what i started with




what i have done so far.


only for looks, like the cleaner look with no tabs. still got to add a few more goodies to it and it will be ready to get installed.

i was thinking about all plenums 2010 manifolds isnt it cheaper just make custom spacer underneath the stock cls intake manifold to get the gains ? explain what you gonna do with is and what is this and how much...

jl03CLS

is the hood going to close properly?

StreetKA

iTrader: (8)

i think it is cuz if take the plastic cover off there is some space to play with

Rajca

the part cost me $40. cheap, the exteded bolts from acura was like $16, but 7 of the 9 are on back order still. u will need to trim some of the hood brace. wont affect anything. or u can get it milled to a smaller size and not trim anything.

StreetKA, it's hard to even understand what you're trying to write. Take your time when you post and make it understandable english please.

The spacer is used on the MDX, Odyssey i believe. It's supposed to increase torque for those larger vehicles, but it's tight in the CL. You can trim your hood and raise the back of the hood a bit to help clear, or like Rajca said, machine the spacer down a bit. It measures 40mm (1.57").

CLsuperhero

so part #s I'm guessing:

2001 MDX spacer, intake manifold part# 17108-PGK-A00
9 extra long bolts to get it on.... not sure of the part number on that.

just a quick run down of parts and #s would make everyone happy for now.

you'll need one more IM gasket.

Rajca

iTrader: (8)

what u need
intake manifold space, part number 17108-PGK-A00
9 extended bolts, part number 95701-08105-08
another intake manifold to spacer gasket, part number 17105-P8E-A01

OR u can get the p2r thermo spacer

jl03CLS

did cleancl try this before? i like the idea. i love seeing small things like this that provide gains.

I'd be more worried about hood clearance.

Rajca

iTrader: (8)

I mentioned ur options above on how to make it fit.

i was interested in this mod too, but complicates things with sc.

shows great gains for just +/- $56

aznboi2424

not interested in raising the hood. what do you mean by trimming the hood brace?

gnuts

iTrader: (1)

^open your hood and look up. You'll see the underside of the hood has metal braces that run down and across it to keep it ridgid. You can cut out a section of the center brace that would be right over the intake manifold. And you can add spacer washers where your hood bolts to the car to elevate it a bit.

Rajca

For a few extra bucks u can have it milled 7mm, that how much the 3rd gent tl guys and 7th gen accord guys needed to clear the hood. Finding a shop the mill it down for u is ur job

gnuts

Rajca, when you removed the tabs and all that on the spacer to clean it up, was that just for looks? You could just leave them right...not like you'll see the spacer anyways. Why are the tabs there anyways??

Rajca

iTrader: (8)

I did it for looks and :ninja. U will see the spacer and it will be easier to change the injectors. U wouldn't need to take off the whole intake manifold

CleanCL

iTrader: (4)

go all out and get a p2r thermal gasket on each side. ;]

Rajca

iTrader: (8)

Don't think there is that much clearance even if u cut the brace. U would need lots of spacers, would look ugly imo

iTrader: (9)

Fuck the hood. You dont need it anyway.

richardparker

iTrader: (7)

Cowl hoods or cut threw's going to be coming into play soon.

Rajca

iTrader: (8)

Rajca

iTrader: (8)

civicdrivr

iTrader: (9)

Lol, took me a min to see what you changed.

But this Civic is hot:




And so is this Integra:



The motor is facing the wrong way, but still its nicely done.

Off topic succeeded

richardparker

iTrader: (7)

Any car with the motor sticking threw the hood looks bad ass.I've seen civics at the track like that but never a cl.
Who's gonna be the first ?

womey

iTrader: (3)

At least our intake manifold is pretty I've seen 6th gen accord guys polish the sides and paint the middle, looks really nice.

phee

iTrader: (5)

i have to disagree. i dont think that looks good at all. a nice bulge would look better

civicdrivr

iTrader: (9)

Rajca's not happy with me

Rajca

iTrader: (8)
