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.

 

what type of intake is it? cold air or short ram, what brand etc.etc.etc

 

there is no name on it but i can tell you it is 28" long and has a cone filter on the end..if that helps at all.

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.

 

ok but the piece under the bumper that is connected to the intake..does it matter if i rip that off?wut exzactly does that piece do??

 

it is a resonator it makes the stock intake quiet
you can leave it if you have a short ram

 

also...for the piece that inserts into the stock intake..if there is a piece of pipe on the aftermarket intake does that piece just plug on there? also wut does this piece do?

 

wuts the difference btw short ram and cold air and how do you tell which is which??

 

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

 

ok thx..anyone answer the question for the post above that one?

 

i dont think anyone can cause they cant understand what you are saying.
say it slower

 

its like a tube that goes into the intake tube leading to the throttle body. what is this piece?and secondly, if the is a metal pipe sticking out of hte new intake i am getting, does this piece insert onto there?

 

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

 

it isnt the complete intake..it is used and it is just a 28"tube and cone filter on the end.

 

is the tube curved at one end?

 

not really..if you tell me how to post pics i will. it has an s bend kind in the middle but not really bent at one end.

 

ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh can you PM me

 

For the metal piece, I think it is used to secure the intake to the frame of the car.

 

no i dont think that is it because it is round and like a tube...but if it isnt for mounting it how will i do so??

 

goddamn its an intake install look at some *******,pics ****

 

i tried..thats wut i originally asked for..i searched before i posted too.

 

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.

 

Or you could just pop your hood and look at the intake. Pretty self explanitory. Good luck

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.
