I don't understand why you are making a NEW thread saying basically the same thing as the last one.

PM me when you make the write-up with pics and I will open this back up. For now I am going to close it because it contains nothing new, and is your 6th thread about intakes in the last 6 days.

 

Pics incoming, thread opened.

 

Thanks BOB!!!!

OK So a week or so ago I posted a way to get your filter into the fender with out relocating the battery. The only flaw in my set up was the crappy Universal flexable intake pipe I used, well I fixed that So I'm going to re-write the write up since I changed a few things. Oh and the reason some pics look diff that others is because a few are from the first write up.
Stuff you need:
92-96 prelude short ram-ebay brand works
94-01 Integra CAI
Hose clamps and couplers. 1for the tb 2 for the other pipes x2 for clamps
Sawzall or other cutting tool
Basic hand tools
92-96 Battery tray( you can mod yours but IDK what it will do)

Step 1: take your bumper off. Remove both fog lights and cornner lights, then remove the two bolts UNDER your bumper.

then remove the four screws holding the cornners of the bumper (in wheel well) after that remove the four 12mm bolts holding the bumper on and pull the bumper off.

Step 2: take out your battery and battery tray, aslo any intake setup you have currently, loosen the fuse box by removing the lower bolt and lossening the upper one.

Step 3: Remove the Coolant Resevour from the fender well. Set it aside you will reuse it.

Step 4:Use the sawzall or whatever to cut a hole where the battery tray used to be. Cut as close to the head light motor as you can.make sure the hole is big enough.

Step 5: Take the coolant Resevouir and relocate it to where the stock airfilter was, use the bolt holding the brake lines as a mount, then take the resevouir fill tube and cut it so that you have enough hose to attack the fill to the resevouir. Connect the over flow tube back up and you're done with that.

Step 6: Then take the 4th gen battery tray and cut the radaitor over flow tank mount off flush with the flat part of the tray, then cut the other end flush as well.

Step 7: Bolt the tray with the side that had the mount tword the starter. now you can only get one bolt in so make it tight. Bolt it in with the top left hole.

Step 8: Cut the prelude intake off above the first bend. The rest is junk. Remeber to plug the small vacume line that attaches near the TB. Then attach the prelude pipe to the throttle body.

Step 9: Cut the first integra pipe off right after the PVC thing is and attach that to the prelude peice, be sure to leave a gap in the coupler to alow for some flex.

Step 10.Cut the "s" shaped peice from the integra in half but leave the side that is angled a little longer.

Step 11: Attach that peice to the Middle one and aim it down the hole. It should stick down pretty far.

Step 12: Cram your filter onto the end of it lol...yeah it's a tight fit!

Step 13: cram the whole assembly against the strut tower bar mounts and wiggle your battery into place. The upper left cornner of the battery sould press in on the coupler between the middle and end peices. It'll take some feniss to get it in but it'll fit if you keep at it.

Step 14: Tighten all your clamps, figure out how to secure the battery (mines big so it's crammed in there) and reverse the process of taking the bumper apart.

In the end you SHOULD get something like this:

And that's it! Reconnect your battery make sure everything's attached and you're done! This isn't the easiest way to make some power but it's different. I take no responsability if you dick you your car doing this, so if you don't think you can then dont!

 

looks sweet man, i like the teg CAI better, but props for being inventive.

 

Awesome.. an actual CAI not fake integra ones... good mang...

Now get a nice filter and call it a day.

 

HaHA, At least the Teggy CAI isn't with 1 AEM pipe, and the rest EBAY.

Props on the work threadstarter

 

any better/clearer pic perhaps?

 

just paint the EBAY intake pipe the same color as the AEM pipe and no one would ever know.

 

Exellant stuff, i approve.

Mad props for inventivity yo

I'm putting a link to this thread in the sticky FAQ's in the intake section.

 

YAY! If I can get the moeny together i'll do a write up on DIY paint job

 

im doin this this weekend good write up

 

nice work man! finally a cai without a battery relocation......i will have to do this once spring gets here.:emthup:

 

thanks guys I spent ALOT of time thinking about this setup and I'm really happy with the way it turned out

 

HAHA So I'm more then pleased with it...I've also found that if you remove the two end peices and stick a filter on the first pipe, it's perfect for a rainy day. I'll be Working on a cleaner setup this spring to keep your eyes out. I'm also Thinking about turning the black hood bar thing into a functional ram air hood scoop. I'd build an alluminum box that holds a K&N filter and put the box behind the engine under the intake mani on the Cowl pannel...It will have a duct that will flow the air from the scoop straight down into the box, through the filter, out the outlet of the filter to a 90 degree elbow, up to the throttle body with some pipe and another 90 degree elbow...It'll be fun to see how it works out As soon as i get the plans drawn up i'll post em! CANT WAIT TILL SPRING!!!

 

dosn't this take in water??? i think it would... i had the speaker to my alarm there, and it got soaked... 6 hours infront of the heater.. worked again.. decided on a new place

 

I never had a problem?

 

more and clearer pics???

so to do this, i have to buy two different CAI from ebay to make one???

cant i just get a different CAI for a different application(car) and make it work the same you did but just buying one CAI??

i dont have much money

 

No, do the ludespeed cut out and use a 4th gen CAI, that's all.
