I really wish I had some advice for you but I haven't a clue at what you are dealing with visually.
Are you talking about the MAF element that is in that plastic tube? This is my power pipe not a CAI but may be close to your project. The Maf is connected to bolted plate that bolts to the cylinder that the K&N inserts over and the other side of the Maf is using a rubber sleeve to connect to the pipe.

not sure what sensor you're talking about, but whatever it is, you should be able to break it completly down without breaking anything. The KanN, if it was the factory replacement, you could get some sheetmetal screws and screw into the plastic base of the filter, but there are adapters for that, and specific filters too. Put the stock stuff back together to get to work, throw some pics up later, we'll be able to "engineer" things from there. good luck man

hey 94SC50 the other guy knows about what im talking about do you get what im talking about from what i wrote to the other guy? do you have any ideas??

LOL

Yes you can get the sensor out of the plastic housing.
You will need a flathead screw driver. Just pry it apart.

The maf will have 4 bolts to it, so u can just bolt on the KN metal piece to the MAF, then put the filter on the metal piece. Then just use rubber hose connectors from the MAF to the TB.

ITs easy dude.

Everyone gotta learn sometime!

Goodluck!

yellow5.0cobra · May 17, 2004

Completely lost in ur sitution now!

95red · May 17, 2004
