Oh one other thing... I've read a few reviews that say you should reset the ECU for better mileage when you install SRI/CAI. Any truth to this?

 

As far as I know, you should reset the ECU after each mod you do to your engine...I think it alters maps a bit to account for the extra throughput

 

yo im a nother dreaded noob but please have patience i dont know ehere else to go for help anyway i just got a short ram intake for my 98 civic Lx and need some basic instrcution on how to instal anyone tht can help my aim is Tht1sk8rguy and my email is tht1sk8rguy@sbcglobal.net thx

 

I dont think its completely necessary to do it after every mod. It can't really hurt I suppose, but a CAI isnt going to change the miture THAT much. The ecu should adjust itself to accomodate the cai.

 

Just a question, which is better to get, a CAI or short ram?

lol........I think you better use the search feature for that one before you get jumped by 1000 HCFers.

 

Haha about the 10000th time i've seen that question but for original topic question probably 1 hour and no you dont need to take your front bumper off to install should be just a straight bolt on.

 

I just got my AEM CAI in the mail today, and this will be my first mod. So I'm with Auto here.... is there a DIY with pics out there? Any other words of wisdom before I start my very first mod. (I did change my oil and plugs the other day... I know pathetic... but you gotta start somewhere, right?)
