I want to install my Mugen intake in my USDM ITR with A/C. I was wondering what is the best method for rerouting the A/C lines, so I can complete the install?

Any insight into to this would be much appreciated.

 

Searching, I found this thread:

No need to reroute....just bend Do eet gently.

yep, very simple.

 

I will have to try and split the A/C lines.... Thanks for the info. I wish the links weren't broken for the photos.

 

I put in my intake not to long ago. It was a pain in the ***.

I had to move the radiator out of the way for a moment to get that sucker in.

Its a tight fit and frustrating cause it uses up all the space. I was impressed how exact it fit in that area .

Indeed. I find its easier to build it from the bottom, up.

 

After the first time, as Walker said, it is sooooo easy. I have pics of how I routed the a/c lines I can send you through PM's if you'd like.. Like KKim's thread, my threads pics are no longer working.

Removing the A/C condenser fan and moving the radiator over to the drivers side is the easiest way to install. I have also found that under the car, near the middle of the radiator there is a bracket the holds the a/c lines. When that is removed it makes it much simpler to move the radiator and to spread the a/c lines.

 

mine went right in. move a couple lines and brackets and presto! no need to take radiator out, thats just making more work for yourself. its a tight fit but isnt that bad with a little bit of patience

Nobody said to remove the radiator. I am curious, did you remove the lower trannie mount to do this without moving the radiator over?

 

I didn't take the radiator out, just moved it over towards the left front.

Taking out the whole radiator

I left the tranny mount in. At the time I didn't have the tools to take that big bolt out.

 

I didn't need to move or remove anything except the standard airbox, the wheel and the ****-guard.

But your car is backwards

bleh

the A/C lines run on the opposite side of the car, but everything else is in the same place I thought?. It literally took about 10seconds of jiggling and it slotted right in. The longest part was working out how to install the little shield that prevents water getting into the intake duct.

Oh, and there was a small bracket that helps to hold the stock airbox, that came out also.

 

LOL, you spent the most
time on the easiest thing to install??? Besides, who really needs the shield?

the last thing I wanted was to hydrolock my motor because of 5minutes of laziness. shrug.

 

Mang, You'd have to submerge the entire snorkle in a puddle to accomplish that..... and a shield won't help ya there. Should help keep debris from getting sucked up to the filter in theory but I haven't noticed a difference with or without the shield.

 

I know what you're saying, but I just figured that if I've got the shield, may aswell stick the fugger on there

 

I thought that shield was pretty confusing too.

haha, that was my most difficult part too. trying to use the pics in the directions to see which way the shield goes.

BINGO!!!

Having just "removed" mine, it's all getting used to how it goes in there. Twist it this way, shove it that. But it works, and with AC.

 

I had the motor out of the car with made it pretty easy to install.

Thats cheating
And I install it for you after I went through all that AC crap with mine.
