Got My Civic Intake Now What?
Ok i got my short ram civic intake today and now i want to know what to do next. I know i have to cut 4in. off and thats it. I want to know if i have to do anything else when installing this intake since its not made for our cars.
Do i need one of those breather filters or not? If anybody can help me this would be great. Thanx

take all the stock intake piping off... and install the intake .. make sure everything is nice and tight... you dont need one of those little breather filters...just use the hose that comes with the intake

Don't just cut 4" off...measure it yourself by putting the intake on and cut the amount you need.
Well, be careful of what kind of air filter you will put on because some of the filters could really mess up your brake lines. About the breather, it's really up to you, but I'd say go for it cuz that's what I did.

here's a pic of my intake
see on the intake, it has that yellow tube coming out of it. And then on the valve cover ro the right of the oil cap, there's the black hose coming out of it. Well those two hoses connect in the middle. You can get a breather filter instead of having that hose, it's just a tiny air filter that goes onto the valve cover where the hose comes out, you won't need the hose if you get that. Personally, I like the tube better than the breather filter.
Well you couldn't really see much from the pic I posted so I went out and took some more, here's a better close up of the tube you need to put on from your intake to the valve cover
ok i really dont know what your talking about can u be more detailed because there r lots of tubes there see if u can circle it before like on microsoft word or sumpthin

lol its the yellow tube that is comming off the intake ... .. you could use a little breather filter instead of the tube ...but i like the tube better ....it goes from the intake to the hose that is attached to the valve cover
Jay

stick your finger in it. you don't have to do anything with it, you can put a little cap on it if you don't wanna leave it open, but you don't have to do anything with it.Originally posted by 89AccordLvr
what do i do with the hole on the intake
i would def put something over the hole to prevent any dirt getting in there.... any air that gets threw that hole wouldnt be filtered...put a cap on it or sometihng

buy the $8 little breather filter it looks cool.... Like a mini filter..

i just finished modding my pipe, and i just left the caps on it, it looks good, until i get a breather filter
can i loan you some mileage, i got enough to go around
use some gum...
It will look GHETTO but it will work. Until it gets sucked in. then you are screwed.
i put minez on about 2 weex ago, and i still didn't know wut to do with the vacuum lines, i just left them hanging there open, is that safe?
That's not good. You need a tube going from the intake pipe into the valve cover or a breather filter so you can suck air in there, it's a must.Originally posted by hoho1217

Yes that is an old pict of my engine bay but it is best to conect a longer vacume tube to your intake as you will not need to buy a breather and that way you can keep the pcv system intact the way it should be.
o nonono, hehe i put the PCV (PVC? i forgot) tube on, i know that one hehe.Originally posted by kicker1_solo

im talking about the vacuum lines that come out from the upper left part of the engine bay, 2 of those goes to my stock intake pipe.
Yea you should drill holes in your intake insert some grommits and attach those little tubes.
