Insallation of:
94-97 STS Intake Tube in a 97 2.2 4cyl. S-10 |
|
Start off by unplugging the 02 sensor plug from the
stock tubing. Pull out the 02 sensor from the hose - you will be reusing
it.
|
 |
 |
|
|
With the hose loosened up, you can now lift the whole
air cleaner assemply up and out of the way.
|
 |
 |
To remove the other wierd airbox thingy, pry the plastic
doohickies up. This will allow you to remove the top of the fan shroud
(we are very techincal here).
|
|
Loosen up the hose clamp that secures the main hose
to the throttle body. WIth this done, you can now remove all remaining
stock air-intake components.
|
 |
 |
Now comes the fun part: installing the new intake
kit. First, slide one of the new silicone hoses over the throttle-body
opening.
|
|
Attach the first piece of the intake plumbing. Remember
to slide on two of the provided hose clamps before you go any further.
|
 |
 |
Bolt the tube down to the A/C compressor. This will
keep everything from moving around.
|
|
Plug the breather back into the valve cover and the
new intake tube.
|
 |
 |
Before he went any further, Jay installed the 02 sensor
onto the new lower intake tube.
|
|
The lower intake tube is then bolted onto the fan
shroud using the stock hardware.
|
 |
 |
The new upper and lower intake tubes finally meet
via a second silicone hose and another pair of hose clamps.
|
|
Double check that all hose clamps are tight...
|
 |
 |
All that's left to do is to plug in the 02 sensor
plug and you're done.
|
|
There, that's a lot better. Your engine now not only
looks better, but it will also perform better, and all in less than
30 minutes.
