alright. im gonna be making my own air intake. but all i know is i need 60 degree exhaust pipe. a cone filter. and some hose clamps. but isnt there a senor in air intakes? i have 95 xj sport. 4.0

 

oh yeah this is one I need to follow, I want to do this same thing but have no idea where to start...R

 

i made my own using the stock intake elbow off teh TB and a piece of 3" pvc pipe. (plastic conducts less heat) and a Spectre cone filter. I will try to get a pic

 

ok, well i think i figured out a good way to make it. 3 inch bent exhaust pipe. cone air filter. hose clams. and a small breather filter.

 

Spectre air filter from autozone... 25 bucks.. bent 3 inch exhaust.. cant find that online. hose clamps.3 bucks each for twist handles.. and breather .. where can i find a spectre breather.

 

what about the sensors, just drill into the plastic?

 

you can find all the pieces at your local auto zone

 

the sensor for the air intake . if im correct. isnt located on the box itself. its a grey clip beside it. so adding or removing the box wont damage the sensor. i will go check to make sure.

I've been working on my intake. I started by scrounging an s-10 intake (I got the V6) and gluing up the hot-air-valve, which actually made it run a lot better. My advice is to at least start with a scrounged intake, and modify it to your likes. I want a snorkel in the end, but I've started by just sealing up what I can, and my mods have strangely made the car run a lot better.

 

ok, i figured it all out except one thing!!.. when you pull your air box off. there it the tube going into the the CCV..i know that can be replaced with a breather..but the one tube to the right is what?

 

that tube goes to the vacuum canister I believe. on the passenger side of the engine. follow the tube all the way there.

 

yeah. thats what it goes into. but when i install the new intake. where do i put it. will i have to make a spot for it?

 

making home made air intake. but the the hose that goes into the vacuum canister. what can i do with that. will i have to make a nozzle? or can i put a breather on the to?

 

If you make the larger tube for the air intake out of PVC pipe you can just drill a hole in the correct position and put new attachment points for the hoses into the tube and just seal it with sealant made for that purpose. I had a homemade intake on my 1994 Cherokee but the cone filter kept getting so dirty from being exposed to water and road spray laying on the shelf I finally took it out and restored the factory filter. I guess I could have built a little sheet metal wall to cure the spray problem. I havent really noticed any performance difference since going back to the factory housing. I have one of the 99+ intake manifolds and upgraded 4 hole injectors on my Cherokee
