Intalling an intake

Hey I ordered the HKS adapter and a 3" K&N filter but I wondered is that's all I need to make an intake?

I searched and it seems that I am gonna need to get a breather filter for the airpump, what's that?

Thanks!

A small filter that covers the hose that used to go to the stock air box from the air pump. You need to get a small filter with a 2inch inlet to cover the hose on the air pump, or the airpump can freeze up. Like $10 at any parts dealer. You might also be able to find one for a lawn mower that could fit...

Ya I used some screen from an old window screen at my house already Or if you don't need the airpump you can just remove it and save some weight.

I think the airpump helps with emmissions.

After many hours of searching, I found it on vaughnc's engine bay.



It's like the intake's little bro.

Well it cools the catalytic converters down first off. And in the series 5s(89-91) it helps open the aux. ports(5th & 6th ports).
