Fujita SRI Install Question

abulmash · 05-01-2008, 05:09 PM

I didn't see anything about this anywhere, so I was just curious if anyone else with this intake (or I assume any other SRI) has dealt with this. I can't seem to find any way to angle the intake so that the coupler attached to the throttle body ISN'T resting on the upper radiator hose. I know that the factory intake had a rubber spacer and "clamp" that went around that hose, but it just seems like with enough vibration, heat, etc that this could pose a problem, but maybe I'm just being paranoid. Is this just standard for how this thing is installed?

Did you drink the NOS Energy Drink before the install??

But seriously I just got my Fujita and was wondering the same exact thing.

take the factory stock tubing out from underneath the radiator hose, it just twists off and u should be good. it will touch maybe a little bit then, but not much. i have a sri with throttlebody spacer and mine doesnt touch.

I'm not sure I follow. I don't think there is any factory tubing that is pushing the radiator hose up. It's barely touching, but it's not really something I want rubbing.

i just installed my sri yesterday and i was wondering the same thing as well. i just left it alone, its rubbing but not too much. should i be concerned though?

No I wouldn't be worried, it wont tear open the hose or anything. Just heat up the intake tube a lil when the motor is off. I've had mine for about 10K and its running strong still. Hope this helps!

Thanks. I was mainly looking to see if this was common. I mean, it's not the metal pipe on there, it's silicone on rubber, but generally you don't want water hoses touching anything else that could rub through or cause damage by scoring. I'll keep an eye on it, and maybe play with the angle or put some kind of foam spacer in there.
