How to Install an Open Air Cleaner on a 305 TBI | Third Gen Camaro Project | Episode 33

[@RakMPVet05]

Finally someone explained it in detail!!! Answered my questions! Thanks bro.

[@beardedreviews]

So glad I could be helpful for you!! I never saw any info like this in video form, so I figured I would just make it

[@michaelhyatt4171]

This was exactly what I was thinking of doing on my 92 RS, and is the exact kind of video I was looking for. I did a few hours of research but couldn't find any on what to do about the PCV valve, or the sensor on the underside. Thank you!

[@beardedreviews]

Yea I was in the same situation. That's why I ended up making the video. Mine's a 92 RS also!

[@cecilsabourin9462]

How about leaving the stock cold air ducting ,just using a taller air cleaner and flipping the tin cover ,exposing the cleaner ? Best of both worlds and nothing to remove or replace other than the filter and your PCV remanes active.

[@Tippinonthree]

You dont understand how bad I NEEDED this video!!!!! THANK YOU!!!!!! You earned yourself a subscriber

[@beardedreviews]

I needed it too. That's why I decided to make this, for others like me who needed it :)

[@kentuckytim4443]

It would be really interesting to see a video of one of these cars dyno’d with these two different air cleaners installed.

[@beardedreviews]

I'm doing a really cool mod to it next episode. Will be doing a temperature test. Not necessarily dyno but could indicate better performance one way or the other

[@Bluntswithbobross]

@@beardedreviewsdid u ever put out the results of that test? I couldn’t find the cidoe

[@andyjr8703]

I used to come for the beard oil reviews and now since I have a 92 Camaro I come for the car's "how to" one stop shop!

[@BradBurnett-z2b]

Thanks for the video, currently finishing up a project that sat for a while and i needed help identifying vac lines. Went from 305 to 350 but had to shelve the project for two years, and forgot some things in that time.

[@beardedreviews]

awesome!! Glad my video was able to help! Did you go to TBI or TPI?

[@Black91RSCamaro]

The tube and filter you are replaced is actually the Positive Crankcase Ventilation filter. The actual PCV, pollution control valve, plugs into the front grommet on the passengers side, on the front half of the valve cover on my 91 Camaro RS. I am actually considering doing this mod but I have 2 1/2 inch cowl induction hood so I may go with a slightly taller K&N filter element and K&N X-treme filter lid to pull in the cooler air from cowl induction hood. My car is about to be finished being painted. I'm hoping to get it back next week. I subscribe to your channel and check back often. Can't wait to see what you have in store for your next vid.

[@tooflysean9001]

Very helpful on removing the stock open airs IAT, thank you. Mine has been unplugged for a year & some not days, I have a hard start & have to wait for the vehicle to cool down hopefully this is the problem

[@henryadriel001]

I love the old reviews videos 🥺

[@beardedreviews]

I'll do more. I just get busy with the car stuff sometimes :(

Yea that's why I made it. Couldn't find the video anywhere

[@jeffreymclaurin9411]

First time subscriber. Thank you for the awesome videos

[@shane581e5]

Did this yesterday.. definitely helped. Check engine light is on. Is this because the vacuum sensor is capped now?

[@joshandseb]

Thank you so much for the clear and concise video however I'm waiting for your creative solution for the cold air vs warm intake video.

Yea I figured out I was going to have to wait until I did my engine swap. Doing a TBI to 350TPI swap here soon

Plz help where did you get the pcv valve gasket from

[@seresamgala8125]

Just the info I needed, many thanks!

[@stargazingdemigod]

Do you have to drill a hole for the sensor in the back of the air cleaner or can you bypass it?

[@Loaf-h1s]

I saw the link for the push in breather but is there a different one used ? Can’t tell

[@Aceman597]

Just bought a 92 convertible with no air cleaner . Thanks for the video. Mine not starting good cold and has high rpm on idle. I will find that air sensor now and get an air cleaner .

[@adventureslim4016]

How the 305 tbi i need a video on where the the vaccum lines lead too

[@v8ryderzautoclub113]

Nice video imma change mines tomorrow 🤝🏾

[@kamranetemad4968]

Great detailed install.thank you.

[@joshup1275]

On my 1991 I left the stock filter n everything I only put a filter lid by k&n so I guess I still kind of get cold air by the snookel

[@beardedreviews]

Yea that would probably help!

