Isawara CAI

[edwin_lcw]

any iswara owners did CAI ? can show me or tell me how u did it ? coz i`m at the end of my brain thinking of the jalan

haha... i used to be in ur situation too... but at last i did mine...
the CAI hose cannot pass through the front like other cars... must go through the sides under the fenders...
do u notice there's a small round hole at the sides jz behind ur headlamp??... get ur CAI hose through there, vertically going down the mudguard, then reroute it back up through the sides of ur bumper.... some told me they dont need to open the side fenders but from what i see, u need lo... once u open the fenders, u'll get the idea of how to route the CAI hose out...

in this way, u also dont have to worry any water being sucked up coz water can hardly go vertically up the CAI hose...

i try to post up pictures next time... wish u luck....

errr i did mine..i posted last time try search for it...

hey bro sky...i tot of that too...but my mech got better idea. u juz cut the metal beside the headlamp...so that ur CAI can go thru juz beside it...err dunno how to explain lah..

 

[SkYwAlKeR]

if ur mech can cut a hole for u good lo... if not u'll need a blowtorch or mechanical saw to do it...

if u want DIY, try to figure how to take off that fender and cut abit of mudguard away... that mudguard is made of hard rubber, so if u got big scissors can enough adi....

pictures still havent available... sorry....

CAI = Cold Air Intake lo ..... mostly cars not CAIed the air comes from engine ma .... so its like taking back hot air lo ... if got CAI oledi then the car is taking cold air lo .... how ? then have to depend on your car lo .... gotta ask professional ... i onli know how to do CAI on wira onli .... thanks to KHGUAN idea .....

 

[nitrus]

there's many ways (well, not really many, but quite a few) to do a CAI in ur car la...

like wat they said, can cut the mudguard, or hold at the side bla bla ...

but u can do other ways too ..

Think.

go jack-up ur car, look everywhere in ur engine bay ... trial n error la bro.

yeap... actually both sides also u can do CAI... on the right side, the hole is clear for u to sumbat the CAI hose through... if u wanna do it on left side, u have to relocate the headlight relays... the hole is jz in the middle between the water reservoir and headlamp, so ur CAI hose will be able to fit through...

finding the part to get the hose was easy... but be reminded that u cant jz use force and sumbat ur CAI hose all the way down as there is a piece or rubber mudguard blocking the way... if u lazy to open the fenders, jack up ur car... unscrew a few bolts somewhere near the area... pull down the rubber mudguard and cut a hole jz enough for ur CAI hose to go through...
of coz u will get the whole idea if u willing to open the troublesome fender..

for CAI hose diameter, i'm not too sure which one i'm using... i'm using car aircond hose, those black flexible rubber hose... that hose jz manage to fit through that round hole at the side....

for the pictures, sorry to say i'm now back at hometown... my line (dail-up) here is extremely slow... but i'll try to get it done in cybercafe... in the mean time, try get ur hands dirty and figure out ur own lo....:regular_smile:

[siong]

bro.. where to connect the CAI hose??? i mean iswara se... any pix of where to connect????

 

[nitrus]

u guys quite lazy ar... ppl give the pics all for you already still can ask wan.. hahhaha,

instead of posting here keep asking , why don't you guys go jack-up your car and look around inside your engine bay / body ?
put your hand around inside / under tyre / fender and feel around ... go go. dont waste ur time asking here ady. we can NEVER be able to tell you exactly how to do it.. go learn.

its very simple. all u need is to find places to fit ur hose from the front --> air filter . Ok ? thats all . go go.
