I'm installing a CAI (4-ig) and I need to remove the plastic under tray. I see plastic snaps and it looks like they just pull off, but i don't want to break them. Any tricks to get them off?

Thanks

 

use a small screwdriver, and pry the center of the cap out, then the snap should just pull out....its like a snap inside of a snap type thing!

 

Thanks Johnny. I got them off.

Word of advice to all, "Never try to install a CAI in the hot Texas sun. You judgement will be impaired, you will cut corners by not reading instructions, and it will take a long time to finish. Consequently, you will be mocked by your body and the sun."

 

Cool...no problem. Hows the intake workin for ya? I did this on WisS2k's car, and it was opposite to your situation...we did it in the dead of winter, about 30* out, and we were in the garage, which wasnt much better....trying to work with a winter jacket on, under an s2000 is not an easy task!

 

I got everything on, started the engine up and then noticed that the small vaccuum on the left was too close to the pulleys for my likens. So I tried to exchange the left vaccuum hose with the the long hose that was included with the CAI. To make a medium story short, the nipple off the plastic air control vaccuum base that accepts input from the air control Solenoid valve vaccuum lines and the denso air control solenoid valve broke. Looks like I'll need to make a trip to the dealership tomorrow, but I'll give autozone a try first.

 

I got it all sqared away now. I can definitely tell the difference in pickup past 4.5k, but it is 100degrees outside, a too hot to do an all out vtec. Will give it a whirl tonight.

I really appreciate your help.

 

no problem....that 4ig is a nice looking intake, love that gunmetal look!

 

FYI, those little plastic connectors are worth their weight in gold! $2.65 EACH form the local dealer!

If you need replacements contact hardtopguy. He'll quote you a decent price.

 

Thanks mybad.

Im constantly amazed at the helpfulness of individuals on this board.
