i recently got one of these, and i have a Type r.. and was wondering is there a difference between the comptech intake for the type r or the other trims? OR should it fit all of them?

i tried putting mine in but there is like no space at all to put the horn through and the lower part of the icebox through either

 

You have to play around with it . Mine was a very tight fit, but after putting it in, its sits very nicely.

 

well.. i have a pic of my intake.. and is there like a intake for a GSR and a different for a ITR? Because.. i think i might have the one for a gsr?

 

The arm may be different from gsr to itr since the intake manifold sits differently. The box part *should* be the same.

 

ohh ok, so the only thing that COULD be different is the intake?
the lower piping for the icebox wont really fit in the space that its suppose to go through, is whats making me question it..

 

The box/snorkel is the same for all Integras. The intake arm differs from ITR to GSR because of the different stock intake manifolds. GSR's arm bends down. You have the non-GSR arm. You're good.

<--loves his Icebox/Intake

 

oh, hey doespike, was it hard getting the piping to fit through that crack with that wire? because mine doesnt exactly fit through..

 

Do you mean the a/c lines are in the way? For my mugen in take I had to gently FORCE the lines out of the way, lol.

 

yea i think its the ac lines.. its like 2 hard lines? can you bend those and itll be fine? haha

 

You can carefully bend them slightly to make some clearance, but don't get carried away.

 

i looked again and it looks waay to cramped to fit the piping in there... is that how yall's look too?

 

you have the right stuff the mugen intake is even more harder to put in
since the piping is alot larger than the comptech looks like a 15min install

 

I put the box in first and came from the bottom of the car to put the snorkel part in.

 

^^^
I would think that this is obvious...

To the OP - I remember that it took me at least good 5 minutes to get the icebox in place the first time I did it. Now it's a matter of seconds.... and no you don't have to bend the AC lines.

 

do i litterally have to FORCE the piping in there? geez haha

 

You may have to unbolt the bracket that holds the lines.

 

what the hell? lol, how come you guys have the ac lines over there? oh yeah, lhd...

 

My Comptech Icebox was a piece of cake on my 97, though I do not have A/C.... Good or bad?

Good luck, looks like you barely have enough room to squeeze it through.

 

You have to twist it in, temporarily remove coolant reservoir, etc. It takes no more than 5 min. if done right. I did this on an a/c equipped 95 GS-R, which has the huge ABS unit and all too.

 

if i buy this for gsr in eg would it ft still?

 

I always have loved that intake... looks very factory but yet much cleaner than the factory unit!

 

X2
i have this airbox on my R too, you might have to loosen the A/C line a bit to let it move more freely, but there is pretty much only 1 way to get it in. drop it straight down and twist as the lower portion leaves the engine bay. the air horn go's on after from the bottom.

thats what she said...

 

Yea i got it on awhile back.. i guess the guy who does my ac moved the ac lines this time.. i got lucky!
And im loving the intake!

 

Is there any significant increase in power/torque wise?
