trying to fit this thing on a cx. aiming for better mpg. its the fake j's whale ***** intake off ebay

1) it came with a lil strip of metal. where does this go? I know it's to support it, but how?

2) the tube that leads out of the intake, would be ok if it went in a loop? (as seen below)

This is these are the only pics I could find of it on someones car, and I don't see the metal strip anywhere??

</TD></TR></TABLE>it doesn't look like you would need any support...looks like it barly fits under the tower bar

 

connect that metal piece to the mounting spot of the air box.. .use one of those holes..

then connect the other side of it to the hose clamp thats holds the filter on... bend it and fit it in the hose clamp and tighten it down a lot so your filter does not fall off...


as for the hose it does not matter...

good luck

 

I left my whale ***** just hanging. It's so big that i can't find a way to support it. Girls like it tho.

I know that tube is used to vent vapors, right? I just wasn't sure, if it went a in a loop, if it would hurt anything.. thanks again.

 

hey whered u get that intake from? how much did it cost u?

 

same here i just let my ***** hang in the bay since its so big it doesnt move much

 

^God damn, did you not read? lol

 

Are you talking about the PCV tube? If so, don't loop it, it's there to vent crankcase pressure. I personally ran breather filters.

 

Did you paint it black? I'm going to use some paint stipper on it..

 

"hey whered u get that intake from? how much did it cost u?"

i found one for 96 civics going for 24 shipped!

 

what do u call those? i typed whale ***** on ebay and nothing showed up..

 

hey sorry to thread steal, but I've been wanting for one for my cx..... does it fit with JG intake mantifold??

 

as long as the hose dosen't fold or kink the loop will not matter

Ahahah, just look for something like "racing intake"

i think the ticket for having a "modified smog device" will run you much more than the amount of $$ you're going to save from getting better MPG.

then again, you'll wind up using more gas anyway with the intake; more air = more gas.

do you mean this metal strip???



if thats the one then the side w/the hook goes under the clamp along w/the filter and the other side you just bent it to a close spot on the car and bolt it down. mainly try to use it to keep the intake piping off of your a/c lines so that it wont rub them and cause a hole or something from wearing it down. anohter option is just to cover your a/c lines with silicone where the intake pipe would sit on it so that it wont do any damage to it.

Type in "Fat TUBE Intake"

As for the bracket, **** that ****, all I did was strap it onto the TB and plugged in the line from the valve cover. I'll take a pic of mine after work
