installing cold air intake?

[jamesh23]

Alright guys im planning on getting either a cold air intake or sri or making my own haha. The stock intake is the black piping thats on top of the engine right? or wrong? could some people show me some pics of the cai or what parts I take off to install a cold air intake? thanks.

[A18A]

its the piping behind the engines intake manifold, you can use the stock pipe & a poddy to make a sri, you just have to chop the intake pipe somewhere.

[jamesh23]

whats a poddy and please elaborate.

[lostforawhile]

I googled "poddy" and this is what I got the file name is "port-a-poddy" http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3250/2416575427_5449719aa4.jpg?v=0
how you would attach this to your intake i have no idea,but the methane boost must be good for horsepower

i think hes saying a "Pod"dy as in a Pod intake filter.

EFI, I have a filter cuz I was gonna attempt to make one outta dryer hose... (yes stupid i know)

[ghettogeddy]

short ran is the easyest and if you did any searching well at all there is a sticky for a diy cai

[lostforawhile]

it would be better to get some silicone hose,and put it under the bumper corner. you are sucking hot air there. mine is baffled and pulls in air from the hood scoop.

well sorry but I did do some searching and no do it yourselfs came up, if you could point me in the right direction id appreciate it. and how do I take off the stock intake and stuff?

well you ahve to find a wizered in the land of oz then he will wave his magic wand and give you the power of sight and then you will clearly see the 2 10mm bolts that hold the filter to the intake mani then a screw driver will fall out of you poop hole and you will see that on the intake opening you ahve to remove a clamp then just ripe everythign out lol its not roclet science also i suggest you buy a haynes manual or dl the shop mani


http://www.3geez.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=20 how to section im sure you can locate the cai diy from there

you can find the shop mani here

[ghettogeddy]

you dont

[jamesh23]

ok well I removed the battery for easy access to bolts and screws, I took off all the black tubing that goes from the box with the drop in air filter in it, took that out, than I unscrewed the black box with the drop in air inside of it and took it out too, so im lost... fuck.

so whats left spounds like you got it all

you just need a cai tube or sri tube and your done

[lostforawhile]

you can get cold air intake tubes cheap on ebay, you just have to mod them a little, or you can search and get some silicone aircraft hose, you can find it used on ebay, it transmits less heat then aluminum. put the air filter in the big area under the bumper corner.

oh I thought I messed up lol

im just going to the local autozone and buy a sri tube and attach it to the specter filter I bought, but what about the drop in air filter? its no longer of use? so now I just attach the sri to the spot where it shows in the pic? off of the pgm thing above the engine and buy a little filter to put in place of the hose?

yes but make sure you keep you stock setup the one from auto zone liek mine will not pass smog idf you have to do so they are not smog legal

[jamesh23]

I cant thank you guys enough for all the help you have given me, one last question in the pictures below, the small filter coming off of the engine, whats its purpose? I detached the hoses that were in that spot before and they have some oil on them, what do I do with that pipe? just leave it there and attach the small pod filter?

That should be fine the small filter is a breather for your pcv system.

I just wasted 80, I bought a sri from autozone, a 3" pod filter, a coupler, and a mini breather, the breather wont on, there isnt enough room, the sri is too long and I dont have a hack saw.

[ghettogeddy]

go get one lol there like 5 bucks at home depot

[lostforawhile]

[jamesh23]

the guy from autozone let me borrow a tool to cut the pipe, and the breather will fit if I push it hard enough and use lube haha, but there isnt room cuz it hits wires and a bar.

[ghettogeddy]

looks like the same one i dont see why it wont fit

[jamesh23]

it just will not go on, idk why.

[ghettogeddy]

will ti not go in the pipe if so take the ring off and lube the pipe up it will go lol

[codyJDM]

Just stick a steak knife in the end of the breather and spin it around til it gets bigger and fits. Thats what I did.

I did that but it still only gets about half way down the pipe, so I stuck it halfway down and clamped it real tight

what should I use as lube?

[ghettogeddy]

anything really some motor oil just a lil bit soap and water
if you have some pb blaster that will work as well

[jamesh23]

The sound our motors make with any intake is sick, super loud and aggressive. Glad you got it done. Pics!!! :cheers:

[2ndGenGuy]

Nice work man. You're not dumb, it's just a learning experience. You'll start picking things up quicker as you learn more.

[jamesh23]

ya I can only notice it when I step on the gas kinda hard, lol not floored but not when you accelerate slowly either. and Ill try, tonight we all have a beer in celebration lol jk, :beer: I just wanted to put that face, but thanks a lot guys seriously.

[OldSkoolA20accord]

well you ahve to find a wizered in the land of oz then he will wave his magic wand and give you the power of sight and then you will clearly see the 2 10mm bolts that hold the filter to the intake mani then a screw driver will fall out of you poop hole and you will see that on the intake opening you ahve to remove a clamp then just ripe everythign out lol its not roclet science also i suggest you buy a haynes manual or dl the shop mani
