Short Ram Intake ~ MAJOR HEADACHE!

[9450erick]

1st get the old air intake out.
put the new 1 in.
reattach every hose u pulled off the original intake and plug the unnecesary outlets on the new sri.
done
dont disconnect any hose that wasnt physically attached to the old intake
the company probably sent u the wrong sri nd thats why u have 3 outlets. dont start putting random hoses in there just because
im positive u only need 2 of those holes
ur freakin out to much man calm down breathe. half of ur post i cant even read them there so messed up cause u were typing so fast. u confused me more

Rofl! Sorry buddy, damnn .. I just wanted to get the sri in asap cuz I was waiting all week to get it =P..

I'm better now, that one picture about the coolant doesn't work with the sri helped me out big time =] Going to goto Lordco to see if they have any plugs .. I guess I spent like 20 bucks on nothing meh whatever =]

Make sure that hole is sealed up good...

Because it's past your filter any sort of dust/debris/liquid will fly straight into your engine. Especially more so because the air is being sucked in...

Good luck tho man! Can't wait to see/hear it haha

Finally! I've got the SRI running, damn it sounds soooo sexy! Especially when vtec kicks in, damn its just a wonderful sound. =]

With the resonator removed and the whole stock intake taken out during my blackhousing.. damn sri runs sooo much cooler, it was heating up way too much earlier today before my black housing!

I'll try to upload videos onto youtube tomorrow, I'm done for the day, super tired!

Here are some pictures, I tried before and after .. before (page 1), after (last page.. this post):

Okay in this photo you can see the blue hose connected to the metal pipe.. its kinda of like bent in a way that air can still sweep through, but light the diameter isn't as great.. I don't know if that's good or bad, but like after running it for a bit today the heat weakened the hose and now its even more like bent so like there still is a mid size gap, but like more in a flat shaped than an actual circular .. let me know, btw.. its quite hard to fix the problem.. as well the hose runs down beside the battery then back up to the sri..

Give me advice, or should I just leave it.. I mean there's really nothing I could do about it .. short or long hose..

Get a hacksaw and cut that metal tube back a little bit, then connect the blue tube to the now shortened metal tube
(just make sure the piece of metal that holds the metal tubes together wont stop the hose from fitting on)
Also disconnect the other end from the valve cover - so you dont get metal filings in your engine / intake.
(I would blow air through the tube after cutting / filing to get rid of the filings - also after both ends are disconnected!!)
