Lets keep this short and simple...

1. Remove your stock or cold air intake. (6mm socket and 10mm socket)

2. Unplug anything that is attached to the manifold and sensors.

3. Remove the intake manifold cover. (pull up)

4. Remove the 5 bolts holding the intake manifold to the aluminum manifold. (12mm socket)

5. Remove the throttle body by unbolting the 4 bolts that hold the Throttle body (12mm Socket)

6. Remove the 12mm bolt inbetween the throttle body and the valve cover just in front of the throttle body(12mm socket)

7. Unbolt the 2 bolts that hold the manifold to the mounting bracket.

8. Once the manifold is off peel off the rubber gaskets and put them on the new
manifold.

9. Remove the sensor on the stock manifold and place it on your new manifold (This is the hardest part. The screw is on pretty tight using a phillips screw driver. It actually took me 20 mins but getting that phillips screw took me another 10 mins since it was really on there. I would suggest loosing it up when the car is warm and then working on the manifold after it has already cooled down.

10. Reverse all steps and your finished.

30 mins!

Pictures to come soon... still uploading!

Do we have a performance gain documented? Anyone dyno this? Thanks for the post

 

[harley888]

:yeahthat:

Hotboxn got his dynoed. Check his build thread.

I just saw his dyno pic at http://www.crzforum.com/forum/129139-post18.html but there are a lot of variables going on there...

 

[ShazzNADES]

If you're talking about his other mods I don't think you will find someone that did this as their first mod and had it dynoed. Everyone that's done it has said pretty good things about it though.

Is there any difference between the basis fit manifold, and the actual manifold from the fit? I know it's been discussed, I just can't remember.

 

[kenoshainflames]

nope. same thing.

 

[lldsandsll]

it's just candy coated right?

 

[kenoshainflames]

yup yup

 

[varg]

I will be running the same setup as Hotboxn, so I got a pretty accurate estimate

 

[harley888]

...cant wrap my head around fact NOBODY has put this on a dyno by itself...- ? things that make ya' go uhhhmmmm....

 

[BasisSportTony]

Nobody has dyno'd this as a whole since we all have other supporting mods. This by it self would be a larger gain then just a bored throttle body at a 1/4 of the cost. I've noticed a huge difference just bolting this on along with my intake exhaust spark plugs and downpipe. Adding this along with it made a big difference to the response of the car.

If you guys just bought and installed you'd know how great it felt :vtec:

 

[harley888]

ok. just ordered. on back order- two weeks. then I'll try to get on dyno before air and exhuast with downpipe go on... should be 'bout 30 days....

Does it still get a little unstable in the higher RPMs?

It's recommend that you should have exhaust to do this

 

[harley888]

goal is intake, cat delete, and exhuast with it...

As a fact, Honda Uses the exact oil filter from the 1970's to present for all its Acura and Honda Models. Also, the switch-gear (turn signal lever, base model clock radio, etc.) appear interchangeable thru the Civic, Fit, Insight and CR-Z models. Why would Honda make a one-of-a kind intake manifold chamber for the CR-Z, while it had a supposedly better intake manifold chamber design existing in its mega-mass-produced Honda Fit being sold in huge numbers from Europe to Thailand to Brazil to the United States? I believe that Honda has a very rigid design philosopy of not 're-inventing the wheel' if not required.
