hey guys

i am pretty much a car noob and want to start modifying things little by little and i have a 2002 honda accord vp. yes crap but it was a good deal so i dealt with it. i just bought an aem sri for it. is that going to cause any issues with the engine? because it seems like k and n and most other companies dont make it for my engine.

also i heard that it takes in hot air when idling. if i idled for a long time, and i started driving, would that cause any issues?

and lastly, anyone know where i can find a picture diagram for installation. this is my first mod to any car outside of speakers and headunits, and when i read the instructions, i got kind of confused. youtube has no tutorials for this year accord or the sri aem intake

 

About your Short Ram Intake question, no, it will not harm the engine in any way no matter how hot it gets. You'll loose power up top if you're going for power, but nothing to harm your engine.

I've ran SRI for years and have no problem with it whatsoever. 3" Intake Piping FTMFW!!

 

Well, you could have saved yourself some money and just got some ebay piping and used a K&N or AEM filter but no biggie.

Must not have looked very hard on youtube. This one is for the V2, but it's the same deal without the extra piping.

Frankly, the guy goes into a little more detail than necessary but it's for the 6th gen and covers all the bases. You don't need to remove the resonator in the bumper for the SRI unless you want to (I did just because I had the bumper off anyway).

Good luck!
