ok i am thinking about making one,
but first i need to know a few things,

like: do i need to worry about any sensors in my current air flow piping??

also where is the best place to put the K&N filter:
close to the throttle or close to the pipe opening???

 

uh do a topic search. Thi shas been beaten to death.

 

There's only one sensor in your '91's intake piping... the MAT, manifold air temp sensor. It measures the temp of incoming air. You could tape it to the outside of your filter, tape it near the filter, hang it by the filter, etc- it doesn't measure the air flow itself. The key point would be to NOT put it by the hot engine.

Likewise, you don't want your air filter close to the throttle. Yes, that'd be the least restrictive intake, since air would flow thru less piping, but you'll pick up HOT air from the engine. Cold air = more dense = more power.

What I and a few others have done is modified (or in my case, ran new tubing) the intake ducts to hold a K&N conical near the fender. That's a cold-air-intake, tho... to make ram air, you'd either put the K&N facing the outside air, or run ducting between the K&N and outside air. The first choice is the best since your air filter's getting ALL the rammed air- but the filter's more "open" to dirt/water/small animals/etc.
