Chrome intakes install

jc71corvette · 03-10-2008, 05:40 PM

In a few weeks im going to install my chrome intakes intake on my 98 2.2

Before I go ahead is there any pointers or things I should look out for before I do it?
I remember reading the other topics(from searching) and some of you guys were saying stuff about damaging the intake pipe because it got to hot. I don't know but any tips that would help me out is appreciated.

Petterle · 03-10-2008, 05:55 PM

its pretty straight foreward, it took me like 20 minutes

jc71corvette · 03-10-2008, 06:26 PM

I read here that you guy's had some fun with the intake sensor and the grommet, right?

chevyDime98 · 03-10-2008, 07:32 PM

chromeintakes is usually pretty good about the sensor grommet, the only thing you may have to look out for is that if you have ac the chome intake comes very close to the ac comp. u may have to space it

jc71corvette · 03-11-2008, 01:04 PM

Thats what I ment lol. I couldn't put my finger on it.

Where do you put the bracket on that is provided

chevyDime98 · 03-11-2008, 01:06 PM

i didnt really use it cause it was flimsy and looked like crap went bent, they include a little "L" bracket thing when i had mine, i bolted it to the top left bolt on the ac comp, this gave me the proper spacing for the intake and ac pulley. it will make more sense when u go to install your intake

greencactus3 · 03-11-2008, 01:23 PM

throw away that flimsy 'bracket'
just go buy some stock aluminum and bend it and drill it to how you want

ChiefRoberts · 03-11-2008, 01:34 PM

make sure after you install it that the actual pipe itself isnt touching anything that will damage it..or it will vibrate a hole in the pipe

Mattie L. · 03-11-2008, 01:35 PM

if you position your tube right, and tighten it enough it will be fine and wont move...i have ac and the only thing i had problems with once was the dame cone falling off!!

Chris0nllyn · 03-11-2008, 01:45 PM

ive also heard that the pipe is a lil long and the filter hits the bottom

chevyDime98 · 03-11-2008, 01:54 PM

i had to trim mine at the TB cause it was too long and ran right into the ac lol

Wrkn prgs · 03-11-2008, 06:03 PM

I have my bracket mounted to my fan shroud. My g/f turned my a/c on before I put the bracket on and chewed up the side a little.

Als, the o2 sensor grommet works alright, it just sucks trying to get the sensor inside of the grommet without pushing the grommet through the intake tube.

Chris0nllyn · 03-11-2008, 09:30 PM

its an intake air temp. sensor

Dr. Pepper · 03-12-2008, 01:25 AM

yea, mines got a real nice groove in the side of mine. i really cant believe it hasnt gone thru it. i have it spaced now, but didnt realize it til it already did its damage.

i think this intake looks a lot better than the chrome intakes intake...and also looks a lot sturdier as well

stalephotograph · 06-22-2008, 10:10 PM

sucks that the seller doesnt have anymore of them.

HAHA YES THEY DO!!! i did some more searches around ebay, and found the seller! its a new seller, but the intake is the same. looks like he changed names or something. the other one was for a "GMC SONOMA" which is the same as an s10 but now the site advertises them as for s10s since most people will search for S10.

the seller name is imperialautoshop. search his name in ebay, there you will find the intake.

if your lazy search 99-04 CHEVY S10 4CYL 2.2L HEAT SHIELD AIR INTAKE 02 03

or if your really lazy here is a link

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/_Car-...m170232174123&

dont forget to use the "rate me" if this post helps you out

ehh, yes and no. in my areas there is very deep water in some places so i didnt want to take a chance. it didnt take vary long to cut the floor mat to waterproof the intake but was worth the peace of mind.
