So I am in the process of doing my 1.8 swap and bought a cheapo cold air intake to get me by before going turbo. Only my problem is that the intake is for a NB. Meaning in has a small rubber grommet inside of a hole for the factory IAT sensor. I tried to cover this up using silicone, didn't work very well. Epoxy maybe??? It is made of aluminum. I have a IAT I'm swapping in but its too small inside the hole. I plan on just drilling a hole and threading it to screw the IAT in. Any suggestions??
Thanks

 

Duct tape?

 

If you're being serious I'm not trying to doubt but would that work?

 

 

If you are going to throw it away... how about a pop can, silicone and some hose clamps

 

Weld a proper bung?

 

Might try. I'm going legitimately going to try that seen on TV tape "Flex Tape"!!!! Which I know might be dumb, but how do you know what a hidden gem is if you don't try it?

 

Aluminum tape. Better for high temps, strong enough, matches the rest of the pipe.

 

Buy a pipe. This isn't Honduras.

 

 

take your pick, bottom of the page, bumpers & grommets

my bad. 1990 usdm chassis, jdm 1.8 from a 1999, and a ms3x built by brain.

 

You answered the wrong thread.

 

did you drill that hole out with your teeth?

just clamp a coupler over it.

 

whoops, lol that's what I get for using my phone

 

no lol its a perfect circle but the silicone makes it look deformed

 

I say wrap a monster can over the hole with some silicone clamps and send it. +5HP (Because Monster)

 

Yeah I came up with that conclusion yesterday, I tested spark and they fired normal. Lol, that throws me for a loop.

 

whenever I post from my phone is goes to the wrong thread lol, my bad
