Can we get a list goin of mods that cannot be done as a result of SAI? Is there a way around this bastard?

Tank07

lol ya there is a way around it...........just search "SAI" and "SAI delete"

use the search im an SAI as well..........thank you ******* cali

not trying to be a bastard but youre asking what you CANT do when you have SAI, but i see from your mods you have a header. i thought that if you had SAI you couldnt get headers, and that was basically the only thing it hindered. so what exactly are you trying to ask if you already have a header.

If you have SAI you can't get a CAI no place for one of the hoses, And def no header for us SAI boys

you cant install a header without either tuning the CEL out, or driving with a CEL. Thats it. everything else will still work...

blackbolt89

thats what i'm saying, he opens a thread about sai when he claims to have a header. one or the other man and as for the intake. please don't say that. lol. i have SAI and an intake. all it took was literally one zip tie and about 10 seconds. i'll show you

not that anyone is gonna ask but its super easy to do, the only thing you have to watch for is the SAI getting close to the pulley. here's what i did. get a 1" filter from autozone then pop it on the end of the sai line (the elbow), turn the elbow facing up, now make sure the pulley is no where near the sai line, and zip tie the sai line to the screw that held the stock airbox in ( the screw closest to the passenger side). the end!

You can't run new headers. Intake is alright though.

Yeah I just put that in mods like a jack ass yesterday b/c i am supposed to make a trade for the header/exhaust system this weekend (not a bad craigslist find) I just wanted to see what options are for running this set up with the header as Ive heard about the conflict. As for the CAI, I am running a similar set up with a mini filter zip tied to the hose and tied down

you can, you just run a CEL. To the OP, I drove with a CEL for about 3 months due to my header before i got tuned. Everything runs fine. It doesn't affect startup at all, so you're good.

trasher

So you just cant run header w/o throwin a CEL, but you can have DP & exhaust? not much good in that w a restrictive ass header though...

I have SAI and have the ZZP header installed, ive been driving with the CEL since July....I know someone that works at a place that does inspections and he said as long as you delete the code before inspection ill pass. Usually when i delte the code it wont come back til the morning after so i should be fine. SOmetime in Spring after my iinspection i plan on getting trifecta tuned so im just going to delete the code for good then.

blackbolt89

i was just wondering if anyone knew anything about the aeroforce interceptor, i know it's a scan tool but can it delete codes? like if i wanted to go with headers and i get the cel would it be able to scan it out? like permanantly? if so then i know what my next mods would be FULL exhaust

^ it doesnt remove codes permanently, it just clears them. they will turn back on unless the problem causing the CEL is resolved.

blackbolt89

ah ****. cause i want to bypass the SAI on my headers and get full exhaust but i dont want to have to result to getting it tuned out or having a cel. =[

You can do anything you want to an "SAI" car.

ust know that unless you get a reflash or tune, youll set a CEL for the system. /thread

well put maven. thats what im lookin for

i just put a header on my car last night and i dont have a cel on forgot to mention its a 07

blackbolt89

do you have sai? or just saying you got a header?

cause otherwise you wouldn't get a cel with headers. lol

blue 2.2

ya i got sai and it didnt give me a cel

HunterKiller89

iTrader: (1)

^^ give it a day or two. Mine didnt the first time either...

blue 2.2

ok i did you take off the sai pump when you switched header or did you leave it on

blackbolt89

well if you got a header the sai does nothing for you right now. its just dead weight. take it out!

HunterKiller89

iTrader: (1)

i left it on for several months until i did my blower build. I got a code relating to the check valve on the SAI system (low pressure or something like that)

blue 2.2

then i would deff get a cel ive had the header on for 3 days now still no cel

^^ maybe you have a freak car? or the dealer reflashed an incorrect tune by accident? course that seems unlikely
