Want to do the dual snorkel on my 90 RS. Need Help.

K, I already have the dual snorkel and everything else from my 89 RS. My problem is the setup on my 90 RS is a little different.

Here's a pic



What needs to be done to relocate the sensor?

I think I've seen people using the MAF sensor, but I don't know exactly what would need to be done to use that.

for any help!

you are putting a dual snorkel intake on the car pictured right? and what sensor are you talking about the MAF, if so that just stays where it is.

Re: Want to do the dual snorkel on my 90 RS. Need Help.

its a 3.1 it dosent have a maf. u would need to get the rubber bellows of a 2.8 car that has the dual snorkle intake. on the end of that u would have to get a short piece of 3 inch tubing and a 3inch silicone/rubber connector to hook the tubbing to the airbox.
i belive the sensor u are talking about is the air temp sensor,the dual snorkle airbox has a place to screw it into, u will just have to extend the sensor wires so they reach


edit or u can just go buy two 3 inch connectors and use a lil longer piece of 3 inch tubing which would work/look much cleaner

Yea I have the complete setup sittin in my 89 RS. So I do NOT need to hook up the MAF? I don't know if this makes a big difference but this is a 2.8. Thanks Dave.

if the car has a maf, yes you do have to hook it up. the picture is loading very slow so I don't know exactly what it shows but, maf has to be in there if the car has one, and if you have/are asking about the IAT sensor, extend you wires and screw it in/plug it in.

Search my user name, I posted a whole tech writeup on how to do this, including gutting the maf. It was a year ago or more, so you will have to hunt.

Would that intake work on a 1992 3.1 Firebird?
