this is an awesome well detailed write up!

bigjdurnal · 07-11-2008, 12:40 AM

what is the advantage of a sri over a cai? i know it has faster response, but the heat soak does not allow it to make any real power gains. is the sound any different?

***sgtmorph*** · 07-11-2008, 12:44 AM

all I got was a sound gain.

cai you might get a couple hp but possible risk of hydro-lock

....you kinda can't win either way....lolz

nice DIY

balzwin · 07-26-2008, 12:54 PM

I just ordered mine thanks for all the pics. I was wonderin if you could put up a sound clip I have heard really good things bout this intake.

Civvic · 08-08-2008, 04:09 AM

sooooooooooooooo.. When I did this install for my 06 AT 4DR Civic Ex, it keeps on dying!!!

IT DIED ON THE FREEWAY!! and its kinda embarassing that it looked like you stalled in a AT... come on now! shoooot. any suggestions? MAF is clean, and everything is tightly installed.. ECU resetted by removing battery.. what else is there to do?! help !

***sgtmorph*** · 08-08-2008, 04:22 AM

do you have a check engine light on?

gr3yEX1 · 08-08-2008, 02:43 PM

OMG dude you better just remove that air intake then, go back to stock.

packers04 · 08-08-2008, 04:36 PM

i had that problem too, it has now stopped doing it though, its been almost 6 months since it last happened.

thekhmer · 08-08-2008, 04:41 PM

check and see if your battery is connected all the way..

***sgtmorph*** · 08-08-2008, 09:37 PM

I had it in for about a month or so and never had any issues like that...

Had the same issue:
Everytime I came to a stop, it would feel like it was going to stall but never does. It didn't stall until the next day on my way home from work while I was in neutral, this happened twice.

Came home, waited until car cooled down and took everything out and made sure everything was tight and secured. Left battery out for 20 mins and let car idle for 15 mins. Took it for a test drive and when I came to a stop, it stopped feeling like it was going to stall but everytime I lightly tap the gas, the RPM goes down to about 400 before it goes up and the car feels like its about to shut down. Have no clue what the hell was going on but I've since put my stock air box back in (btw the box is a bitch to put back in). It's running fine now.

Anybody have any ideas? Oh and I never got any check engine light or CEL come up on both installs.

Little FYI on Fujita shortrams. go get your car dynoed, and then call the coporate HQ and say "I'm not getting what you advertise", because I bet you arn't. And watch a CAI come for no extra charge upon returning your RAM.

yea, it was connected all the way.. Thanks for the help you guys! one of my friend works in honda and i called him up and he said that probably the intake tube thing was too big. so extra air comes in causing it to stall.. so i believed him haha.

outlaw · 08-24-2008, 08:43 AM

civviv,

I think that's the case with me too, but I don't know where this extra air is coming in from since everything was tight on the install. Let me know if you or your friend figures this thing out.

yep yep will do.

***sk8nava*** · 09-08-2008, 09:23 PM

omg im so glad that there are others having this problem..i was like wtf, did I install this shit wrong? but yeah..mine dies when i come to a stop too. im taking mine into honda this week to have them take a look at it just in case but when it died, the little wrench light and battery light came on. I just turned the car off then back on and it ran fine, but im bout to make a trip back home to texas which is a 16 hour drive, im effin nervous about this now. has anyone come to any conclusions about why this happens??

***ItzGoatee*** · 09-19-2008, 02:00 AM

haha i took mine off bc the cel i got was some code for running to lean sooo thats the prob that makes ur car want to turn off : ]

BlackCivic07 · 10-02-2008, 05:48 PM

i just installed the short ram intake, thanks to this diy :)
and i didnt have any problems at all with it.
i took it for a test drive, and it works fine
the engine didnt shut off or anyhting
does this problem happen overtime?
...kinda worried now...

btw, i drive a AT civic lx

packers04 · 10-02-2008, 06:27 PM

the first time i had this problem was due to my error, i opened the hood and the tube had come off the throttle body. it was a pain to get it on there all the way.
