has any one here had problems trying to get there aem cai installed i could not get it in i think i might be due to the ac lines

 

just move coolant resivoir and use some man power

 

anyone know how to stopp coolant resevoir rubbing?......I've tried re-positioning it on the intake manifold and putting little pads between the resevoir and intake

 

AEM rubbing on AC lines is a common problem. I didn't have any trouble with mine, but plenty of people do. Just push them to the side and use a tie-wrap to hold them out of the way.

Bend the bracket holding the coolant resevoir.

 

Zip-tie the AC lines together, then use a pad between the AEM and reservoir bottle.

 

got it in thanks but i had a ram air on it before and i just took it for a test drive with the aem and the rpm seem to get to 8400 alot faster but vtec dont kick in like it did before any 1 eles seen a differace betwwen a cai and a ram air

 

I'm sure your talking about a short ram intake vs the cold air but if I am wrong please correct me. You want to have VTEC as smooth as possible not to have it kick in.

 

mine rubbed so bad that it put a hole in the cai tube... Get a sponge and tape it to the intake to prevent damage that i got

 

yup just as rated r said, thats what I did. Get a 1-sided sticky sponge and stick it on on the cai..

If the breathing components of your engine create a large spike when vtec engages, they are robbing your midrange. If the crossover is smooth, this usually means the modifications support a strong midrange, which is a good thing.

 

cool thanks for that bit of info
