So i really don't see the point to bash.

I said it was a nice DIY. I really don't see how I was bashing when i'm just making sure everyone knows that the negative terminal should always be removed first. Maybe you should take your time to actually read my post and not just conclude I was bashing him. Anyways it was a nice DIY.

Does it work okay w/ CAI??

BubzSI · 08-22-2007, 09:18 PM

USDM-FG2 · 08-22-2007, 10:54 PM

its been done, but the elbow coupler hits the radiator hose.

nice DIY BTW

BubzSI · 08-22-2007, 11:02 PM

has anyone installed just the TB gasket without the spacer? notice any difference?

BubzSI · 08-24-2007, 03:07 AM

^^ you wont receive HP Gains.. your engine may run a little cooler.

shutter13 · 08-25-2007, 11:52 AM

another question... can you use the stock studs with just the TB gasket? or does P2R give you different ones?

BubzSI · 08-25-2007, 01:12 PM

Stock studs will work.

***HanCivicSI*** · 09-01-2007, 05:37 PM

What did you torque it at?

BubzSI · 09-01-2007, 06:39 PM

Spacer in, IMG in also. Works like a charm. I had to cut about an inch off of the Injen CAI elbow to allow for a better fit. I'm sure you don't "have" to do this but it definitely made the install easier. Before the elbow was creasing a little. Now it fits fine. I also used a g-flex upper radiator hose to snake around the intake. Stock hose will not work. You could also go a cheaper route and use an all rubber flexible hose as well. Here are some pics with the spacer, flex hose and IMG installed. Thanks Corsport!

I also noticed with the IMG installed, I could no longer fry eggs on the intake. LOL
