I just received a Cold Air Return from ebay - here is a link for reference: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors...%3AIT

I checked the Chilton's manual and searched this Forum and another for the solution to my problem, but cannot find the info. Any help would be appreciated.

Onto my question: I am looking at my car, mentally preparing for the install. The new intake has one little stubby tube sticking out of it for a small rubber hose to be attached to the intake. Here is my problem - there is more than one tube coming off my OEM intake... the OEM intake is also more complicated, and has other "duct work" attached to it. How do I handle this? Anyone do this conversion? Can anyone direct me to pictures?

As my car ages and starts breaking down, I have been learning how to fix it - piece by piece. I'm a noobie, so my knowledge is a bit limited at this point, but hang in there with me, I'm learning. In other words, I may need the "dumbed down" version....

 

OK, I guess I overlooked this link: http://www.geocities.com/nbwp1....html in the FAQ. It is VERY helpful, but still doesn't answer my Q re: the little tubes, since the one in the pic has places for more than one tube. Any solutions/answers out there?

 

If you use the Search button flashing red in the top right hand side of the main screen you can look through archived posts dealing with air intake installs with pics and detailed info. Usually the second unused hose is pluged with a small piece of filter provided with the air intake( I think the extra hose is for V-TEC engines only) If you need some pics let me know.

i have a '91 accord- im pretty sure our cars are almost the same (same engine design diff. #s). Its been a while since i installed my CAI, but the slightly bigger hose you need to connect to your tube is part of the crankcase ventilation system. Just connect it to the little tube provided on your new CAI. I dont remember seeing anyother lines off of my stock intake.

the ductwork on the stock intake is part of honda's engineering. the theory is under acceleration the engine will switch between either of the two intake ducts, one with hot air i believe, and the other with more restriction or something like that. It just prepares the engine for more torque, or more horsepower. Your new cold air intake will just pull air from one spot so this wont apply anymore, and wont mess up anything.
