Got this intake off ebay, supposedly an airforce1, thing is, I think its missing pieces

Heres what it came with: http://mywebpages.comcast.net/simsiz...8-0842_IMG.JPG

Am I missing something or do I not get whats going on?

 

Not an AirForce One. It might be a MAC. I could have told you if everything was there if would have been an AirForce One but I'll have to leave this one to someone else.

 

This is driving me nuts, I dont get how anything fits together!! This one piece has 4 bolts, but theres nothing for it to bolt to?

 

That thing with the 4 bolts is where your MAF goes. Take it out of the stock filter housing and bolt it to the plate. Then the filter goes on the right and the rubber coupling on the left. Looks like you got everything.
If someone notices something I've missed, I'm sure they'll chime in.
Good luck!!

 

I have the same thing. It's a C3Intake - as in Cheap Chinese Copy Intake. The only thing you are missing is the metal plate the big metal L bracket bolts to underneath the airfilter. When you pull your original filter housing out, you will see the two holes the housing legs plug into. The L bracket has two holes and bolts into these holes with a metal bracket underneath.
The front hose plugs into the small rectangular box next to the intake. The longer hose plugs into the driver side valve cover.
The IAT sensor goes into the rubber plug. The MAF canister you pull out of the original intake goes between the filter/bracket and the rubber boot.
I found that the clamps were garbage. You may want to pick up some better ones before getting started.
Here is a pic from mhussey on the completed install:

So I *am* missing something?


DAMNIT! Can I still complete the install without that?

 

BTW, is that the actual name?

He said its a Superflow, and got it off Truckperformance.com but I dont see it there.

 

I thought I saw the metal L bracket in the picture.

You need 2 bolts for those holes maybe 1.5" long, and the washers, lock washer and nuts ( or poly lock nuts ).

Go by an auto store and get some gasket material for the MAFS that is mounted to the steel plate. I used a MAFS gasket from my K&N for my Accufab MAFS adapter plate, and Neal just did the gasket paper route. Same results for both.

Just trim a gasket the outline of the MAFS ( outside shape and the inside 80mm opening ), and place it between the metal L bracket that the filter is mounted on.
Maybe get some better bolts for the L bracket to MAFS ( the qty 4 in the picture ) in Stainless steel with poly lock nuts.

That looks like the FIPK that is commonly refered to as the eBay FIPK in the threads around here. Forget who the auction was by.

So 6 blot / nut combos and some better clamps from the other threads, and you should be good to go.

At least that is what I see by the picture.

Gasket material? Is it needed, or just something that I *should* get?

Ill get the bolts tomorrow. Any good tutorials on how to install this anyway? Thanks!

 

It would be under the column of should. Another member noted that the AEM also has gaps in the MAFS Adapter plate.

It is a just to be sure thing. A Napa or AutoZone should have some gasket paper in sheets for the roll your own gasket method.
For the cost of a 6"x6" piece of gasket paper, it is good insurance.

As for installing that one, I don't recall one, buy maybe a search on the term eBay might produce some threads, and maybe a member posted some how tos on it.

If not you can try to find instructions on any FIPK install, they are all basically the same install. If you have a Fax number, I can fax you a copy of the K&N install sheet, if you cannot find anything else. Drop me an email in my profile.

Thanks for the help

Anyways, this looks like the same thing I got http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...category=33659

03F15054FX4,

BigDeal said that the install directions from the Airraid were just like the one you have, and the web site has the directions that can be down loaded in pdf format for the install.

See what that gets you

Ill be performing the install in about a half an hour, wish me luck!

BTW, I got some new clamps, some bolts and some poly lock nuts. Oh, and some 1/32" thick fiber gasket material.
