You can try get this CAI hose for RM60 without metal fastener at:
AME AUTO PARTS (PJ) SDN. BHD.
25, Jalan 21/11A SEA Park
Petaling Jaya 46300
Selangor.
(Beside CIMB Bank)

I just bought mine from there. It's a bit more expensive than where neosaint99 got it. But since it still have stock so okok lah... The stock one looked very nice in engine bay.

I asked the boss there he say still have some stock... He say if want more maybe need order (Since not in production dy means that's all left) Maybe can try there?

hmmm, if its not very expensive+courier to sarawak, then good lah. Or maybe i just buy those aftermarket CAI hose and direct it to the fender? effect should be same, no?

I got it from the Syarikat perniagaan ACR...
Same place where neosaint99 got it...

It's now 13.80 for 1/4 inch
and 21.30 for 3/8 inch
It's a 4' X 5' size...

Aftermarkets are cheap and effective also...
I had seen before a turbo hose which can extend to 2m long carrying price tag of RM40 with rings provided...
It's thicker and has larger diameter than those normal CAI hose... I think that's more worthy...

Just that ori one will look nicer cause it's shape can easily adapt into Saga's and Iswara's... You can try check the courier fees... If you're going for it I can try get it for you..

Do I need a fuse for DRL? Going to install DRL on my LMST with a switch for it but not sure whether a fuse is needed or not hmm.gif

I installed DRL and added a fuse for it... Check my blog, got example there...
I tap the power from radio fuse and added a fuse and switch before connecting to the DRL.

What fuse rating did you get? Any harm if I don't add a fuse? Besides excess current flow? hmm.gif

I put 10 Amp. This wiring is for my DRL and my vacuum gauge lighting... I'll probably add more gadgets like turbo timer and stuffs thats on keys at with "acc" position.

10 Amp is more than sufficient for these 2 devices and more... Such as extra LED strips... But not for Amps of course...

Basically wiring is...
(Tap Radio Fuse)---(NEW fuse harness and fuse)---Switch(s)---Device(s)

Then I just wire another device in parallel from the new fuse harness...


Adding fuse will protect your wirings in case of short circuit... Your DRL's won't get more current without fuse, cause it doesn't need that much current in the first place (Not like starter/amps all those which require significant amount of current)

Example, if I wired like below:
(Tap Radio Fuse)----Switch(s)---DRL
Lets say water did get into DRL/wiring got loosen and both wires got short together... Short circuit will occur...
But due to the circuit is not fused, the radio fuse might blow... Or the worse is the radio will blow... In serious cases whole wiring burnt... The damage could be excessive...
But if it is fused, the New fuse will blow instead, leaving radio fuse and radio untouched... I can easily give conclusion that the DRL is shorted or something wrong with it's wiring...

Therefore it's very important to fuse a circuit, the 50sen fuse might save you from expensive damages to your ICE/car wiring...

What if I connect the DRL in such a way tat when I on my lights, the i will be on too? I won't need a fuse right? Since they share the same fuse

Then you just need to tap the fuse from rear light fuse instead of radio fuse.
You can skip the fusing also if you want. Then you gotta make sure you tapped the correct "legs" of fuse. One side of leg is constant 12v while another side has no voltage if the fuse is not connected/blown.

MUST connect to the no voltage leg if you plan to skip the fusing. So that a short circuit will blow the rear light fuse, if not it will blow main fuse at the battery (If main fuse is available, if dun have then bye bye your wiring)...

Yeap, after market CAI can work too. Only slight difficulty may be getting the CAI to fit into the fender hole (it is square)...but I'm sure some creative solutions will be found smile.gif

But isn't there a bigger round hole also??? I'm thinking maybe use that hole instead of the smaller square one. hmm.gif

Oh yes!...you are absolutely right. There is a wire going through it, if my memory serves (cant remember what it is for tho). I made an insuflex plug for it. If the round hole is now used for CAI, then just make the plug for the square hole. Assuming the CAI duct is smaller than the round hole, one could make a sleeve out of Insuflex to hole the duct in place. If its snug enough, it will click in really well coz the rings of the duct will 'clip' into the rim of the hole biggrin.gif

Try to move the wire to run through the square hole then...afraid it will get pinched between the duct and the rim and ultimately get cut through...

Price did gone up a lot for the 1/2 inch one... Preferable get 3/4 inch one as can get nearly two of 3/4 inch for the price of one 1/2 inch one... The effect is slight improvement for door closing but kinda helps for high speed travelling...

DRL= Daytime running lights... It's to increase awareness for other drivers... like those 18 wheelers driver to see us when we coming out from a junction...

Rewire arr? I'm still afraid to touch on wires yet, cuz i dun have jodoh with them. Everytime i mess with something that have anything to do with wires or electronics, that thing sure gone haywire or sot sot or not functioning.
What is that wire for? Do you know where is it connected to? If rewire, mean i have to cabut the whole fender out to take out that wire right? rclxub.gif

Edited for spelling mistakes.

not sure off the top of my head...
will have another look at it tomorrow...if you have to take off the whole fender, then definitely not worth it
hopefully there is a simpler solution...lets see how it goes...else will have to put a thick sleeve or something around the wire where it will be rubbing the rim so as to avoid friction wear smile.gif

Puspakom is going to ban tints?....thats really crap man
if so, we are going to become like brunei
we live in a frekkin blazing hot country and we cant tint our car to keep it cool?...only 'special people'...a.k.a. the "elite" of the country (and i say this with the utmost sarcasm and scorn), will be allowed to tint?...
frekkin tyrannical dictatorship....only for itself...never for the people...

DIY installed the starter motor relay
most iswaras have this starter problem (when the key is turned, it goes *click*,...but nothing happens)...this relay totally solves the problem

DIY installed original proton CAI duct
this will give your car cold air just like the other hosing n all...but is much neater. Also, since its drawing air from the fender cavity, there should be negligeble spray n kick-up getting sucked in...this should keep your air filter cleaner longer wink.gif
cost: RM51

Bro neosaint99 very appreciated you effort to DIY for the starter motor relay installation because i am going to do this my 1995 iswara. U are the really DIY saga king and thanks again
