a full on snorkel

I am trying not to go crazy on the truck....but it is a challenge not to

is this mod pure BS or will it work?

anyone know what type of diode/resistor it is

and into which port it should be plugged into? I would like to go to the local electronics store and pick one up.

any ideas on this? thanks

Did you read this?

It does work but you can end up clogging up your O2 sensor much faster and again you will get worse gas mileage.

Just do the deckplate and amsoil filter like most have done and you'll get quite good results

already put a new air intake in the truck,,,,pics are on my webpage

do you know what type of diode/resistor that should be used?

thanks

It is all in here:

i just want to do it the simple way, insert diode/resistor into plug end

i dont want to do the dial, adjuster and all that other stuff

thanks, though

It is not a one size fits all resistor value and that is why some tuning is involved and why you need a potentiometer (variable resistor). You find the right value for your truck and then get the appropriate value resistor if you want it to be permanent (otherwise just leave the potentiometer in place). Each truck is different so you need to do some work to get this one. The ones they sell on ebay suck bigtime for exactly this reason.

BOSTON4RUNNER

thanks, appreciate the detail in your response

so the ebay ones suck

might just wait and find a supercharger

mandrel 2.5 exhaust going in saturday

I will post pics
