I'm planning on doing this soon and had some questions (now that it's been out for a while)...
1. I couldn't find any 1/4 Watt resistors at my local Radio Shack, would using 1/2 Watt 680 ohm work? Gadget's page mentions using 1/4 or 1/8 Watt...
2. I'm not planning on doing both sides, and will probably just block off the left side "tunnel". I like the stock look (symmetrical) of having both covers being the same size, which brings up using the Thunder Mtn bracket ($$$). Since this is a low cost project, I was thinking of making a new "baseplate" for the filter on the right side out of plexi (make it flat) so I can re-use the cover, but have approx 1 - 1 1/2 " of filter "breathing room" next to the engine. Has anyone done anything like this? (on the cheap bracket/baseplate for the filter element)
3. Again, it's mentioned on Gadget's page that the resistor should be a "temporary fix for pinging". Has anyone put in the resistor and left it, or have you ripped it out and put in a FI Module later on? Just wondering if there are any long-term issues with leaving the resistor on, or if I should plan on getting a module later on. (not planning on changing the pipes anytime soon, noise ordinance in Denver
)
06 Meanie, I'll be getting a K&N filter for this project...
