Cold air intake
How do I install a cold air intake on a turbocharged 2.0 Dart SXT |
I'm certain that there are youtube videos that demonstrate exactly what you want to know.
Essentially, you'll need the usual suspects when it comes to tools (helpful tip, keep these items in a belt pouch or similar small tool bag for frequent access) Phillips and Flathead screwdrivers 3/8ths size Ratchet Wrench 1/4 bit 3/8ths 7/16ths 10mm 11mm 12mm 13mm Short extension Long extension and also your intake kit. You will be removing your old air hose, air box, and filter. So be prepared to unplug a sensor (that probably clips on in a clever way that might require a flathead a screwdriver to undo). Before anything happens at all, unpack your parts (especially the washers and screws!) And count that everything that is listed in the build of materials section in the instructions is present. Next, pick a time to start where you have plenty of time to make a run to the hardware store if you end up needing to. If you are inexperienced, assume it will take you as long as 2 hours to figure it all out and get it looking neat and clean. If you've done your own work before, you will be able to figure this out pretty quickly. It's about as easy as an oil change, just a few more steps (especially if you have to remove hoses or parts of the bumper for access). Start by grabbing the instructions and looking under your hood. Take stock of what you see and what the instructions tell you to do. As you start wrenching on parts, be cautious not to break anything. You will likely be re-using the connectors and screw holes the original parts used, so be especially careful not to break those. If you don't already have a solid tool box for general maintenance, I recommend: Phillips screwdriver Flathead screwdriver Blue 3M tape Duct tape Hardening Silicone epoxy non-haredening silicone grease 1/4 size rachet wrench 3/8th size Ratchet wrench 1/2 size rachet wrench Long Extension for each wrench Short Extension for each wrench The following rachet bits: 1/4 7/16ths 3/8ths 1/2 5/8ths 10mm 11mm 12mm 13mm 14mm Sparkplug socket Step-up and Step-down bits Adjustable / crescent wrench Needle nose pliers Wire cutters / dykes Zipties in a variety of sizes and colors Black grease pencil White grease pencil Tin snips Saftey wire / wire tie You don't need the last full set of tools for this job, But it makes most work easier to have that stuff on hand; ready to grab and go. Good luck with your mod! Let us know how it goes! |
