**take off the wheel... sorry**

Well, i put on my AEM intake (non V2) and I had to take off the wheel to get the plastic wheel well guard thing off so that i could put the filter on. The V2 filter is in the same spot so i am guessing you would have to do the same. Or you could take the bumper off, but in my opinion that is much more difficult.

no u do not need to take the passenger wheel off....

on the V2...

nor the CAI

Hobo

the v2 you esp wouldnt have to since the filter sits in teh engine bay...

Acura2.3CL

my fault, i thought the filter was in the same spot as the CAI

i cant remember if the resonator fits out if you remove just the fender liner enough. who cares though. take like 5 mins to get the wheel off n e ways.

Skoon21

well i guess i'll just find out tomorrow morning!! another question... other than disconnecting the battery is there any other things i need to do... i though i read someone say that you need to reset the ECU?? if so how??

DanMan1464

turn on the car, and dont rev

let it run for 10-15 mins

then HAVE FUN!

i did it on my car, and i saw when my guy installed it..

the instruction that was in the v2 box says u need to take the wheel off, but he didn't take it off and just installed it..

u can do it by urself easily..

my guy did it for me when he changed my rotors w/ axxis brakes..

Skoon21

yep... had to take the wheel off... was easy... just took more time

ghost_masterCL

oops.. I revved right away after I got mine installed. I ahve a 3.0 though. Should I disconnect the battery? wouldn't that reset the ECU?

Skoon21

yeah.. i hear to wait 10-15 minutes after reconnecting the battery and starting the car... so thats what i did, and everything seems to work just fine

ghost_masterCL

well, we didn't even disconnect the battery when I got it installed, so I think I'm gonna go disconnect it tomorrow, for about 20 minutes, then reconnect, then drive around a bit without revving it for abour 10 miles. that should do it.

Skoon21

u should just disconnect, reconnect a few minutes later start the car and let it sit for like 10 minutes. if you are driving around, the computer won't know what the hell is going on.

ghost_masterCL

ohh.. I thought idling for extended periods of time was bad for the car. I geuss I;ll just do that then.

Skoon21

i wouldn't worry about 10 or 15 minutes... you'll be good to go

ghost_masterCL

heh, that reminds me. one time in my old car, you could take out the key from any ignition position, adn the car would stlil run, adn I let my car, locked it, and the next mornign I went outside and itw as still running . I felt like such a dumbass, but Iw as HELLA tire the night before. I pretty much passed out when I hit the bed.. like Im about to in 10 minutes.

Skoon21

lol ya its 4:00am here... IM OUT!!!

u don't need to remove the wheel u can just pull the resonator out without taking the wheel off just turn ur steering wheel to the left... that should do it.

ghost_masterCL

well, if you turn your steering wheel, there isn't enough clearance, or a good enough angle for removing it from the well. It' s easier to just go in from the underneath of the fender well. save a WHOLE lotta time.

Skoon21

the resonator drops out of the bottom of the car no problem... it was getting at the bolt the connects the resonatorthat was the problem and the reason for removing the wheel... if the bolt was in front of the resonator (like the 1st bolt) removing the wheel would not be necessary... but it isn't... so i had to take the wheel off. i guess you could just remove the air box and install the V2 but the resonator would still be in place, thus defeating the purpose of getting a CAI in the first place
