u remove it from under the thottle body but have a rag or something ready cause the coolant is going to come out of it and quite a bit of it. all the hoses that are on that one piece (the like double metal one) will be removed and replaced

Like he said, you have to remove that coolant line, but becareful. It may be hot and quite a bit may flow out. Also, it's fairly tight, so be sure it doesn't splash anywhere in your face. Wear glasses/visors if you have it. You need to replace it with one of the tubes that came with the kit.

Have the replacement tube nearby, because it'll be dripping loads of coolant otherwise.

Obviously the lower square points to underneath the throttle bottle, like the picture you attached before. The upper square is where the tube should be connected to.

oh and the instructions say to leave it in 5th gear (don't know why but if someone could explain that be great) before you tighten everything up.
i didn't, i accidentally left it in 4th, no reason jus was there when i went to turn it on after the install. test drove it after install and it shifts the same. drove to work last night and back and its fine.
however, i would like to know why it says dat

Drew303 · 06-15-2007, 12:37 PM

Finally got it done last night....Took it out for a drive and man its so loud, I thought I forgot to connect something! Somehow lost a couple pop tabs, and a screw, so I will have to buy a couple from work.

**Yodums** · 06-15-2007, 12:37 PM

Sounds good. No pun intended.

Drew303 · 06-15-2007, 02:29 PM

My car smelled like coolant today when I got to work, hopefully its just the coolant that spilled everywhere.

**Yodums** · 06-15-2007, 02:35 PM

Pop the hood and make sure there's no coolant leaking from the lines.

***06blaksi*** · 06-15-2007, 02:48 PM

Drew303 · 06-15-2007, 03:25 PM

Checked it, didnt see anything leaking. I guess I will investigate some more if I keep smelling it.

**Yodums** · 06-15-2007, 03:29 PM

You're probably smelling the coolant that flowed into the engine bay. I had that smell as well.

I did, but I had the wrong clamp ready, so I had to pull it off again.
I can definately feel the increased mid-range power, and the sound is incredible.

projekt1 · 06-15-2007, 04:05 PM

oh yea dat sucks. i took it off then got the splash, got scared and put it back in, went n grabbed a rag, took it back off and put the new one on wit the wrong size clamp also. luckily i had some other lil clamps around the garage.

atleast you got it on and it works great. congrats on you're cai diy.

kevzSi · 07-15-2007, 03:43 AM

i just ordered this today... its replacing my K&N SRI which rattles a lot.

bangmonsta · 07-15-2007, 11:23 PM

Where do you guys buy your Injei CAI at, and would the one that fits the 06 coupe also fit the 07 sedan Si?

https://www.dragraceinc.com/INJ-SP1578.html

bangmonsta · 07-17-2007, 03:18 AM

oh i didnt answer it because i dont know the answer.. i dont see why it shouldnt fit though. the engine bay is the same size i think

bangmonsta · 07-17-2007, 04:10 AM

yeah I would think so too but better safe than sorry. I dont like returning online stuff =]

ScottyGee · 07-17-2007, 07:33 AM

If you are interested in getting one and need info about whether it will fit ask Dan from Wesellcarparts.com. They are a site sponsor and have a great price. Plus, his customer service is excellent. I had a problem and he has helped me get everything straight with no fuss.

Good luck.
