The BEST CAI ???

[98 svt]

As long as the CAI is designed for a 2.0 Focus, then the CAI will fit, correct?
Also, where are you buying the pre-filter?
Why buy a filter from another site? Doesn't the CAI come with the filter?
Post the link to the CAI you peeps bought.

i dont know if that will work for you since its logged in under my name .. but you can try .. :shrug:

 

[98 svt]

I don't want anything with a damn AEM decal on it.
Does it come already stuck to the tube?


Lightning, which Ebay CAI did you buy?
Got the link? Did you need to buy anything else?

 

[5pointHo]

yes it comes on the tube ...

 

[Lightningfr]

it comes with everything
the hose clamps are cheapy's i use to work at a hardware store so i stopped by and took a couple they sell for about .79$
and i also ran a seperate breather out of the crankcase

 

[98 svt]

by seperate breather, you mean a breather filter, rather than the hose that goes from crank case to the CAI.
Did you just plug the whole on the CAI?
Also, why did you use the breather?

Also which Ebay CAI did you buy? Got the link?

 

[Lightningfr]

there was a red and blue but i dont see them anymore just search for cai svt focus
the cai is specific for the svt the tb is a little diff

this is who i bought mine from http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Ford-02-03-04-Focus-SVT-2-0L-Cold-Air-Intake-Kit-Filter_W0QQitemZ180128463066QQihZ008QQcategoryZ38634QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

its silver

 

[98 svt]

Thanks again!
But what's the reason for the breather?
What are the benefits, and what did you plug the whole with on the CAI?

Also, your idle is still fine, and no random stalling, correct?

5/8 rubber cap. w/e the id of the hose is

breather so i wouldnt get any engine oil build up on the air filter thats hanging down low.

[02AllBlackSVT]

if u wanna cut your tubing to fit it

 

[98 svt]

+^^^
Couldn't I just install it between the upper and lower pieces on the CAI?
Or will it not fit (lack of space)

 

[02AllBlackSVT]

Silver Ebay

They only have the polished ones up now theres no colors. but reason why we got difffer filters cuz the ebay ones suck.

 

[02AllBlackSVT]

lack of space

 

[Lightningfr]
