heres a comparison on the volume of the CR-V tube compared to the stock Si tube.
the CR-V is on the left.

data loggin with a vishnu XEDE shows that MAF voltages are kept very stable and almost i dentical to stock with the CRV tube. HONDA OEM for ya!

Now it's time to order up some parts and begin my install! Thanks guys for sharing your knowledge and contributing something awesome to this amazing community! My hats off to you X and Caliguy! (But most X

)

Wow, so easy that a Caveman could do it.... Thanks a lot for all the time and effort to help Neanderthals like myself install X's system. I may just go ahead and do the install myself after seeing this. Kudos to both you guys!

No, not at all.

blueice1984 · 12-31-2007, 04:25 PM

one more question. The angle? from back of vane to front, or start it mid way?
(see my mad paint skills below)

naw ive tested underhood temps and intake temps and the lower protion make no difference. a heat shield would be cool but really not necessary

hm i'm kind of confused on this one. which one is the cable?
