Cold air intake! help

[895spdforfree]

well after 6 months of being lazy im finally installing my 90-93 accord cold air intake in my 89 lxi! i have a question! im taking off my bumper right now and i took out all the screws, but it still isnt coming out DOH! i just realized theres some on the top of the bumper right under the turn signals, the corner ones, how did u guys get these (to the ppl who took of their bumper) did you take out the corner and then take it out of did you just break/ cut the bumper there? im really lazy and i dont feel like takin off the corner, so is there an eas yway of doing this, some pointers would be great ehlp

[snoopyloopy]

yeah, you have to take off the corners to get to those things. that or cut the bumper. those are the only ways.

dude thanks, how do u take out the corners, im lost i cant se any bolts!!! :Owned:

[reanimator420]

turn you lights on/raise headlight buckets, and look on the inside corner of the turn signal and you will see to vertical holes and those hole remove your turn signals with a phillips. be careful though they are probally really brittle and make sure you pull them foward b/c i pulled them off sideways and broke the plastic clips that hold them in place

thanks im gonna go try that now

[reanimator420]

let me know if it helps cause i know it will!!!lol

i've never had to take the corner lights off. what i did was take the bumper lights out, take the 4 large bolts out from behind where the lights go. take the screws out of the fenders where the bumper attaches, and then like 3 bolts under the bumper that are attached to the frame. i always just take the whole thing off because i've found it much easier than taking the bumper cover off. save time and hassle.

[BITESIZE]

Should be easy to do, mine was.

[895spdforfree]

well i got the corner lights off, peice of cake thank you all, now i need to make the hole bigger so my 3 inch piping can fit through, this is a pain, what did u guys use?

[BITESIZE]

A die grinder.

[mkymonkey]

wtf? 3" piping...daaaaaamn thats wy to big.



so how did it go?

[snoopyloopy]

make sure you coat the exposed edges to thwart the formation and spread of rust.

thanks man. Well i started at 3?.. i dont remember, so 3 hours to do, not knowing what i was doing, im proud of myself i guess

[MessyHonda]

thanks man. Well i started at 3?.. i dont remember, so 3 hours to do, not knowing what i was doing, im proud of myself i guess

good job man....i was about to say we dont have to take off the corners....i took off my front bumper and it was only held up by like 6 screws...the 4 on the bumper and the 2 bottom ones. and it has like lil clips on the side....so yeah how does it feel now....like you gained some hp?

[895spdforfree]

dude at first i took it aorund and i was like " fuck me fuck! this didnt do shit" then i let it idle for about 10 mins , (i dont know why), then like 2 hours ago i went out again and that shit hauled alot more than it did before. From like 35 mph up it pulls hard *ER* than it did, its still slow though. it pulls from 3000 rpms and up

mods (if you call them that)

-cold air intake
-4g map sensor
-ported throttle body

[mkymonkey]

you know why it feels like you did nothing? becuase you got a stinking 3" freaking intake!!!

[frantik]

^lol

3" makes a difference but only in the top end really.. like 895spdforfree (http://www.3geez.com/forum/member.php?u=5245) said it pulls past 3000. a slightly smaller diameter intake will give you more torque at lower rpms dude but im sure you'll like it once you get used to it

[snoopyloopy]

yeah, it'll pull more up top than at the bottom end. but looks good anyway. i only hope you plan to put a bypass filter on there somewhere. i'd hate to see your 3g downed by a puddle.

[895spdforfree]

ill get a bypass filter eventually..haha. ive drove it this morning again and its startin to feel even better, i need a new clutch to get the full effect though :thumbdn: :rant: o well, thanks again