[@antonioreyes2692]

To help keep under hood temperature low, you may consider doing the hood vent heat extraction louvre project with a mesh…

[@beardedreviews]

Yea I have considered that. It looks interesting

[@SkiiMoneyCustoms]

Can I do this on a 1994 Chevy bubble Caprice

[@bfhobby1240]

I did this after I put my 4" Daytona Cowl Hood on my 92 RS 305

[@BadAtGamesFR]

Is there a way to bypass the IAT sensor? Or do I HAVE to drill out a hole for it

[@beardedreviews]

I'm sure you could bypass it, but the point of this video is to show you how to do it properly without bypassing anything

[@KeithHarty]

Bearded Reviews, on this video at 4:34 you mention that you did not use the grommet that came with the push in breather that you linked. What grommet ended up working? I am undertaking this project on my 92 RS and acquiring the parts/pieces. Thank you.

[@beardedreviews]

If I remember correctly, I used the exact grommet that was already in there.

[@KeithHarty]

@@beardedreviews Thank you for the rapid reply. Love the videos!

[@Aerozona23]

Can you do a video on all the vacuum lines for the car? That would be very helpful

[@beardedreviews]

Yea I could do that. That's actually a really good idea!

[@davetesky4217]

So you dont have any suction to your pcv system then so your blow by just smokes under your hood and get sucked into the cab by your fresh air vents ?

[@beardedreviews]

yea. keeps me in touch with the outside world

[@lurkbot13]

What do you cover or plug the valve cover hole with after removing the cold start (dryer hose looking) hose?

[@brianroscoe6212]

Wondering the same thing!

[@ashleyharris3473]

What did you do about the hole left in the manifold from the hot air tube?

[@beardedreviews]

I just left it open. It's not like a hole that created an exhaust leak. Just a secondary hole on a piece attached to the manifold

[@ashleyharris3473]

Damn. Ok. Aesthetic wise I don't like the look of a useless open port. Was hoping there was a way to close it without getting new headers.

[@ashleyharris3473]

Still waiting on the video of the air inlet hose though. Previous owner of mine had kind of a ram air set up channeling air from below the bumper tubed up to the factory air cleaner. I have a vented cowl hood. Think that would help with air flow?

[@jasonhumphry5836]

@@ashleyharris3473 I'm running a duel ram air cleaner on a 1986 cutlass 1996 dodge 2500 van and gmc sierra 2002 and it does work for a little more power I'm running air ducting of 3 inches feel free to write me if you need any more information peace and much respect to you Jason a oldsmobile man who uses ram air on any vehicle that I can make it work P.S. on fog nights and days you can see the air being sucked in fog is like the poor man's free nitrousoxcide

glad I could help man!

[@DARKELLAKEL]

Will putting a KnN filter on my carbed 305 make it any faster?

[@beardedreviews]

hmmm. That's debatable. I honestly have no idea, but my guess would be no. I just learned to be happy with the power my 305 had.

[@bjohnson5521]

My caprice ran really bad when I put this the open filter on

I have a 91 camaro Rs and it already has an open air filter. But it won't pass smog. Is tnere anything i can do to make it pass smog emissions without having to put back the original air filter?

[@beardedreviews]

I don't think the air filter would have much to do with smog. That would be the backend of things. The stuff that comes out, like exhaust

[@AcePlayzB03]

Hey man not sure youll see this but do you have a link to the drill and that size thing you used to drill the hole into the air filter cover for that sensor at 7:15 ?

I just used a standard dewalt drill and the bit was from harbor freight. It's called a "stepper bit"

The pipe on the passenger side valve cover is NOT a PCV valve. 😂 It’s not a valve at all. It’s simply a breather. The actual PCV valve is on the drivers side valve cover.

[@beardedreviews]

Yea I probably misnamed a few things. I get names of things mixed up sometimes. New to car stuff lol. Just learning one day at a time :)

[@myrongaines5542]

I think this does more harm than good. Hot air getting sucked in no bueno

yea it's a trade off, more air but hotter air. I explained in my led blinker light how I planned on getting around that

[@charliepasco2272]

Easily another 100 HP. Lol. I think Our engines get too hot for those types of air cleaners. You could delete the vapor canister And run a cold air intake right behind driver headlights. I really should finish watching the whole video before posting comments.
