Intake
i have an opourtnity to purchase an intake off a guy for cheap..i was wondering if there is a general installtion guide for a 1992 civic on how to install this part due to the fact that it doesnt come with instructions. i think you have to remove the entire air intake system now to add this one on but i want to make sure so i dont screw anything up. any help would be appreciated.

Installing an air intake is a very straight forward task. All we need to do is remove your old intake system (arm, airbox, etc) and bolt on your new one.

short=short
cold air=long
the hole that that thing under the bumper(resonator) left when you took it out is used to let a cold air intake suck air from outside the engine bay. a short ram sucks air from inside the engine bay hot cold which is better for the engine.....right cold air.....but does it rain often where you live....prob snows too
is two HP worth a potential hydrolock i think not

Re: (cmck_12)
no it should have a coupler to adapt the intake straight to the throttlebody if it is a complete intake ststem. there are companys out there that reuse the stock rubber intake arm but i doubt you have one of those

ok...it isn't nearly as hard as you're making it...
1) loosen clamp holding stock intake tube on throttle body; remove the tube
2) Remove breather hose from intake tube and valve cover. It uses 2 clamps.
2) remove stock airbox; it's 3 bolts in plain sight.
3) jack up passenger side of car; remove the wheel
4) take off part of fender liner. It has a few screws here and there, nothing major
5) I think you need to remove the splash gaurd, but I'm not positive. Like the fender liner, there's a few screws in plain sight.
6) Unbolt resonator. I think it's 3 bolts, too.
7) Attach new pipe to throttle body using a coupler and 2 clamps. Mine has a since mounting point using a screw that goes to one of the places the airbox was bolted to.
8) Attach breather hose leading to valve cover
9) attach filter using a clamp
10) screw fender liner and splash gaurd back on.
11) put wheel back on, lower car, tighten lug nuts
12) You're finished. Drive.
If that doesn't help, I don't think much else will.

That's what I thought, but apparently not. I didn't use instructions with mine, and I was fine. It really is intuitive. If you can't figure it out, you shouldn't be modifying cars.

Look at tube.
Think about what needs to happen to remove and install.
Do it.
