Screwdriver and air filters. Oh yea a couple of wrenches too. Zip ties also and crakcase breather vent. power commander and dyno session couple other things I can't remember.

 

Do you have any pics of the set up????

 

What are you asking for? :dontknow:

 

I want to remove airbox and use filters underneath the gas tank. I know that there are quiet a few plug ins as far as wiring goes and want to know how people bypassed the fi light from coming on when airbox is removed:dontknow:

 

Rather than try to explain it, here's how you find it.

Click on the Search link up top, then type in "pod filters". Include the quotation marks so it finds both words. There's two or three good threads in there on it, and some have links within the threads.

I also have which K&N filters it takes written somewhere in case it doesn't show them in any of the threads. The one by JC has some really good info in it or the sensors, but basically you just remove them from the air box and attach them somewhere under the tank. None of them measure flow, they just sense air temp and ambient air pressure. The idle speed control valve just uses the air box as a mounting point.

If the one by JC doesn't show up in the search, look in the Step by Step board for a thread or two by him titled something about permanent air box removal.

See if this works for the search:

suzuki engineer i believe put that there for a reason.............just my thought..
GOOD LUCK

 

I know that there is a thread or two out on this, I will see if I can find it later tonight.

 

Why?

If I remember correctly, removing the air box makes the intake really loud, causes a FI light and loses HP and TQ. With lots of dyno tuning, you can get it to makes 4-5 hp more but less TQ. Not a good mod for a cruiser IMHO.

false. it makes way more horsepower a little more torque than say a tornado intake with a good 2-1 pipe and dyno tuned PC3. what it does is shift the torque curve up some, still making more torque than before but at slightly higher rpm and the curves are nice and straight no dips. the noise is not noticeable esp if you already have an exhaust mod. no FI lights so long as everything is left connected, just wire tied to the frame since the ugly box is not there to hang them off of. be careful around the front cylinders Throttle body when putting the filter on it because it is easy to get the base of the filter up against the linkage for the SDTV that Suzuki Dual Throttle Valve. the extra butterfly up top that the ECU controls uses that linkage to open/close the valve via stepper motor and if you jam the linkage you will get an FI light and possibly burn up the stepper motor and they are not cheap. the other mod done in conjunction is to ditch the secondary "flies". your choice, some like them in, some out but no difference in out and out hp, maybe a wee bit more mid range but either way it will need completely different dyno tuned maps for "in" or "out". :bigthumbsup:

 

Steve thanks for all of the info but i think that this is going to get really complicated. I thought that i maybe would be able to fabricate something that would allow me to hook up a filter straight to the throttle bodies. I will have to look alot more into this before i make a decision. Do you have any pics of your mod. The thread showed the steps but was unclear

Oh yeah, don't post a hp numbers, because you may get kicked and lashed etc.
