Need Help! Please! Airbox disassembly/ maf adapter installation

blkdoutlancer · Oct 8, 2009, 12:32 AM

I am trying to install a custom SRI on my auto 05 lancer es and Im having problems disassembling the airbox completly to detach the MAF sensor, and the flange/flap does not allow me to attach the maf adapter that my intake came with. If anybody has had a problem with this and knows what to do I would reallyy appreaciate any advice and help. Also does anyone know what adapter would fit on a 05 lancer?

Thanks!

Are you thinking about doing a CAI instead of the SRI? I did a quick SRI on mine but want to go for the CAI. I want to move the battery first to free up some room.

Thanks! Im gona order one today.. I ordered an intake of ebay n it came with one of those cheap metal adapters that didnt even fit. Did you have any problems getting the MAF sensor disconnected from the airbox because I got it took apart where I could see the honeycomb where the adapter connects but couldnt figure out how to get it completly off the box.. As for a CAI I was thinking about infront of the battery too but there is no way enough room in autos, I found a place directly beneath the airbox and a little inwards that would work with custon piping which is what I might do because I started cutting the one I got off ebay so it will fit.

Help installing Short Ram Intake for 04 ES please.

i used the guide that JoesOzRally2003 wrote. worked like a charm

!!

yeah i figured i will go and put the CAI where i really want it by moving that battery. Planning on doing much more when taxes come in and then the fun will really start!!

Thanks! Good luck with that CAI, and when you get it in post up some pics if you don't mind I'd like to see how you got in in and where you moved the battery to.

Yea it deffinetly will, what else are you planing on doing to your lancer.
