1. If I disconect the silver 'unlock' switch or replace w/ the LS door handles, will my keyless entry still work??

2. does anyone have step by step instructions on how to install the AEM CAI (pictures would be VERY helpful)

2.5 what's the best way to wash my K&N air filter (please don't just say soap and water, and how does to stupid thing come apart? or does it?)


...I tld you they were dumb questions....I did warn you.

Thanx for informative replies

 

1 = yes

yshi - who'll let others answer #2 & 3

 

Buy a K&N filtercharger kit...full instructions inside the box.

Austin

 

#2 - Buy a case of beer. Find a friend who knows what they're doing.

 

Question 2.

-remove four gold bolts holding in your stock intake box.
-disconnect intake box from intake arm
-using a phillips head, remove the metal clamp holding the arm to the throttle body
-remove the intake arm
-jack up car, remove fender liner on passenger front side and remove resonator
-move coolant reservoir aside
-put aem intake in, secure it onto IM with rubber connector that is provided
- bolt the intake into place with given materials
-using 1/2 inch diameter rubber hose connect nipple on aem to nipple on valve cover
- remove metal water line and use 5/8 inch hose to replace it
- connect filter to intake through the fender well and clamp it with provided clamp
-put everything back where it was.
-put your intake box and arm and old water line into storage and that's it

if you actually need pics to install this, then have someone else do it.

 

1) Yes ur keyless entry will work fine, but if you are replacing it, you are referring to the RS not the LS door handle bezels that do not have the switch. the LS cars do have the door lock switch. Jus fyi.

2) yes, i have a couple sites wit pics that show install, but i am not home so IM me and i will send u a link when i get home later tonite. ok?

2.5) K&N sells a kit specifically for cleanin their filters, and it comes wit the liquidy thing that you put on afterwards to act as an added barrier against smaller dust particles that might otherwise not be kept out by jus ur filter element. But i believe AEM even sells a similar kit, but i could be wrong.

Any more questions?

"if you actually need pics to install this, then have someone else do it."

AMEN!

 

like i promised here is one site wit pics that shows install

http://www.geocities.com/MotorCity/L..._installx.html

 

liquidy thing....funny, never heard oil called that

after reinstalling the oil pan bolt, fill your engine with 4.5 quarts of the liquidy thing
or
pour the liquidy thing on your girlfriend and rub vigorously

 

You mean oil?

 

I lost my instructions...but my friend was super nice and wrote me some new ones.







Hope this will help!

 

hey ... i only saw it once, and i didnt run it thru my fingers to see wat its consistency was like so yea, calling it a liquid was the best description i could give it. besides, i think i gave helpful info to the member who was askin these questions. don't you think so?

 

Yes I do. Thank you very much PDCDRAGON.
Although I did think the post about the 'liquidity thing on your girlfriend was pretty funny...

I think I will take the advice given by a few members and have someone else install it...I don't want to risk fuggin it up (i thought it was going to be easy...kinda like the written instructions shown in one of the posts, lol)

 

It really isn't that hard. I am sure one of the members here will do it for you if you supply the beer. If you are local I will do it.

OOPS! I see you are in Canada. But there are plenty of folks up there that can do it.

AEM provides instructions in the box. And a sticker

 

i'm glad my responses were of some use to you, but really consider installin it urself... if you were in socal hell i'd let u do it at my house and i'd help ya wit it... i did mine on my LS and my roomate did his on his gsr so you have 2 guys here wit experience haha.. and its one of the easiest things to do.. but IM me and i can answer any more questions u have...

 

You're forgetting the license plate frame.

 

I'll put my $.02 in as well. AEM usually doesn't provide Vacuum hoses that are 1)long enough or 2) the correct size. Yoy may have to go search for the correct size and length line to connect your valve cover and intake.
PS DONT BUY A BREATHER!!!!

 

For the Type R, the nipple on the AEM is positioned so we really don't need complete replacement vacuum/coolant hoses. The hose AEM gave me wasn't long enough so I just cut it short and attached it to the stock piece. Didn't even need to touch the coolant hose.

 

:fizzle:

Even my roomate with a blingin' slizzamed Civic Si wouldnt take it for his car

 

i did pretty much the same thing as surferx... seriously.. there is no point undoin the coolant line and having it spill everywhere hahaha...

 

I have short air on my car from a GSR. I dont think the CAI make much of a difference at all to spend that kind of money on an intake. It does look purty though.

 

why spend that kindof money for a hot air intake (ie short ram)???
when you could build something like this for alot less...

Here's a how:to on installing an AEM intake. Hope that helps.

I changed the coolant line and valve cover line because I felt that this would help in future intake changes. Which eventually did come in handy.

 

get an aem intake and throw on a blitz lm on teh end of it
