Default skunk2 intake manifold installation?

I need some directions on how to install this on my 97 civic ex coupe... General directions for a 5th/6th gen civic works too.

Installing a manifold is kind of like a memory game. You take it apart, and put it back together the same way it was.

Then maybe you can search for them next time. Here's a really good writeup on installing a BLOX (much like S2) manifold on an integra.

remove clips, hoses, wiring, throttle cable, gas lines. etc from the stock manifold. since you have not done this before make sure to remember what went to what thing on the manifold. (color code tape...write on tape etc)

after you have done that then remove the nuts that connect your intake manifold to the motor. once the manifold is out switch the parts over from your old intake manifold to the s2 one. everything! dont forget the rubber bushings from the fuel injectors. you dont have to take anything off your throttle body, just unbolt it from the stock one. if the gasket on that one is broken, buy a new gasket or use hondabond. remove all the other sensors from the intake manifold (be very careful not to strip screws! BE VERY CAREFUL!!!) take the TB bracket and also place it on the new manifold. dont forget to put the injectors and fuel rail. now that you have carefully swapped over parts. time to install it! HOPEFULLY you got a new intake manfild gasket aswell, or else you will end up with leaks. put it in and hopefully you remembered what went to what.

You should also drain your coolant before you start disconnecting the hoses. It'll save you a big mess.
