Need help installing eventuri intake

[Emira123]

I’m trying to install the intake and when I get to the part on their “how to” that says to remove the “loom” from the airbox, I don’t understand how to do that when the loom is zip tied to the stock airbox. Can someone show me a video of this? Every video I’ve seen they skip over this part and eventuri doesn’t really show you how to do it either.

If I remember right, the loom is zip-tied to clips that pry off just like the instructions say. It's been just long enough that I can't exactly remember now. Can you post a picture of them?

The loom has clips that are zip tied to it. Those clips slide onto tabs around the air box. You may have to pry those clips open a little because they are designed to push in and bit against the tabs.

In my experience, it's a bit of a squeeze but get rid of the rubber coupler/hose going to the throttle body.

This will give you room once you undo some bolts, or split the air filter housing to move things and you can get a bit of wiggle room, as you unclip each of the loom fixtures you'll get more and more room.

The airbox itself can be a bit of a game to get out itself. There are probably a few other things you could remove/loosen to make it easier.

Sorry don’t have a picture as my car is at my garage now but it’s the black rope that is ziptied around the airbox. So basically I just use brute force on the plastic clips and pry it off?

When you say “unclip”, are you meaning that you just pry the plastic part off with a flat head screwdriver? Is it the same as taking off the MAF sensor? From what it looked like when I was in the engine bay the loom piece seemed like you need to take the zip ties off to remove the plastic pieces but it seems like that’s not the case?

You pry them open so the little keeper tab inside of them clears the hole and they can then slide off.

The plastic “clip” is just a housing for a metal u-clip that bites onto the tabs. If they are loose enough they come out when you pull. If not, you need to open them up a bit by prying against the metal clip inside of the housing.

They don't really bite as well on the Eventuri brackets, but it's not going to really hurt anything if the wires aren't super snug, you could always zip tie it down if you are concerned
