couple spi questions...

shoulda_boughta_SHO · 11-11-2009, 10:30 PM

having trouble finding the 10mm screw tgat attaches to the wiring harness.. ive heard there are 1-3 of them but i dont see any... i need to get to pin 48 to install my new tach, couldnt stand not having one... pictures would be great. i know theres been like a million threads on this, sorry i just cant find that shit.
also... for a temporary short RAM air can i just stick a cone filter onto the end of MAF housing? will that work?

just take off your air box and clamp on an cone air filter. works great. that's what I did with mine.

if you can't find the bolt, can't you just take it out then? if not, just find the area that won't budge and you've probably found your screw.

is there a clamp that connects to the top of the airbox? i dont feel like running outside to look.. oh yea and one more thing is the green wire into pin 48 the only one i need? or do i still need to run the black and the other wire to the battery for power

regular (phillips I THINK for the TOP of the air box..... then two Torx screws that actually hold the top box to the intake tube.

ok i should be able to figure it out... i cant remember but i know the MAF is mounted on a black plastic ring at the end of the tube... i thught the box connected directly to that no tube in between.. so a cone will fit there?

mikebontoft · 11-11-2009, 11:08 PM

yes..... here's mine then.

ahh. thanks mike. any brand recommendations? i was thinking k+n

also ive been ridin her a little rough the past few days, and ive noticed the clutch is beginning to slip, and it REALLY wants to stall in first for whatever reason... and it hates going into reverse, it always takes a few tries to get it in, and when it finally grabs whoever is in shotgun has to hold it in place or it will slip out again.. any body have a recommendation for an aftermarket clutch? stage 1, or 2?

i have the same setup that mike does with the cone filter im just using a spectre from shucks and so is he... hey mike does yours rest on the base plate for your stock airbox and make noise?

shoulda_boughta_SHO · 11-12-2009, 03:00 PM
