Fujita SRI Install DIY

[Noyty]

Note, this DIY skips the steps to remove the stock air inlet tube located near the battery. I choose to leave it in to make it easier to go back to stock should I need to.

Before proceeding make sure your engine is cold unless you like being burned by coolant.

Here goes it:
Loosen the clamps securing the intake tube to the air box and throttle body.

Pinch and pull the mass air flow wiring harness clip to remove it from the mass air flow sensor. Next, use needle nose pliers to push out the green plug securing the wiring harness to the air box

Remove the two screws holding the mass air flow sensor to the intake duct. Gently pull the mass air flow sensor from the air intake box and set aside:



Remove the vacuum hose from the stock intake tube. It made it easier to remove this connection, and the others, by using a small flat head screwdriver to break the seal around the connection and gently pry it off:



Remove the crankcase hose from the stock intake tube:



Undo the six silver clips surrounding the stock air box and remove the top cover and air filter.

Remove the two 10mm bolts and one 10mm screw securing the air box (you will need a 12" socket extension to get at the top right bolt) and remove the air box from the vehicle:



Remove the crankcase hose:



Follow the remaining stock tubing to the upper coolant outlet port and remove it:



A small amount of coolant will leak out but will stop:



Remove the stock clamp from the upper coolant outlet port tubing you just removed and put it on the Fujita supplied 8mm tubing. You need to do this because the next port, the throttle body coolant inlet port, will continuously leak coolant if you are not prepared to quickly replace the stock tubing with the Fujita tubing.

Here is the throttle body coolant inlet port:



Remove the stock tubing from the throttle body coolant inlet port and quickly replace it with the Fujita tubing and stock clamp:



Using a stock clamp, attach the other end of the Fujita tubing to the upper coolant outlet port:



Here's a wide shot of the new configuration:



Here's the removed stock tubing and plenum:



Loosely attach the supplied t-bolt clamps to the 45 degree hose and attach it loosely to the throttle body. Install the vibration mount onto the circled bracket:



Install the mass air flow sensor onto the intake with provided machine screws. Make sure the gasket fits snug and even. I had to press firmly to make it level:



Install the air filter onto the intake pipe:



Install the intake pipe into the 45 degree hose and align the intake bracket with the vibration mount. Firmly tighten the t-bolt clamps:



Secure the bracket to the vibration mount with provided nut and washer:



Attach the factory vacuum pipe onto the intake pipe using the stock clamp. The photo shows it unattached for clarity of placement:



Attach the Fujita supplied 15.9mm vacuum hose onto the crankcase port. You don't need a clamp for this attachment:



Attach the other end of the vacuum hose to the remaining open port on the bottom of the intake pipe. Again you don't need a clamp for this attachment:



Here's a wide shot of the 15.9mm vacuum hose configuration:



And here's the final product:



I found the install to be very straightforward and simple and I don't have very much experience with cars.

I've had it on for one week with no CEL's or leaks. The sound is great and throttle response is definitely better above 4500 RPM's. I do notice occasional bogging below 3500 RPM's. As for heat soak, I will know very soon if it's a factor because I live in Houston and it's fixin' to get very hot, real soon. I'll keep you posted on that.

Yeah, it's touching the elbow and the vacuum hose. Today I'm going to try and angle down the radiator hose as much as possible as another member said he did. But I really don't think it's an issue. This material is designed for high heat and I don't believe it's even marginally raising the temperature of the air entering the intake.

[Adlh29]

Clubrsx has them for 179.00$ shipped last time I checked. That's where I got mine from.

[Adlh29]

Wow, now they're 221.00$. Clubrsx does have black though.

awesome diy. itll help me when i install mine. sub'd!

[I Vtec, do you?]

I have an extra wrinkle black fujita SRI if anyone wants to buy. Long story of how I got a second one. I'll easily beat that $221 price, though. Just PM me with an offer.

OP, thanks for the DIY. I keep putting off doing the install, but I like to see this stuff just so I know I have something to fall back on when I inevitably get stuck. So thanks!

I got it from ebay store JDM-In-Stock. The "Buy it Now" price was $199 shipped but they also had a "Best Offer" option which I went for about an hour before the auction ended. They accepted my offer for $185 shipped and I received it via UPS 3 days later. Here's a link to the store:

Just go for it, it's very easy, you won't get stuck.

[I Vtec, do you?]

Yeah I can see that now, thanks. It looks a lot more complicated when you're looking at those crappy, small pics in the instructions vs. yours.

[mohouse]

i got this intake, and it is awesome, no complaints at all.... and yeah the sound is awesome!!!!

[Noyty]

Sorry, I forgot the no-brainer final step, which is to re-attach the mass air flow wiring harness to the mass air flow sensor.

everyone leaves that lil green clip on the maf :-D

[ricetastic]
