like the pipe thing, isn’t connecting to the coupler thing. and then for the mass air flow sensor, its not getting any power, I tested it with that voltage meter. ---

if the coupler isnt going on the pipe. pry it on using a thin flat head screwdriver or something, and for the Maf make sure its connected to the harness and that u didnt splice or cut anything during the install… did you drop the maf on the floor? ---

whats a Maf? and do I really need that bypass foam thing? to block water from getting sucked into the engine? I pretty much just used pliers and pealed back the metal to make the hole for the intake, do you think I should cut that stuff out? Some of the hoses are really old and I don’t see them going anywhere, can I just remove them? ---

sigh… ok… i really effed up today… enough of the bullshit, i’m not doing a cold air intake install lol and i didn’t blow my maf, and yes, i know what an maf is… I did a front and rear big ass brake kit upgrade, front wilwood 12.2"s and rear 11.4"… I filled up the MC with brake fluid, went to the rear brake at the opposite side to bleed, snaped the bleeder valve right off the caliper… i had pb blasted it first too… fortunately i have an extra caliper but getting the spacers on the larger rotor bracket was a pain… not to mention coordinating with the ebrake cable…tackle that tomorrow. When i setup my wideband and my turbo timer previously i didn’t seem to be getting enough power out of the ignition sources I was taping into… I decided to tap directly into the wires coming from my ignition switch and having previously tested the system with my trusty voltage meter, everything red 12v and was great… one thing that i probably forgot to consider… SIGNIFICANTLY consider… amperage… next thing you know… nothing turns on, see the wire smoking and UUUUHH OOOOHHH… turbo timer is DONE, fuse inside the unit is blown… I haven’t checked the wideband yet but thats probably gone too… I gota check on the stock fuses but i’m pretty sure I’m gona have to replace a bunch of them… my interior lights and dash lights won’t turn on… thats gota be one of them. I gota get a whole series of AGU or AUG fuses now and play it safe… don’t want this to happen again. New Wideband and new EBC are coming… i gota look for a tt… on the other hand… i got my a arm brace on, both my front axles back on… i started figuring out the bracketry for the front g20 power seats…sigh… you gota move backwards to move forwards sometimes i guess… btw… I don’t own an s13 or an s14… I own an altima, a ka cousin. ---
