Just received my SSI today for my Automatic Sport!! The friendly customer service responds within 24 hours for emails. Thanks H-Fit

Removing the stock box was much more work (especially the breather tube!) than installing the SSI.

Instructions were detailed enough for any beginner to use. Although I should point out some extra tools you might need are an 6-10" extender tool for the 10mm socket wrench, and as for the phillips screwdriver used to loosen the clamp for the throttle hose, the head size is between a #0 and #1.. I couldn't get the screwdriver to fit it so I just managed to pull the box off without loosening it

As others have mentioned, you don't notice the awesome loud roar until you are above 3k rpm. I did notice a little improvement in early throttle response.

One thing I noticed was the weak throttle response around 50-60mph. Even when I stepped on the gas the response was pretty weak, until I would downshift. Keep in mind I have a Automatic Sport.

Do you think this is something that the ECU is trying to learn to optimize? Or do you think something is installed wrong?

Other than that, thanks to the members who made my decision on the Supa Sucka intake rather than the Fujita SRI.

EDIT: Everything working great now! I checked the installation and everything seems to be correct. When accelerating quickly from a stop, it will stay in 2nd gear up until the 5k rpm hits (which gets the SSI to roar really loud!). I like. I like a lot :-p When driving conservatively, its nice and quiet yet it gives a more responsive throttle. All in all, this was a great purchase!

 

I do not think you did anything wrong if you followed the directions. No check engine light? You might want to try resetting your ECU if you haven't already! Hope this helps.

Hello,

Thanks for the great response on our intake!

The only thing I would suggest as previously noted is to reset your ECU by removing the negative terminal and stepping on the brake to discharge any capacitors. This will allow the ECU to return to the OEM base map and learn the parameters for the SSI. All maps should re-learn in a few days driving. Just remember that you have to have your radio code!

Thanks again!

Can anyone tell what I'm doing wrong?
My intake is to far to the right, I can't get it any closer to the left, its
jammed the way in the throttle body connector.
THe intake rubs on the hood, and so does the filter. And the hood pole and radiator cap are also in the way.
I had to take off my battery cover, so it won't rub against in the intake, and move the battery to the right.
The bracket the intake came with is to short...

 

Jimmy-
There had to be a customer service phone number for H-Fit printed on your instruction sheet. I don't yet own this intake- If I did, I could answer your question, but I don't. NO ONE ELSE who has posted about their installation of this product has had your issues. DON'T WASTE TIME waiting for an answer here- call H-Fit 1st. thing tomorrow.

The answer is "Yes, you are doing something wrong", but what that is, I can't tell you. H-Fit can.

 

Hey Jimmy101,

Sorry to hear that you having some installation issues. Let's see...the first thing I would check is if the copper breather tube is fully inserted in the rubber grommet. I would also check if the intake (throttle body side) is properly seated in the hose coupler. If these 2 steps did not help, I would try this: Remove the hose coupler and clamps. Place the SSI against the throttle body, and see what is pushing the SSI outward. Feel free to email us at info@h-fit.com if you have additional questions. Thanks!

BTW, the blue paint looks good!

Gonna persuade the wife about this! I just spent $1K+ worth of wheels/tires/spring/mats/electronics, I don't think she'll be happy about this. I've owned this car for 7 days now and I keep digging deeper in my pocket. How the hell did I get myself into this?! The worst thing that can happen is she'll say "no", right? I'll come up with an excuse that the upgrades are not as expensive as Dinan parts from my previous 540i. Yeah, yeah, that's right! I'll use that! Who the hell am I kidding! Screw it, James I'll be purchasing your SSI sometime this week. Great product by the way from what everyone is saying and customer service!

 

My coupler is well placed, the intake & throttle body are almost touching inside the coupler. I did bend the pipe in the back so the intake will fit.
I read the instructions carefully!

What I need to do is move the intake down,so the filter and intake doesn't rub on the hood.

And move the intake to the left so it clears the hood wire.

But then the bracket will not be long enough or at the proper angle...

I guess it will not clear the radiator cap by looks of other peoples photos, but I can live with that.

I will see what I can do, and post more photos.

