Celica Forums General Discussion Exterior Questions on Short Ram Install!

Hey whats up yall? I'm installing my Injen Short Ram Intake. I have two questions...I will explain them with the pictures provided. Scroll down.

Which one of these connectors connects to the slot shown by the other persons hand? In other words which one of these connectors connects to that slot, the blue or the black?

My SECOND question is where does the blue vacuum connect to? Here is a picture of the vacuum shown near the left of the picture..The Vacuum is circled!

I think it's the blue...

but for sure...

I'm pretty sure that you just take that off and plug the hole with the little plug that comes with the intake.

^^^^yep you dont need that

Ok, well, where does the blue connector connect, and where does the black connector connect? Which connects the the green thing? They are both shown here:

You connect the black one there. The blue one can just be taped up and zip tied somewhere.

the black one connects to where its circled in green... then you just zip tie the blue one somwhere... i wrapped my in electrical tape first so nothing would happen to it.

damn... beat me to it

At least we agree

Wow i'm not no injen intake expert or whatever!...But this
thread was very instructional!...Kind of got something our of it!...

What'd you get out of?

Ok thanks Everyone for helpin me out I will post pics in a little while..after 3 and a half hours of install time lol

it gets easier each time... i can do it in the dark in 20 mins now

I love the sound of it!! Almost sound supercharged or something, in a way

Are you serious? that much difference?
Dang~ I'm getting my Bomz SR intake wednesday. Hope it sounds just as good. But my cars a gt...

i just bought a injen sr, i hope it sounds loud too...

matched with a trd exhaust soon enough on my gt it should sound great... the trd intake sounds hella good right now

No way! that's what I was thinking of doing...
except i got that bomz racing short ram.
I'll probably get the TRD this week

sri sounds pretty good, around 3-4k where the trd exhaust dies out

Sweet!

Update on the sound since yall seem interested...
Whenever i start up the car and it idles, it sounds like a low growl (you can basically hear it over everything else in the engine)And i also have a Tanabe Racing Medallion Exhaust which the intake and low growl of the exhaust sound excellent together. Whenever you actually drive and go up on the rpms it makes a quite bshh sound, the higher the rpms, the louder the sound. Its not As loud as a turbo, but it makes a similair quiter, noise.
Whenever i shut the car down for like 2 seconds you can hear it go BSHhhh love it (thats the part that sounds supercharged)!!! Ill post pics when im through with the car show my cars gonna be in on saturday so it will look nice. Ill also show yall a little bit of my new sponsorship decals

I heard that short rams are bad cause, they suck up hot air from the engine bay Seems to make sense.

heat soak. when you sit on idle and start to go you bog a bit...but once you're going it's good.

as far as how it works...SCC was ablt to get their time down from 15.4 @ 1/4 mile stock to 14.8 with a RMM short ram and exhaust...not bad.

Is this like a CAI where I have to worry about water coming in? I bought this so it wouldnt hydroplane. Do those of you with short rams go out in the rain and not worry? I still wanna be able to drive in the rain without worrying about water comin in. Thanks

That's one of the reasons I got Short ram. I live in Florida and when it rains it pours.
No hydrolocking for me! yay...
