[Euro] Injen CAI

[baboo]

I like the Username username.

hey how many horsies does the injen claim to increase by???

It's an absolute cinch to install and a no brainer really.

As EuroAccord13 said, the only hard part is removing the resonator from the stock intake. I ended up undoing the single screw retaining the bumper to the fender and carefully unclipped the corner of the bumper from under the headlight just enough to get my arm in with a 10mm socket/ratchet-ring spanner. If you don't have foglights you should be able to undo this bolt by laying under the car and reaching up.

If you follow the vague and marginally helpful Injen instructions it was shipped with, plus;

And this TSX owner's "Do It Yourself" walk-through:

Youll be fine.

Good Luck and you'll love it!!!!!

Just got back from my mechanic's place. Anyway in the TSX owner's DIY, for "Step 20: Attach the EVAP vent to the intake tube using the two screw clamps and the provided tube."

my injen didnt come with the 2 screw clamps and the provided tube.
Outta curiousity, does yours come with it?
i have to get a hose and 2 clamps from a auto shop and finish it up tmrw.

The provided tube is the little piece of aluminimum tube that was included with the Injen kit. I've highlighted what I think you're talking about below. Unfortunately the position of the EVAP chamber is such that the two spring clamps are inadequate. I've since replaced those with ring clamps. It's only there for US C.A.R.B emissions compliance.

If you don't have the small section of hose with Injen printed on it that connects the intake to the EVAP chamber you may have an older intake. That should have a longer length of rubber hose that you run straight from the intake, to the crank case vent (the small section of hose comming from the engine being held in the first pic)

Claimed to increase the peak output by 11hp on the 5AT TSX Injen did their test on.

[tegstar83]

ok cool, then there would be no point in spending another 600 bucks for the mugen to just get and extra 4hp.

You will get less power out of the Mugen - it is almost identical in design to the Icebox.

yup, i do have the longer hose, i've seen pictures of the setup.
but from what i see, the hose is too small to be a direct fit onto the intake.
