Cold Air Intake Install - Project Integra

How to install a cold air intake on an Acura Integra. This video walks through the steps required to remove the old air filter and tubing and install the cold air intake. The particular intake used is an AEM intake for 1994-2001 Acura Integras. This was selected simply because they offered both short ram and cold air intakes, and I wanted to compare them side by side.

NEW VIDEO EVERY WEDNESDAY!

I know it's 7 years old, but this was the exact video I needed! I've had my GsR integra for 14 years an I'm finally upgrading a few things such as exhaust and intake. Buuut I'm lucky enough to have found a factory sealed brand new CT Icebox! I've also got a full custom tig welded vband exhaust! Can't wait to hear and feel her scream, cheers bud!

Thanks, my riced out Mazda 3 hatch will appreciate this.

I'm becoming a auto mechanic and I pretty much learned everything from ur videos. thank man's. can't wait to see ur results from ur cold air intake

[BboyDaquack]

I'm a mechanical engineering student.  I love watching your videos :) One day I'll be able to afford my own car and do my own mods.  Great videos, very informative and I always love seeing it from an engineering prospective.

I took everything apart OK, but putting it in was challenging to say the least, thanks for the awesome vid, saved me 1800 bucks the garage wanted to charge me

[Ollv]

can't wait for your results. the short ram results was extremely informative. 

[jonwal]

Another informative video as usual! I'm really looking forward to the comparison between the SRI and the CAI.

[tasshuffler]

Well this doesn't seem terribly difficult... Might have a crack at this. Thanks for the vid man

[GMarv]

I'm so glad I found your channel. your are awesome!!!

[RockerDave]

I saw a YT video on here showing a stock intake vs. an aftermarket cold air intake on a dyno - it proved the stock intake drew more air than the cold air intake.

Car runs and drive perfectly fine.
Interior is complete and in good shape as can be seen in the photos.
Radio works and is wired for an amp and sub in truck already.
Cruise control works great.
AC and Heat both work great
Although only on 3 and 4 for fan strength. Might need a new switch to work on low
fan levels. Was that way when I got the car.
Oil changed on time since I have had the car and have service receipts.
Just replaced cap/rotor/and plugs, NGK wires still in good shape.
Track mileage on nearly every tank since I have owned the car, average MPG 30-34
Odometer reads 262k
Motor is not original, changed before I got the car. Motor was Marked at 94k when put in car, don't
know when that was, so not sure mileage on motor. Starts up quick, does not burn oil or get hot.
5 speed Manual. Clutch feels and works great with no slip,
Do not know when the last time it was replaced.

Does that sound good for 1800$

Can you do more videos upgrading this integra?

[Ryley]

One mod you should do for the project and testing is a chip tuner, to change your air/fuel mixtures and ignition timing.

[letsroll]

if youre worried about hydro locking, you should consider getting a hydro shield, its only 20 bucks, its pretty effective against water and dust

[Theauthenticarc]

Hey, good vid. Can't wait to see the testing on it.

Just as a video suggestion. Can you please do one on the tachometer? What it is? What it tells us and why it's useful? What relationship it has with the rotation of the crankshaft? Why revs per min don't have a 1:1 relationship with the speed. As revs increases why speed doesn't increase exactly the same amount? Also, any relationship it may have to fuel consumption (i assume more heavy footed driving would lead to higher fuel usage). I have some basic understanding, but your vids are usually really great and simple. Cheers :)

[AceOfSpaces]

Hey I've got a question. So wouldn't putting the intake that low to the ground make it possible for it to suck up some standing water? If so, would there be ways to prevent that?

[jodada]

Will you do a turbo installation, because I really want to see how much horsepower can be made out of a smaller engine before doing major doing any dyno testing and performance tunes ?
Thanks Again

[MichaelRogersJesusrules]

Great work, God bless you  and the family

[EmZvr]

Great video as always ! Do you plan on testing something like "CT-Engineering Ice Box" which combines the benefits of SRI and CAI, at least in theory ? Or maybe modifying the stock airbox so that it takes cold air from the fender

[junaidmahomed]

half the reason im doing mechanical engineering is because of you :) and its so hard! this is all your fault :P
