I just installed an intake system in my car, at first i had problems with the service light fixed that. So i took it for a test drive and i was going about 3500 rpm and released the throttle and i heard a loud pop. After the car would accelerate, im trying to tighten the clamps. Any Suggestions???

 

One of your intercooler hoses popped off. find it and retighten.

Very common problem.
.

 

or if the car is still running correctly, the loud pop is normal... its your bov recirc'ing air back into the intake. is it happening if you rev hi then just let off ?

 

Thanks im gonna try it, by the way, I have a greddy bov type rs i was tightening the bolt and it broke off could i fix that???

 

I hate to be "that guy", but do you even know what a search button is?

here's the short and sweet:
remove head from butthole.
remove aftermarket intake from car and reinstall factory box.

you apparently didn't research the modification before you did it.

I'd guess you're running too rich off-throttle to cause that pop, but intakes typically cause you to run too lean. Intakes are KNOWN for facking with your MAF sensor readings, which can cause all kinds of problems. If you really really want to keep it, get it tuned by a professional. And next time do lots of research before you go bolting parts onto your engine!

I doubt it's a hose popping off because just the intake won't increase boost pressure.

 

the pop was loud and right after the car didn't want to accelerate the most was 20mph

 

ahhh ok then sorry.. the original post you said it would accelerate.. i doubt the intake had anyhting to do with any hose popping off, most likely a coincidence.. but still, i'd highly reccomend a tune if you decide to keep it.

 

in that case you blew an IC hose off....

to help with the smart ****...

adding an intake is fine if you reset the ecu, yes you still need a tune to reap the benefits but it doesnt hurt. also, it does not increase boost pressure but does cause the turbo to spool quicker, which doesnt matter because you can blow an IC hose off without any mods. unlikely but possible.

to support the rest of us smart *****... search before asking questions, this question has to be referenced a few hundred dozen times on this forum

 

now what about the nut on the bov? can i fix that?

 

the nut or the bolt ? if its just the nut... should be easy, go to an auto parts store like napa, and find one that fits, take the bolt all the way out and match the threads... if its the bolt... can you get it out ? is it stuck in or broke and wont go in ? if its broke, will have to call greddy and see if they can send you a new one or take a few shots in the dark and try a few places that may carry such things... not the easiest of tasks....

 

get t-bolt clamps if you want the ic pipe not to blow off again. The stock ones don't hold well but are ok for stock.
