HELP! CAI in a dc5r

[sir.em1]

hi guys.

I recently purchased a dc5r. Im planning on purchasing a Injen CAI.

After obseriving the engine bay, i realise that the battery is in the way. I just want to know what other DC5 owners with cai have done when installing. Whether it be relocating the battery or working around it. Is there any other barriers besides the battery?

Thanks

the injen cai runs under the battery down to the front bumper. you dont need to relocate the battery.

when installing it you need to remove the battery and drill off this metal plate where the battery sits. its all in the instructions that come with the injen cai.

also need to change the washer bottle around... but this comes with the kit.

if i can recall a metal tab on the battery tray gets in the way of the piping. i just bent it away.

you've also got to cut through some plastic down in the wheel well.
once again its all explained in the installation papers.

thanks for the suggestions guys. Is there any other intake systems i can look at besides Injen? i was looking at mugen and grouppem but they're a bit pricey.

look @ j's racing, might be pricey though...

how bout kNN typhoon?

I installed mine today, I didn't touch the battery, all I did was remove the front bumper and follow the instructions.

PS. my car sounds like a V8!

injen is worth the trouble
*this will problem start up another injen vs gruppem/mugen debate

luckily he's specifically asking about ease of installation, so a power debate would be off topic

[Dr.k20z1]

is the cai same for dc5r and dc5S guys?

aem v2... i had to settle for ordering in an injen though

Can someone give me a list of tools that im needing to install the INJEN CAI
Ill have everything i need but i rather know.
(im needing to remove my stock airbox, if people can also supply photos and shit, that'd be great)

Thanks

at least it doesnt sound like a boxer...ie 3cyl rumble.

fujita is another one thats basically the same as injen and a lil cheaper.
