Intake

**BoredRec** · 06-12-2002, 04:29 PM

Here's a pic of my custom intake...it's a lot like 88LXi68's, but I moved my battery to the trunk.

Should I paint it? Or leave it boring silver?

**TeKKnoTeKK** · 06-12-2002, 04:57 PM

**‹^› ‹(•¿•)› ‹^›** · 06-12-2002, 05:00 PM

I did read the how to... But it's for a del SoL...Just wanted a Lil idea of what I am getting myself into....

**BoredRec** · 06-12-2002, 05:18 PM

So what if it's for a Del Slow? I used it, and obviously it works...don't let car names slow you down...just replace the word Del Sol with the word Accord...works out pretty good.

Those are the instructions I am using..But I have read diffrent post on the size of piping to use...I want to keep it as original as possible ( aem )... Just curious to know what size of piping u used 3" or 2.5

**BoredRec** · 06-12-2002, 05:42 PM

2.5...AEM makes the filters and by-pass valves for 2.5, 2.75, and 3" so you can use any of those diameters.

**TeKKnoTeKK** · 06-12-2002, 06:14 PM

I would definetly go with the 2.5", you will get better air flow that way. The people that have used the 3" have said they wished they would have got 2.5"

**‹^› ‹(•¿•)› ‹^›** · 06-12-2002, 06:34 PM

2.5 it is.....Hopefully I can get started on purchasing the materials for the project.....My bro-in-law & I are gonna do it.....After we finish mine..we are gonna make one for his 92 eclipes.....I was thinking of taking all of my money ( which is alot ) and start my own lil retro company...Let me check my wallet....tick tick...yep 10 bucks sounds like a good start!!!

Making the intake is fairly easy. The hardest part is cutting the pipe. The angles don't have to be exact since the hose clamps will cover all the joints anyway. Just get the angles as close as you can. An angle grinder with grinding wheel is also helpful to smooth out and fine tune the cuts. I would also not recommend anything bigger than 2.5" pipe. I had enough trouble getting the 2.5" tube through the hole leading into the fender. I don't EVEN know how you would fit a 3" pipe through there.

Any body can do this. Just take some time and patience and it will turn out great.

I added a forth piece on my intake to extend out from the throttle body alittle. That's the only thing i did differnt from the instructions on the how-to.

Later y'all

DUDE!! TY for the advice!! every lil bit helps!!
question!! where did u ge ur pipe from?? the addy given by the del sol group? and also what was the model number for the pipe?

**BoredRec** · 06-14-2002, 01:50 PM

Yeah, I think that page said to get it from JCWhitney...I used the supplied part # and it worked fine.

As for the whole to get it behind the bumper, I just used some body shop tools (sheet metal cutter on a air hammer) to make the hole bigger.

WHICH ONE??
I DON'T U CAN PUT A CAI FROM A CIVIC ON AN ACCORD!!!
I KNOW U CAN MODIFY A SHORT INDUCTION SYSTEM BY SHAVING OFF 4' OFF!

**LxiCoupe** · 06-22-2002, 04:15 AM

I have an AEM CAI but i also have a Hiper flowshort ram intake.. so I might be using the two to make one for my accord. Dont know exactly how i'll do it, but i know there will be cutting !! I'll post pics when its done.
