I'm new to the modifying world and have a question that's bothering me... I just installed an AEM short ram intake in my 91 Accord. I connected all the necessary parts from my car to the tube and so on... All of a sudden I noticed about a quarter inch hole on the right of the tube. I don't now if this is normal... I made sure all I could connect has been connected. But that hole looks like a drill accident or something... I would assume it's not good since the objective of the tube is good airflow..... a random hole in it??? Any answers to this?

 

A random hole is NOT good. At worst, it would let un-filtered air into the engine??

Ghetto repair = cover with duct tape.

Maybe it's for the crankcase vent line?

 

could you have possibly got the one that was designated for MAF sensor cars?


not sure if that would have a hole or not

 

definitely block the hole if it is not needed. You do not want any loose matter flying in there.

 

i dont really know if this is relevant but its kinda related...

when i installed my an SRI on my friends integra, it too has an extra hole but it has rubber to seal it..we didnt had to use that hole either...and honestly i dont really know what that was for...cuz i already connected everyhose from the stock intake to that aftermarket..

but like the others are saying...if you dont need it, definitely cover it...its not good to for your engine to have an unfiltered air...

 

i think the extra hole might be for running some NITRO or something but just plug it up.

 

dude..my car was doin the same thing...check out this site..it acutally works..i thought i wasa bunch of spam but they payed for my car to be fixed
