Just wondering if this would shave weight. I am in AZ so I don't think the "cold air" effect will apply too much here.

Try Texas, though honestly, my fathers CAI gave him the small 5-10hp boost they say it will. Besides, I think a CAI is freer and looks better anyway.

i ordered my accord intake from eautosource 3 weeks ago and they wont give me a tracking number or respond to my e-mails, how long did you all have to wait?

Sinyk

#153

I think I actually shifted it towards the engine after pulling it off this past weekend, but it doesn't cause problems. I don't expect it to move much and it's not pushing against the reservoir.

Mine took 10 days to arrive.

what was the return address?

basically where are they located?

ON the box that I recieved it says:

Jinweng Tang

JWT Group
1248 W 134th ST UNIT 1
Gardena CA 90247


I hope that helps.

I recieved mine in about 3-4 weeks. If it doesn't ship soon, get your money back through paypal.

When you guys talk about sealing off the small hose on the intake..what do you mean? What do you use to seal the tube off after cutting it? Does anyone have actual measurements for the cuts on the Accord CAI from E autosource for a GT.

I just ordered mine from eautosource..I don't know if I'll be able to wait 3-4 weeks!! My stock intake has a big crack in it right now, any ideas on how to patch it?

Sinyk

#157

Mine only had one breather outlet so I didn't have to seal anything off, but from the sound of it, some people have received intakes that have two breather outlets, one big, one small. You only need to use the big one, so they seal off the small one, with what I don't know.

cHinaman727

#158

Here's the deal. First off, I recieved a 3 inch pipe. Not 2.75, 2.5, but 3. That made it a little more difficult to fit and that is why i decided to go with a short ram intake.

On one hand, I don't need to buy a bypass valve ($40-$50 anti-water thingy) for the intake, but on the other hand, I am getting hotter air.

Secondly, my pipe came with two tubes that are apparently used on an accord but not on our cars. I went to Oriellys and picked up some rubber cover seal things. I can go get the name of them if you need.

Also, what to you mean the cuts on the Accord CAI? I don't follow that sentence.

Since i have an st i dont need any breather hose, so on my old sri i cut it off with a dremel then grinded down the welds or watever they were that held the nipple in place. Then i taped the inside of the intake where i grinded down the hole. Then i melted a bunch of solder onto the tape and around the hole and everything (crude but all i had). When it was sealed i grinded then sanded the whole thing smooth and sent it away to get powdercoated. imo it was way to much work for a hot air sucker that in the end i just sold.

jlacker its been almost 4 weeks for me, i think 3-4 weeks was an understatement. Im also not looking forward to opening it when it comes because the only reason i ordered from eautosource was because someone said it was 2.5" piping, now i hear thats wrong and someone got 3" piping???

o man....lol wateverrr

Because people either can't use the search button or they don't read the previous pages to get all the info they need and proceed to post at the end because it takes less effort.

9 pages now.

who cares if its nine pages? lol

#163

On the GT some people cut the S pipe...and some cut the L pipe to make the intake fit properly in the Celica. I was wondering @ what measurements (how many inches down from one end to the other did you make the cut on each pipe or IF both)

Thanks!
I sure hope its not a 3 in. pipe, cause I need to do something quick, my stock intake has a huge crack in it.

#164

even if it is a 3" pipe u can just widen the hole and move the fuse box, prolly will take about an hour more, depending on your skill.

My thinking about being close to the brake fluid reservoir is if you hit/get hit on the front left, the pipes could cause damage to the reservoir or master cylinder, making repairs more costly and time consuming...

Sinyk

#166

True, but if I get hit, then my insurance is going to cover it as well as the rest of my car that got crunched in the accident. I checked and it is farther from it since I took it off and put it back on, so problem solved. I had a lot of extra pipe on the L-shaped piece so I was able to shift the S-shaped piece farther away.

widening the hole wont be an easy task. You have to do the widening using a grinder or air saw, then you have to get rubber siding to make sure the pipe is worn down by the edge of the metal. Your stock air tube is fitted perfectly, this is a round tube and obviously wont be perfect.

In response to the cutting, I believe I took about 3 inches off the end of the S pipe closer to the battery, and I took about 1 inch to 1.5 inches off the end that connects to the throttle body, I might even recommend cutting 2-2.5 because of fitting reasons. It runs against some fluid thing if you look at one of my pictures.

ALSO

eautosource, I would not recommend. They are obviously too overloaded for their employee count. They barely communicated, and didnt leave feedback. Infact it was so difficult to contact them, I decided to stay with the 3 inch pipe, after all, unless you are making a cold air intake (50 extra bucks for the bypass valve) then you can simply by a 2-3 inch coupler for the throttle body hole.


WHEW.

in response to your rubbing try cutting the end of aluminum that connects to the throttle body, about an inch, that should stop the rubbing.

and making the hole bigger would be easy for me but i guess not for all, o well

Ok, your guys' pipes must've been different than mine. I didn't have any extra I could cut off on the end connecting to the throttle body. I ended up taking probably 3 inches off of the end connecting to the filter though.

I just got my CAI from eautosource delivered today. Its 2.75 in wide. Does anyone have a sound clip of CAI WITH the bypass valve?? I don't know if I'm gonna do CAI custom SRI with the kit.

I believe 2.75 will work with the stock hole, though I am not sure. Ask around, also, If you have the money, I'd buy a bypass valve and do the CAI, you will get better HP than an un-heatshielded/airboxed SRI.

possiably but the bypass valve means more restricted air flow and less performance which is what your lookin for...mine is loud as **** without it

So is it louder or quieter with the bypass valve ON? lol im so confused
it must have been late when you wrote those, i always get screwed up when its late lol

#180

no i said the same thing in both posts...you must have just read them wrong....all im sayin is that its very loud without the bypass valve and if your only puttin it in for the noise factor its stupid because it cant be much louder.....the main reason i dont have one in besides the fact you really dont need one if you use the same cai i used is because it restrics air flow
