Ecotec intake mounting ????s + First posted pics
Monday, October 10, 2005 6:23 PM
Alright first of all I just recently got my cosmoracing intake. It has a bracket right before the last bend by the filter.


as you can see that bracket looks as if it will go right into the power steering resevoir. Also, the bottom of the intake hits the positive terminal on the battery. If anyone has any help that woulb be SUPERB!! Thanks. And here are a couple pics of me and my brothers rides I took real fast the other day.

I will post bigger ones later this week.








thats it for now. enjoy.

just drill a hole into the bracket below the power steering pump bolt that you tried to hook the intake onto. Thats what i did, if you drill out a hole and then attach the intake bracket to that it moves it down and away from the battery. I also had problems with hooking it directly to the power steering pump bolt by not being able to tighten the bolt all the way cause of the thick bracket on the intake. Hope this helps.

it sounds like you are trying to mount it to the wrong spot. Sounds like you are trying to mount it too high.

Here is a pic of my RK intake and where/how it mounts and lines up. Hopefully this helps. The bracket needs to bolt to the lower, larger bolt.

You can rotate the intake assembly downward so that the bracket lines up where it should. Just don't tighten the clamp on the rubber elbow until it is positioned right.
