Correct. The product is implied to fit and function correctly for the car itās advertised to fit. If it does not and the manufacturer will not make it right, thatās literally a major reason for the chargeback to exist. Iāve had to do it and it absolutely can be a course of action that works.
Credit card chargeback was made for situations like this. If the product does not meet reasonable expectations for use, then the manufacturer has to make it right. If not, you get your money back.
I just dig up the instructions and they donāt call the fittings out specifically. Looks like it shipped with those parts installed from Corsa (like your picture confirms). Sorry I donāt have a better answer.
I donāt know off hand but believe I still have the original documentation for that CAI from when I installed it, so Iāll take a look for that when I get back home.
Since Iām working from home today, I ran out to the garage and popped the hood on our Mustang and grabbed some pics for you. Both hoses are OEM if memory serves and Corsa provides the fittings to click them on. Itās been very secure, weāve had the intake on pretty much since buying the car new...
Be careful. A thicker head gasket can push your quench distance into undesirable territory, making your car *more* detonation prone⦠the opposite of what youāre trying to do.
Yes as Ruiner says below. Would need a way for the ECU to output a PWM signal thoughā¦
Smoothboost works great on a centrifugal too FYI⦠;)
Agreed, Smoothboost would let a centrifugal run āraceā pulleys even in street use.
Yep :)
Iāve been running Smoothboost on my 1066 WHP Camaro for about 4 years now. Iāll never own another pd blower without a Smoothboost. Being able to run the same pulley combo whether street or strip is worth it alone.
I definitely understand (my Camaro is 1066 WHP so Iām not a stranger to getting air into motors lol). But removing restrictions on an NA motor is typically a good thing, the 22/23 engines were rated at less HP and the necked down intake was part of that reason. That was my point. :)
Check this thread out. Actual MAF tube ID was measured by a fellow forum member.

I donāt think thatās true since the ā22-ā23 MAF tube is necked down a good bit. The CAI fixes that. Plus OEM has a much smaller filter vs a good brand CAI. I would bet a beer (or several lol) on that test if someone did a back to back on the same dyno.
Agreed. And FWIW I did a Corsa CF CAI on our ā22 and no tune was needed at all. So it eliminates the carbon trap BS and lets you pick up a few more HP (while looking damn good lol).
