Secondary Air Injection plate install Part I

[lromoda]

And that needs to be done with a Tuneboy, or by a service center. There is nothing a PowerCommander can do about it.

I have a non-SAI/after market can-pipe custom tune .

its really quite rediculous and i personally find it useless...

nice over ride

Plauge? It helps to burn extra fuel from going out the tailpipe. That means the factory can run the engines richer for more power in stock tune. Seems good to me...

[shrunkenhead]

can you still pass emissions w/o the SAI?

[TrackerOldGuy]

I don't know the regulations. Some places test the exhaust , some check for the equipment. I have not lived in a state that does these things yet.

[shrunkenhead]

my last emission test they just tested the exhaust and didn't look for any equipment.

The SAI system weighs 13 ounces.

I took mine off today and weighed it.

Liberates a bit more room though.

A question for the boys who have taken the SAI off. What is the internal diameter of the whole in the end of the air intake pipe? I'd like to just bumg the hole rather than take all of the SAI off.

I ran a non SAI tune with my Zard no baffle and SAI in place. It ran well but I got loads of back fires (flames too) but strangely no errors.

Hi,

I've decided to remove the SAI from my 05 daytona engine in order to use the Massive tunes.

Read this really useful thread - Thanks

Couple of questions...

Where do you get the blanking plates from? The ones you painted sexy blue?

Also where did you get the airbox plug from?

Did you just leave the SAI harness connectors hanging in the breeze?


Thanks in advance

Side benefits include:
- losing a pound or two of useless weight
- the self-satisfaction of knowing you pulled two pounds of useless weight off your machine :roll:
- the danger and mysique of getting away with something behind the EPA's back :lgh:
- and oh yeah, a little more room to change the spark plugs :-D

I could stand to lose a pound or two off me!
As I live in Massachusetts, a near police state when it comes to inspection, I kept the plumbing on. My solution was to plug the hose at the air box. Works great and I can reverse it easy for inspection if needed. Great post. Thanks!
