i just took it all out and disconnected the long skinny tube up at the firewall. it is a vacuum line so i plugged it and all seems fine. i saved EVERYTHING in case i did it wrong...but so far so good!

Good call on keeping the 'thing' plugged in - any idea what it does?? i opened up the other 'thing' that it was plugged into and it had another throttle body in it....my gsr, accord, civic was never that complex!!
hey - when you painted your valve cover did you just take it off clean it out and paint it without changing the gasket - or did you have to change the gasket?? i just painted my intake tube wrinkle red and want to do the valve cover as well - however, i'm leary of taking it off...don't wanna mess anything up...what about torquing the bolts - i've heard horror stories of overtightening...do you know the torque rating??

i'll take some pics when i clean my engine bay and do my valve cover - then it will hopefully be exactly what i'm hoping for. BTW if anyone is ever using VHT wrinkle paint the best finish is when you put it in the oven at 200 degrees farenheit for 45-60 min. the wrinkles comes out as close to oem as possible!!

Alright I just bought one of these:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...159219467&rd=1
I'm installing this on a 1999 2.3. is there anything else I need to do that isn't listed in these instructions. In the instructions that came with it, it says some accords have a air intake resonater valve that has to be plugged up..
Do I have to worry about pluging anything up or can I just pull everything out like in the DIY and install the intake connecting the one vacume line in my car?

AEM V2 Intake install
Estimated Time: ~1 hour
1. Here's your engine bay, if you've got a 2.2/2.3 CL. Start by lifting up your hood
2. Next, remove this little piece of plastic, it should pull right out.
3. Disconnect these two pieces next.
4. Remove this cover with a screwdriver.
5. Remove the stock filter next, it should pull right out.
6. Next, pull this piece out.
7. Then, carefully pull out the plastic plugs under the wheel well in order to access the stock air box. Be careful not to break the plugs. The wheel well should allow you to pull the air box out easily. It makes it easier if you turn the wheel away from the car as shown in the picture. If you are installing a Cold Air Intake (CAI), then leave the wheel well open, if you are installing a short ram or V2, go ahead and close it up with the plastic plugs.
8. Next, remove this piece of plastic piping.
9. Then rip out this piece.
10. To finish, plug the rubber piping into the intake. It's the only thing that attaches to the intake and there's really only one place you can put it.
11. Next, clamp the intake to the engine bay as shown at the top of this picture. A screw/washer combination is usually included and attaches to the forked spot on the intake. In this picture the connection is partially covered by wiring.
12. Viola, there you go. Reset your ECU if you like by disconnecting the battery for about 10 min, or just leave it as is and your car will adjust in a couple weeks.
If you are installing a Cold Air Intake (CAI), install the piping as indicated, then attach the filter which sits inside the wheel well. The intake feeds directly into the hole where the old filter sat atop.

in the circled red area you took a bolt off of the old intake, put a bracket there and bolt the bracket down. it'll hold the intake up. but my bracket is a little bit too long and i have to move it to the side because the battery is in the way.

But If you could explain it as if you were to a 5 year old, that'd be great.
