So I heard you can easily make one of these yourselves. anyone got any way of telling me how to do this?

 

well basicaly you can hack off the maf mount from you air box put a cupler and a air filter

 

NVM

 

idk i tried to make a short ram 2 different ways and neither worked for me...the first was i took my friends aem civic intake and cut it down to a reasonable size to be considered a short ram for my car and used a filter from pep boys. that set off the "too lean" code in reference to the air flow and all it did was cut off the mivec engine after 4-4500rmp. then i tried a hard plastic intake piece from pep boys with the same filter and it only did the same thing...soo now im back to stock

 

you kept the mass air flow sensor on right? where did you put it??

 

i bought a connector piece from pepboys that was the right fit for the maf...

 

did you reset your ecu?

 

the easiest way to do a short ram very very extremely cheap for our RA, 4g69 2.4L, is cutting the stock maf tube from the air box, but if you want to put back the air box you cant, hehehe

 

yeah i want the option to put that back on if need be haha.

i was thinking of picking one of the short rams up at autozone but i dont know how they do. i havent gotten any reviews on them whatsoever

 

This is the way I did it.

 

what did you use and does it work good for you?

 

Why, if you can buy a SRI kit made specifically for the RA, would you piece together a "DIY" kit? Not knocking it, I actually want to know why.

 

i did not know it existed, i dont have many resources. gotta link you can hook me up with?

 

Ask and you shall receive- Road Race Motorsports They have all kinds of goodies for your RA

 

now i remember why i was going to make my own, cost
