Remember that I am not a professional and this is just my advice on how to do these installs. I am not responsible for any damage that you may cause to your car. The first thing to do is to make sure the car is cooled off before trying any install. Also take any safety precautions to make sure that you are not injured while doing this. INSTALLS:PAINTING:
Iceman intake:
This is a very basic install on any
car. You get everything you need to do this from Iceman. You get the
intake tubing, ring clamps, rubber hosing, support bracket, filter, and some
hard to read instructions. The first thing you have to do is to decide
whether you will be doing the street or competition style. If you decide
to do the street style it is very easy and should not take more than 30
minutes. First disconnect the negative on the battery. Next remove the hoses and computer chip
connections from the factory intake. You then take off all clamps and
anything else holding the intake in place. Once you remove this you are
ready to set up the Iceman intake so that you can put it on. Attach the
brace onto the intake (the straighter piece of the two that were sent to you), the filter, and all the ring clamps you will need to
use. When doing the street style you will not use all of the parts that
are sent to you. Next you put the intake onto the throttle body. Now
line up the brace and bolt it to the car where your directions tell you.
This will be different on most cars, so I can not tell you where exactly where
this is. Once the brace is tight you can tighten the ring clamp that holds
the intake to the throttle body. Once tight you then hook all hoses and
censors back up. Next start the car and see if any engine lights come on
and if they do you will need to reset the ECU.
It is a good idea to reset the ECU anyways to get better gal mileage.
If you decided to do the competition style then you follow all of the same steps
before but do not put the filter on the straight piece, like you do for the
street style. You have to remove the front bumper so that you can remove
the resonator box. Once you remove the resonator box you feed the other
intake piece up through the hole so you can connect it to the one that is
connected to the throttle body. Use the rubber connecting piece and two
ring clamps to connect the two intake pieces together. Once they are tight
you can put the filter on the end of the intake and tighten it with a ring
clamp. Now you just have to put the bumper back together and you are done.
Aem CAI:
HKS Superdragger: The HKS Superdragger is a direct bolt-on to
the car. All you have to do is to remove the factory exhaust, making sure
it is not hot. Then you use the same support spots to hook the HKS exhaust
up to the car. Make sure that every point where it is supported that it is
on right and will not come loose. After this is done you are ready to go.
Plugwires: To install plug wires make sure the engine is
not hot. When the engine is cool you remove one plug wire at a time.
Remove the plug wire and match it up with the new ones to find the one that is
the exact same size. Install this new plug wire and make sure that it is
tightly fastened to the distributor cap and plug. Keep doing this until
you run out of plug wires. When you run out go back and check all wires
again to make sure they are on tight. Now start the car and make sure that
it does not misfire and you are done.
Resetting the ECU:
You want to reset the ECU after upgrading with and after-market performance
part. This will give you better gas mileage. The first thing to do
is to turn on the car and warm it up, keeping it at normal idle level.
Next turn the car off and pull the ECU fuse out, which is located in the
fuse box under the hood. Keep the fuse out for at least 5-10
minutes. Put the fuse back in and close the hood. Now you can start
up the car, DO NOT STEP ON THE GAS WHEN STARTING IT UP OR WHILE IT IS
RUNNING. Let the car idle for about 5 minutes. Shut the car off and
then start it up again. Now your car is reprogrammed. By doing this
your car balances the air/gas ratio. This will take you about 20 minutes
to do.
