I'm talking puddles large/deep enough to submerge your air filter in the water. So don't let that keep your from getting a CAI. _____________________________ JP 2001 Civic EX Coupe MT "Hokey religions and ancient weapons are no substitute for a good blaster at your side” (in reply to mybrokenblinker) Post #: 111

It should have been removing a tube to the crankcase and the IAT sensor, unbolting the intake, put the one on and re-install the hose and sensor. You'll hvae to use the grommet from the OEM intake though. What happened? _____________________________ (in reply to JAY1994) Post #: 114

RE: Intake FAQ - 4/3/2008 1:55:57 PM    JAY1994   Posts: 29 Joined: 3/22/2008 Status: offline No I didn't remove a gallon of coolant ,but when I received my aem sri the instructuctions stated that : 1.disconnect the negative terminal of the battery. 2.Let the engine cool for two hours. 3. Let about a gallon of coolant out from the radiator. - I didn't do number three because I didn't think I needed to. I didn't unhook the IAT SENSOR though is that bad????? By unhooking, I unhooked it from the stock air housing intake tube but I didn't unhook the electric plug from the manifold? _____________________________ -Anything Without a VTEC is like pissing into the Wind.- If it's tits or wheels, sooner or later your going to have problems.

Basically I brought a AEM CAI but it doesn't say for at or mt and I put it on my manual transmission will it hurt it because it mounted and fit great. _____________________________ -Anything Without a VTEC is like pissing into the Wind.- If it's tits or wheels, sooner or later your going to have problems.

RE: Intake FAQ - 4/7/2008 4:56:03 PM    FlipHKD720 Posts: 7589 Joined: 4/1/2006 From: Marquette, MI Status: offline yes it does. The intake might not fit around the auto or manual tranny if you ordered the wrong one. Make sure to get the correct transmission. I know this is a problem with some versions of the AEM V2. _____________________________ (in reply to JAY1994) Post #: 118

RE: Intake FAQ - 4/7/2008 5:07:26 PM    JAY1994   Posts: 29 Joined: 3/22/2008 Status: offline Well I got the AEM CAI for $40 from a guy who wanted 50(bargain) in town because it would work on his civic, so I already Installed and it does work, doesnt rub so if it's intalled I'm guessing that either it didn't matter for that year or I have a manual tramission model??? idk? The filter rubs a little on the front bumber which i is from length but am I ok I mean, its not too low? Also the piping fit hole lined up and bolted on so??? _____________________________ -Anything Without a VTEC is like pissing into the Wind.- If it's tits or wheels, sooner or later your going to have problems.

Congrats on the fitment though haha _____________________________ (in reply to JAY1994) Post #: 120