 

Well, I've tried! It just doesn't fit very well.
I'm an automotive do it yourselfer and no stranger to installing intakes.
So I made my own Supa Sucka Ghetto bracket:


Well, I move the intake down, so it doesn't rub my hood liner, but
then it started to rub the water hose bracket underneath:

so I trimmed the tips off the brackets.


It should fit now, I'm currently repainting the intake due to all the rubbing
marks.


BTW:
Is this just a breather hose? its not connected to anything?
and the tip is clogged with grease...

 

I'm sure this is a silly question but as you can see i am noobish, anyways I am really interested in this intake, but since my wife wanted the warranty, will it be void if I do this install? I also want to get the skunk2 exhaust to finish out the combo, but I just wonder if anyone had any thoughts or suggestions?

 

It shouldn't void your warranty.
You can easily swap your stock intake back in!

But it make take some customizing to install the Supa Suckers intake...

 

that tube should not have anything in it!!!.

That tube is a "over heating draining tube" for the transmition. if for some reason the tranny gets to hot, that tube releases heat and pressure from the transmition.

 

Hey Jimmy,

Sorry to hear you are having such a hard time installing the intake. We have not seen this installation issue before. We are concerned about the issues you are having.

The intake should not touch the hood or any surrounding brackets when installed.

We would like to determine the Root cause for the problems you are seeing.

If possible, Could you measure 3 things for us.

1. The hose coupler length.
2. The length of the neck / tube on the chamber that is on the TB side.
3. The length of the long side of the bracket.

I want to make sure that these are all within spec. We inspect our parts for correct dimensions, so I want to make sure this wasn't an inspection oversight on our part.

Hope we can figure out why you are having this difficulty.

Thanks,

Congratulations to H-Fit, the manufacturer, and James, their rep. on these forums. These are "the good guys", and their attitude represents the behavior of good vendors.

In case you missed it, look above left at my alias- yes! It's me! Battling evil doers 24/7. If you are interested, compare H-Fit's reaction to this "possible but unlikely fitment issue", to K&N. I won't post the link, but if you're interested, look up the old thread "Warning! Do Not Buy K&N Typhoon SRI". This thread ran for SIX MONTHS with never the attempt to fix a possible problem that has been shown in 2 days by H-Fit.

 

I think I'm getting to old for this, but I'll go ahead and take my battery and intake off again.

neck: 29.1mm
bracket: 113.0mm
coupler: 53.5mm

 

Hey Jimmy,

Those dimensions all look good.

I looked at your pics and I think I have to agree with what Johnny noted in the previous post.

From the picture you have it looks like the metal breather tube is not inserted all the way into the rubber grommet. This looks like the cause of the interference you are having.

Try this.

Remove the silver clip from the rubber breather grommet. Then remove the grommet completely from the breather tube. We did not use the spring clip over on our vehicle, but you may leave it on if you like.
Insert the grommet into the SSI chamber without the breather tube installed.

At this point you can put the chamber back into position in the vehicle and install all couplers hose clamps and the original bracket. Install all hardware but do not tighten at this point.

The chamber should fit correctly without the breather tube installed.

If this is the case then we have found the problem.

spray some wd-40 or other similar lubricant on the end of the metal breather hose and insert it into the rubber grommet that is already in the SSI chamber. The breather tube should be pushed in to a point that the rubber grommet almost touches the bracket on the metal tube assembly.

From the pictures you have it looks like you have alot of that breather tube exposed.

Try this out and let us know if it works.

Thanks again,

H-fit team

Without the breather tube it didn't fit.
I took the intake in and out many times.
But now with my ghetto bracket, battery cover,
and bracket trimming it fits w/o rubbing.

 

James,
I apologize if this question has already been answered, but this thread is gigantic- I may have missed it-

Is your intake system CARB exempt? After more than a year, the K&N SRI intake still is not CARB exempt. Please let me know- a purchase is contingent on your answer. Thanks a lot, and Merry Christmas!

 

hey manxman

Currently the SSI is not CARB exempt.
We have done some research about getting the chamber CARB approved, but have not gone forward with it just yet. There is quite a bit of paperwork to submit on our part and there is also testing required by the ARB in order to obtain approval. Being that we have been busy working on new product, we have kinda put the CARB approval on the back burner for further review.

Thanks,
