I was wondering which kit I should get to fit my VG I was told it has to be a certain bend? Also does anyone have any newer pics of the Accord intake on a VG. DOes the Accord kit have to be the full CAI or can u get the short ram and it will fit? thanx i tried searching but im still little confused just wanted to clear everything up before i spent my well earned money.

Thanx

 

Um, an Accord intake is designed to fit on a Honda Accord. Why would you put it in your Nissan Maxima? You DO have a Maxima right? Well do you?

 

Maybe because its about 1/3 the price of a warpspeed or PR CAI and itll do the same job if set up correctly.

 

Well, a WSP CAI is $155. I had no idea what make/model Accord you're talking about, so I searched for a 98 Accord on nopionline.com. I found CAI's ranging from $138 up to $250. Go ahead and buy am Accord CAI, save $20, then bang your head against the wall when you realize it wont fit!! It's a totally different engine bay!! Wow...

 

good luck getting a WSP CAI...as of late their shipping out of products has been kinda off. as well as them stopping production on their CAIs for bad battery fittment(hmmmm??). so before you criticize him and tell him WSP this, WSP that, you might wanna check and see what WSP has been up to in the last few months! and just FYI the Accord CAI is from a 90-93 Accord and it costs a lot less than $138, its actually under $100. I have a 95-99 non-turbo Eclipse hybrid intake on mine...cost me $35 and as far as I can see performs just as good as any other more expensive or available(heh...) mid-pipe/filter combos!

MaximaJohnny, if you do s search I think there are pics of Cheezer with his installed, other than that Dummy is the only other who has done it. all I know its a 90-93 Accord CAI kit(but you can use the regular non-CAI intake pipe kit also)

 

Thanx DA-MAX for gettin my back bro lol. Alright ill see what they got on ebay for 90-93 accord CAI's

 

heres one, but you have eight minutes...its from Procarparts.com, I've bought from them many times!!

Warpspeed does take a long time, if you can wait it's well worth the wait. But hey sometimes people just can't wait and you know what I don't blame you. My friend with the VG has an intake which he just kept on trying until it fit, he works at a parts store where they sell intake tubes and other automotive stuff and got an intake to fit, he must've tried about 10 tubes by the time he found the correct intake and I think it was for an Accord, looked pretty good.

 

Yeah, you are gonna want a kit from a 90-93 accord, you can get either the short ram or the cold air, they both fit.. but there are different designs of the cold air made, so make sure it looks like the one in the auction da-max posted.

 

Hey Dummy was wondering if any of these would fit. I want a hybrid newayz so I'm not worried bought the lower tubing.

The first and last ones will, the second one will not.

 

Hey Dummy I'm considering getting the 3rd intake out of that list. Was wondering if u could help me out with what other accesories i will need and where i could find these. Your help is greatly appreciated. Thank you

 

That is the same one i have on my car now, all i had to do was grease up the fitting for the vacuum hose on the intake and force the vacuum hose to go on, because the one in the kit is a lil smaller than the stock max one... you will need another coupler... you can used the stock one, but i had another laying around so i used that... you can either purchase a MAF adapter or use the brass piece in the stock airbox and bend it strait. i just used the one in the air box and bent it straight.

 

I've been wait for a warpspeed inCAI since mid-June. They've been they've been telling me "some time next week" for the past 2 months...

But on the accord intake..the $60 ebay ones I've seen may fit, but they're 2.5" instead of 3" like WSP PR or Cattman.

 

mine is 3"...

 

hmm im not to sure what u mean by using the stock MAF adapter and bending it str8. Is there a place I can purpose this piece or should i just use stock one.

 

BUY ONE!!!!!

 

Dude I asked of a place where I could get one I know I have to buy one dont tell me something i already know.

 

why not Ebay like was suggested?? Procarpats.com sells them all the time on Ebay...directcarparts.com is also a reliable seller/retailer.

 

Ya i know i understand that im wondering though about the MAF adapter piece that im going to need. Does it come with the kits on ebay or am i going to have to get on. If so where?

thanx

 

not sure about the Accord kit, but for my Eclipse intake I had to buy the MAF seperately, but they have them on Ebay for $10-15 too....they usually go for $25+ on other places.

 

The cheapest adapters i have found are on ebay, but they come with filters... but you could always just sell the filter to a friend or something and make some of your money back...

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...tem=1862970108

I didnt want to spend money on one of those so i just used the brass one that is in the stock airbox... by that i mean, there is a brass adapter in the stock airbox, but unlike the aftermarket ones where the part that the filter attaches to is flat, the stock one is curved outward so you have to bend it strait...

stock: _) (_

get it?

 

Hey bro I was thinkin of getting this the one u should me: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...tem=1862979302

u think itll be any different then the 3rd link i should u earlier in sound?? How bout performance if its not that much a difference im gonna get this man cause im kinda short on dough right now i just want a cheap intake thatll give me nice sound.

 

man you have to get either or....the intake w/o the pipe will not be as loud since te OEM resonator in the intake pipe will still be there.

