induction kit OBX
hello everyone,
has anyone seen a good set of instructions on removing the air filter on a 4th gen. prelude, on the internet?
i am abit of a novice when it comes to the mechanical side of things, but i would love to give it a go. with out having to pay a mechanic to do it.
just purchased an obx induction kit with a carbon fibre tube.
didn't find any info on the obx website so i thought i would ask here.

OBX... eee. Well I can help with your removal. There is a write-up on http://www.ntpog.org.
The pics are ofa 5th gen but the bolts are the same. It took me about an hour to remove my stock intake and 20 minutes to install with theese instructions.
The hardest part is removing that damn resonator and boring out your induction inlet (supposing you are running a CAI).

Re: induction kit OBX (wadespade)
it's pretty easy once u look at it...
take a phillips head screw driver and loosen the tube that connects at the tb. then pull that tube off the tb. follow that tube down and disconnect it from the air box. unclip the air box and take the top portion off along with the filter. next your gonna need a 10mm socket(I think its that size) and extention and there should be about 4 bolts holdin the lower portion of the air box down. someone else is gonna have to help you wit all the other parts because when i bought my car it was already gone.

If you start with "it's pretty easy once u look at it...

I can't remember Idid mine 2yrs ago.

Or... starting with (i had to because i have AEM cold air)...
Remove the front wheel, and remove the wheel well lining.
There are little phillips head scres and clips you can pry out - As well as remove a few of the splash guard bolts on the passenger side. With the wheel well lining off - you can get into the fender area behind the headlight, which is where the resonator box is.
One of the screws to remove the resonator sometimes requires you also remove the amber side marker light if you do not have the correct sized extension for your ratchet.
