Hey everyone i just bought a RRM CAI and they didnt send any directions on how to put it in or anything. Does anyone know or have any advice on installing the RRM CAI? And i dont get where the bracket bolts up to.

Thanks, Nick.

 

For the most part it is a easy instillation. The bracket bolts up to the tranny, when you have the cai in place you will see where it goes. And for ease remove the left wheel it makes things easier for the filter install. After you have it installed double check clamps and make sure it is not rubbing on the lower rad hose or battery tray. After that reset the ECU and your good to go.

 

Yeah i had a hell of a time trying to get that thing in place....that rad hose really got in the way. What should i do if it is hitting it?

 

leave it.. it touches mine and doesnt do anything

 

K...Thanks a lot. Ill try this week to get it in. But i would like to see someones pics of it installed on the car. So i have something to go by.

 

pics would be great as I plan on picking one up soon

 

pics are everywhere, try show and shine or the cai vs sri thread in my sig. no I haven't checked either place, I already know what it looks like

 

If you pick up the rrm cai then the instructions are near perfect and require no additional pictures, if you need any additional pictures ask and ill go out and shoot some

 

No!....the thing is a didnt get any instructions with it. Thats why im asking.

 

K well it's basically like this:

1. take out the stock air box. There is a long bolt that you're going to take out here, make sure you keep it as you are going to need it to connect the CAI to the clutch assembly. Move the MAF sensor aside and make sure you dont wreck it. Be careful with the bolts holding the the MAF as they have a tendency to strip.
2. Take out the batttery. I don't beleive this is necessary but highly suggested.
3. Jack up the car and take the passenger side under guard off. There is a panel between the engine bay and the fog light compartment, you're either going to need to cut a hole to fit the filter or you are going to need to just take it out. I personally just took it out as this was the easiest and it's not necessary.
4. The installation you bolt the CAI up where the clutch line slave modulator connects to the clutch assembly. take the bolt out of the right side of the slave cylinder and place the CAI hole between the slave cylinder and the clutch assembly. This is where you need that long bolt from the airbox. Make sure you dont tighten to hard or you will strip the the clutch assembly.
5. Finally, attach the CAI to the Intake manifold and attach the MAF to the CAI.
6. Replace the battery and the under guard, and start the car up. Let it run for about 5-10 minutes to let the ecu learn and enjoy your CAI!

 

Ok heres some pics



Here I've circled where it bolts up


Here is it connected


Here's the connection to the IM


Here you guys go, I hope this helps a little bit!

 

thats great, ty for pics I just like to see them cause it looks cool and nice instructions cow

 

Ok Everyone i just installed the RRM CAI and It started up and i let the car adjust to the new CAI. Now It wont let me go full throttle at all. PLease help me, i need some help.





Thanks, Nick

 

Its your MAF, did you reconnect it? If you did that then what you're going to have to do is disconnect the negative terminal on your battery and leave it for about ten minutes, then reconnect it. This will reboot the ecu and every thing should work out. If not, I'm guessing you damaged your maf and you're going to need a new one.

 

There is one more possibility as well, If you put the filter of the CAI on too far it will block airflow and you will have the same problem. So if this is the issue pull the filter off the piping about half an inch or maybe a bit more and you should be good.
