I received my 1320 Junkie WD152 CAI (Ford Performance Blue) today, and wanted to make a "how to" for anyone interested.
Let me start by saying this kit is absolutely beautiful. The quality is top notch, and it's performance has been proven on the dyno, by many customers. After seeing the results posted, I knew this was the intake for me. That, and the fact that it can be customized with paint to match, or CF wrapped intake tube.
You will need the following tools:
Ratchet
7mm socket
8mm socket
10mm socket
Clip removal tool
I also used some assembly lube to assist getting the intake tube into the rubber elbow, and getting the IAT sensor into the grommet.
You can do the following in any order that works best for you, but here is how I went about removing the stock setup.
Unwrap the taped connection on the drivers side PCV tube, and unplug the sensor. You will be able to re-wrap the connection again after plugging it it.
Using a ratchet, and 7mm socket, remove loses the clamp holding the stock intake tube to the throttle body.
Using the clip removal tool, or something similar, release the rubber vacuum line from the intake tube.
Remove the IAT wiring g=harness, and the coolant line on the back side of the intake tube form the studs bu pulling up on the clips.
Release the PCV time by releasing the blue plastic tab while pulling the tube away from the intake tube.
Release the other end of the PVV tube from the drivers side cam cover. You may need a pick, or small flat head screwdriver to release the tab, as its hard to get your finger tip on.
Remove the 10mm bolt holding the air box to the fender well. Now you can remove the stock air box and intake tube assembly as one complete unit.
Remove the stock IAT sensor from the stock intake tube by turning it counter clockwise and set it aside for installation into the 1320 Junkie tube.
Remove the stock air intake snout form the stock air box by popping it off the 3 tabs.
Take this time to wire tie the IAT harness to the coolant line because the new location will be on the underside of the 1320 Junkie tube.
I took advantage of this time to use a wire tie to secure the coolant line from the SC coolant tank to the brake line up against the side of the engine compartment. It was in the stock supplied clip that holds it to the radiator hose, but it is not a great design, and others have reported it falling out and rubbing on the alternator pulley.
Now start assembling the 1320 Junkie CAI by installing the stock TB adaptor into the appropriate end of the massive 6" ID elbow. This can be removed to accommodate a larger TB in the future, if need be.
Use your finger to apply a little lube to the rubber grommet on the 1320 Junkie intake tube, and insert the stock IAT sensor until it bottoms out. You can apply pressure to the grommet from the inside of the intake tube to prevent the grommet from popping out while pushing the IAT into place. Lube of some kind is the key to a successful instal of the sensor. Turn it so it faces perpendicular to the air flow.
You can either purchase an already modified PCV tube, or modify yours. I decided to get the already modified tube, so I could see the stock one for the possibility of returning it to stock some day. Here is a comparison photo of the two tubes. I have also included 1320 Junkie's modification video incase you decide to go that route.
You have an option of getting a blue, black, red, or white air filter (red picture coming soon).
This phot shows why you will want to run the IAT harness to this location. It also shows the IAT sensor perpendicular to the air flow.
You will now use the 8mm socket to secure the 1320 Junkie elbow to the TB, and the filter to the intake tube.
Black and blue installed
Don't forget to place the stock intake snout back in place
I chose to use the white filter for now (also a sneak peak of my next install post, haha).
I have heard that a heat shield is coming soon for this CAI, I will keep my ears open, and when it’s released I will update this thread with the addition of heat shield installation.
