Searched but can't seem to find anyone who did a write up on this install, anyone point me where this might be? Also I have an RB cool air inlet, does anyone else have this and can it stay with the Apexi or is it not needed? Or anything to be aware of with the RB?

Any help would be appreciated...thanks

Do you have the instructions that came with it? It should be pretty straight forward to install. Nothing really to mess up on the install.

The RB duct is pretty much useless with the Apexi intake, though. But, you might be able to sell it and recoup some of your cost.

There is an instruction manual on Apexi's website.

er if u cant figure it out that may not be good...
u dont need to read the insructions. i used the pictures just to double check everything went where it was meant to. its more than enough.

oh wait its u man! well i have to do a ton of work on my car especially with this weather. its gotta be back together and painted before our meet! or i would really try to get up and help u out! ****!

if your confused where the crv airpump lines go etc, heres a pic to help you out. If your having problems installing an intake your in for a long trip ahead of you. Domnt mind my engine bay, its realllly dirty after i got done cutting the frame for the headlights, this was awhile back. And yes the duct for the intercooler is covered now.

i dug up an old pic of mine when it was on. these 2 pics should help ya out!

yea one hose is off, it goes to the one in the bottom left area, why its capped off in the pic i have absolutly no idea. oh i think its because it originally was supposed to go to the top but my ricer *** bov blocks it so i rerouted it to the lower one. which brings up another point. u really cant screw up the hoses. they will work no matter where they go anyway, AND they really wont reach to anywhere else. EASY install, hope this helps a little.
the above gets a better veiw of where everyhting should go, i posted mine so u could compare to the actual apexi intakes.

Thanks everyone...yeah mine were in Japanese as well, I was also not sure about the RB so that was helpful. Seems pretty straightforward from here and appreciate the pics NuTbAgSaN & purerx7. Maybe I'll get around to taking some pics of the before & after...cheers

no problem just take your time, its always a good feeling when you complete something yourself

Here's some more pics if you still need help:

oh and like i was telling you, if u see the clamps i had on at the time and what these other fellows are using...use that kind. would have saved me about an hour on the install!! and every install that requires removing the intake! i just dont have any tool that can get those back on easily!

I am missing this stock box - ok?

moktan_fdtt

The install is real simple, self explanatory. One thing you have to remember is to put the pill in the right hose, its the one that goes to the air pump,

NuTbAgSaN

with the intakes u dont need it, but u need to cover the opening on top of the ic duct.

jbrx7tt

suggest old reliable duct tape for now? is there a good permanent solution? Thanks

WaLieN

You can cut out a square of plastic then rivet it in the duct to cover the hole.

NuTbAgSaN

yea duct tape nooo...what he said. or even maybe a simple peice of aluminum with screws or rivets. i had just put the duct to the airbox back on instead.

jbrx7tt

Yeah I didn't think so...I am working on modifying my RB inlet!

jbrx7tt

Well here are the pics, the intake was very easy, the mod for my ic duct basically consisted of some aluminum sheet metal screwed & riveted then sealed the seams with rtv slicone. It is most likely a temporary solution I am probably just going to get a new ic duct but thinking for now it should work. Q: If there are any very small seal leaks, will this be a big deal?

Thanks again for everyone's help.

NuTbAgSaN

tiny leaks shouldnt matter much. as long as most of that air is going to the ic it should be fine. it will probably still flow a lot more to the ic than mine did with the intake duct still on. i wouldnt worry.

jbrx7tt

Good that is what I figured, when I got in there the RB wasn't sealed the best, it is probably tighter now anyway. Seemed like it sounded a bit different when I took it out last night does the Apexi have a more distinctive sound?

jbrx7tt

Yeah it seems like the top cone filter on the Apexi has a sort of throaty sound, is this normal?

Yep, your gonna hear lots of weird noises now. Have you heard the airpump moo yet?