BTW, you can go down to Autozone/Pep Boys and get one of those cone filters for the same price!

 

ahh dude u serious is it not gonna sound good without the polished piping?

 

I didn't say it wouldn't sound nice/good...I said it won't be as LOUD, thats what you asked originally. I had that type of setup for 2 years and although its not as loud as my current setup, it does growl really nicely! the stock intake piping has a sound resonator inside which reduces the noise when accelerating...when you replace that pipe with the polished one, you lose the resonator, thus you now have a LOUDER intake!

 

Alirght looks like Im gonna have to get the hybrid setup then instead the Pop charger lol.

 

I just orderd the eclipse intake as well. Why spend more money for a brand name when you can buy the same thing for 1/2 the price. . . . . . . .

 

Thats what Im sayin dude. I just won an auction for the 3rd link i have above the one of the 90-93 accord kit I cant wait to get it on and installed to hear that beast growl.

 

Aight one of the guys who has this accord intake on their car, i was wondering if u could give me some hints for when i install this kit. Any things to look out for? also how am i suppsoe bend that MAF adapter? its prob an easy job just wanna make sure i know what im doin when goin into this.
thanx

 

what i did to bend the maf adapter was get some tin sheers? and snip like 2-3 slits in the maf adapter, then got some plyers and started bending the pieces strait...

the only thing that would be slightly difficult is getting to vacuum hose on... i just greased mine up and pushed like holy hell...

 

hey dummy u think that snippin it could make it leak or whatever or na? it obviusly works for u tho correct.

 

i dont think it would leak, mine doesnt but i didnt snip it all the way down to the base, just some slits abouthalf way down.

 

hey dude im so excited i just got my baby back from my mechanic today he put the new clutch on for me and fixed a squeaking belt. The clutch is sweet man real heavy its a german engineered clutch real high quality. chirps the tires no problem. now i cant wait to get my intake i ordered should be in in about a week. im pysced!!!

 

Hey Dummy I got my intake kit today and i was wondering if u could help me. I followed what u said with bending the copper MAF adapetr and i got it to work but iwas runnin outta time so i just stayed wity stock pipe with the pop charger for now. But i was looking at the pipe and I cant seem to understand how its gonna be conncted up. would u happen to have a picture of this so i could understand or try and explain it to me? do u use the oroginal rubber adapter the part near the engine or u use a new one? and down the other end where it connects to the MAF adapter how do u connect it? kinda confused as u can see lol

oh ya also i rain it with the pop charger it sounds pretty mean. was just wonderign tho if itll sound better when i get the polished pipe put on. id like it to me louder hehe

 

1) disconnect clamp on rubber coupling connecting stock intake tube to throtle body pipe.

2) disconnect hose attached to intake tube.

3) disconnect clamp on MAF end of intake tube.

4) remove intake tube.

Instalation:

Put polished pipe on, take a look at it, it should be in the same shape as the stock plastic tube. connect rubber coupling(#1) from throtle body pipe onto polished pipe. Connect rubber hose(#2) to nipple on polished pipe. Connect other end of polished tube to your MAF at location #3 using blue coupling that should have came with the accord intake kit. You may have to go to the local parts store and pick up one or two more 3" clamps.

BTW, yes it will be louder once you put the polished pipe on, cause the stock air tube has a resonator to make it quieter.

let me know if you have any other questions.

 

I just did up my hybrid intake setup over my old popcharger and its amazing. The polished piping made it much louder and crisp sounding and because the restrictions of the resonator in the stock piping was not there i noticed much better throttle response. Boy was it ghetto rigged though but hell it sounds beautiful and the power feels better than just a pop charger because i dont get the hiccup effect when i hit high rpms. How me and my boy installed it was i took the stock hose and the vaccum hose and did a ghetto type splice job in order to get it to fit. I didnt try greasing it up but thats ok im going to get some engine dressups eventually to replace this tubing anyways. Then i took the fitting off the filter that came with the kit and used that on the bottom and used the other rubber fitting at the top. Then i used stock clamps i had and even some duct tape to secure and make sure theres not any leaks. Not the most clean install although im confident in no leakage

When i have some time ill get rid of the duct tape and use something to make it look cleaner of an install. But for now it works and i'm a proud new member of the 3rd gen hybrid intake club. Just my 2 cents. If i can borrow my sisters digicam i may post some pics soon.

 

ok the rubber adapter #1 i use the black one thats already on the throttle body correct? oh ya and the end where u connect to the MAF adpater the blue plastic coupling that came in the box looks like a reducing one did u use this one, it wont seem itll work? oh ya and hte nipple o nthe pipe for the hose isnt lined up with the stock hose and the hose is like a strong plastic so i cant bend it. should i just take this off and use the bendable one that came included i nthe box?

thanx

 

yo dummy i still cant get it on lol

 

You mean you are snipping the plastic pieces next to the bolt holes on the adapter, arent they made of plastic, and if so, wont they break and snap off? Let me know
