i am in the middle of installing a cia and not sure what to do now the lower half of the stock intake tube has several tubes and wires going to it what do i do with them

 

what kind of wiring. all the black plastic stuff thats connected to your intake take it all out so, there will be a big hole for your intake to go through.

 

i am talking about some sort of hoses and an actual electric wire that goes in to something that is attached to the arm coming off the main peice of the stock intake

 

are you talking about the hoses near the throttle body, but on the intake?

 

rip all that shit out. as u will find out all that crap goes back to one vaccum line up by the firewall that needs to be capped. as for the electrical connector. undo it. that is the A.I.R. system and isnt needed. RIP IT ALL OUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and then ur car will look like this.



oh yeah u dont have to disconnect the coolant line from ur throttle body. u can just use the stock pieces which include the hose going from the top of ur valve cover ( the 2.2 VTEC cover)
to ur intake for ur new intake. ill prob switch back to that only cuz it looks neater. wish i didnt waste my time changin that. its completely unecessary and u will spill engine coolant all over the place.

 

so i don't have to mess with the colant thing at all

 

just take all the black clunky peices out .. theres a wire or 2 that dont connect to anythin .. if i remeber correctly

 

ok now i have it in right i think but i have an extra peice or two one is an extra hose and another is an extra foam peice are these ok extra peices

 

yes u dotn use the foam and u should have one xtra hose if u didn;t replace the coolant line on the throttle body. ur done!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! just reset ur ecu and enjoy. u can do it by pulling the fuse or disconnecting ur batt for a while. then just start up the car and let it warm up normally

 

thanks
i have a problem now with a stuter around 90 miles an hour i am guessing resting the ecu will solve this if not please help i did intsll the bypass valve too

 

thats ur prob. you dotn need that crap. unless u drivie trough 1ft deep lakes and puddles its all nonsense. i havent had a prob in 3 years and i drive in bad t-storms all the time and on the highway. unless ur a moron or ur car is slammed on the ground u dont need it.

 

I have a friend that has a integra type R yes it is a real one and he sucked water into his engine so i just wanted to be careful. So you are saying my bypss valve is opening causeing it to stuter

 

dont know if that is it exaclty im just against the bypass. AEM scared so many ppl into buying them that it pisses me off. especially at $30 a pop. did ur friend tell u how he managed to suck up water? theres really no way for water to get to the cai if everythign is right unless u submerge it. anyways if i was u go to a auto parts store and just get a rubber hose connector like the one supplied by aem on ur throttle body and slip that on in place of ur bypass. aslo where did u put the bypass? there is a certain spot. i think its no more than 1ft from the end or somethin like that.

 

i took off all my wheel wells in front and i drove in pretty heavy rain with my aem cai with no bypass and nothing went wrong.
