- While removing factory components, it’s
important to note the IAT is very sensitive
and can be damaged easily. We were careful
to move it to the side until we can reinstall it
later on in the process.
3. Moving ahead, we removed the push
pin that holds the washer fluid tank to the
radiator support. This will allow clearance
for the JLT Performance heat shield in the
next step of the install.4. Next, we dropped in the heat shield. It’s
made from ABS plastic which blocks engine
heat at idle and low speeds. It uses a large
area to assure the air filter has a surplus of
cool air.- Using the supplied push nut, we
secured the heat shield on the stud.
Then, also reinstalled the push pin to the
washer fluid tank.
6. Moving along, we next installed the
silicone reducer to the throttle body using
the supplied clamps.
Then, we fed the JLT rotomolded plastic
intake tube through the heat shield
opening and clamped it on. Twisting the
elbow and tube together was required for
the proper angle.
Next, we gently reinstalled the IAT sensor
into the side of the JLT plastic intake tube.
9. Lastly, we installed the custom-built and
designed S&B air filter. It has a built-in bell
mouth for super smooth and fast airflow
and benefits from large, 1-inch-deep pleats,
which increase surface area. It was fastened
down using the supplied clamp.10. With the CAI installed, we could move on
to upgrading the factory PCV with the JLT
Performance oil separator. The first order
of business was to locate the PCV hardline,
which runs across the intake manifold.
Applying
a gentle
amount of
force, we
separated
the hardline
from the
rubber ends.
Pliers may
be needed
to release
the rubber
seals on the
connections.
Using
a 15mm
wrench, we
removed
one of the
upper water
pump bolts.
