Intake confusion?
Hey guys...okay i wanted to know if i could by an air intake without a tune and the car still be okay until i purchase a tuner later on. Is this possible? I know brenspeed carries "no tune requires" intakes but i want one that can use a tune but just get the tuner/tune later on. Is it safe to put on a air intake without a tune?
2008 GT Tried using search but the results that come have nothing to do what im putting in. Help please. Thanks! |
the guy who bought CAI (which required a tune) had both his lean codes come on after installing it and driving it around. the car's computer had not been told to allow more fuel for all the airflow that the car was now seeing.

Okay so the intakes that say no tune required will still be "tunable" later on?

I have a BBK intake that says it doesn't need a tune, but it does.
I can't go over 3000 rpm without a CEL. I am about to put the stock intake back on until I get a tune |

I'm sure others will chime in here with their experiences....:) |
Some of those that have purchased "no tune required" CAI's have ended up with CEL's. Also, the no-tune required CAI's typically don't have a large enough CFM rating compared to those that require a tune such that, when you DO get a tune, you're not getting as much bang-for-the-buck.
A CAI w/o a tune is like sex with a rubber... |
^ hahaha okay i guess im going to have to wait it out for another month or so so i can buy intake/tuner. But now looking at brenspeed they have a tuner.intake combo for like 645 or something and then I'd have to purchase that 75 dollar email tune right. damn
|
The Brenspeed and Bama combos COME with 3 tunes at no additional charge. It's part of the package, already loaded on the handheld tuner. Read the info on the websites and you'll get a full understanding of how that works.

im pretty sure the airraid intake has a removable screen or something in the intake that you can take out once you do get a tuner. but if you leave the screen in it requires no tune supposedly
