If anyone knows a site that contains the instruction on how to install the injen intake for the tsx, or anyone with the instruction that can post it on this site. Please tell me.


Thanks in advance

I'll try to post a scan later this evening. The copy isn't great though. I'll also try to get a decent engine pic and step through the instructions. Give me until late tonight.

Here's the easy way of what is involved.

Scans from the Helms Service Manual and the included Injen instructions.

wow thanks Lung Fu Mo Shi!

Now if you wouldnt mind wiring $200 into my bank account I can buy the CAI and start the install.

Lung Fu Mo Shi

No problem. Just PM me your ATM card number, pin...major credit card number, exp, name, pin (for identity confirmation) and you'll get a big surprise tomorrow.

damn that looks very complicated.....Do you have to remove the bumper?

CraZydudE

So what kind of tools do you need for this?

Lung Fu Mo Shi

You pretty much need to remove the bumper if you want to install the CAI. If you use it in SRI, you can leave all that stuff down there unconnected.

It's not complicated if you go step by step. It would probably take you 2 hours start to finish if you went real slow and careful.

I basically:

1) Took off bumper.
2) Removed resonator
3) Removed piping
4) Removed airbox
5) disconnected all hoses to stock airbox/hose
6) Removed unnecessary ones
7) Rerouted thottle body coolant line
8) Installed CAI mounts
9) Installed CAI tubing and adjusted
10) Attached vacuum hose (and others)
11) Attached filter
12) Replaced bumper

See...12-step program. ;P

My advice, do it on Saturday with no commitments all day. Don't rush it.

The hardest parts are:

1) Not dropping the bumper
2) Moving all those hoses...some of them were hard to get off.

Lung Fu Mo Shi

I used:

1) Socket wrench
2) Old thin flathead screwdriver covered in electrical tape (for clip removal)
3) Philips no. 2 screwdriver
4) Needle-nose pliers (to help with the stock hose clamps)
5) Flashlight

Again, thanks so much for your help.


By the way, did you install the CAI all by yourself? or did you have some1 else helping you out

CraZydudE

ONE LAST QUESTION!!!

will this affect my TSX's warranty?

Lung Fu Mo Shi

Did it myself.

Lung Fu Mo Shi

In theory, it should not.

However, if for some reason your engine dies and has excessive amounts of dirt inside, the first thing Acura will do it blame your non-stock setup. Otherwise you should be fine.

CraZydudE

ops almost forgot. Are there any differences between the polished intake and the black intake?

Lung Fu Mo Shi

Color? I think that'd be it, but I don't know.

CraZydudE

oh i see. Thanks for all your help man.
