Short ram intake complications..help??

[blk93]

i ordered some off brand ebay sri and it looked to be pretty legit.

so i take all my stock stuff off, clean out my tb and hook up the tube.

everything fits fine at first, then i notice the nipple for the breather tube

its sitting facing up when it should be sideways...and if i try to connect it with the supplied hose, it just kinks up

theres no way i could rotate it to fix it, either.

shoudl i jsut try a really long tube or something??


another problem is the pipe bends to the point where the air filter would be mounted on top of my battery

i checked everything, he said its for a 93 hodna accord, but this doesnt look good at all

i really dont know what i should do..any suggestions???

pictures? as for the hose that they give you just loop it in a circle so that it doesnt kink.

loop the hose. later.

hmm i was thinkig this as a possible fix, but didnt know if length of the breather tube mattered..looks like i gotta go buy some hose now

but my bigger problem is the filter positioning

here are the pics::



notice how extreme of an agle the nipple is at..why couldnt it just have been welded on the side like it needed to be??



dumps the filter right on the battery...this shit is ridiculous..is there something im doing wrong

[blk93]

desperate bump

Looks odd, If you have a saw I would say cut the end of the intake at an angle so the filter is able to be straight instead of pointing towards the battery.

[h22sparkle]

get a dremel and get to work measure it by cutting back some of the piping to where the filter goes onto.

[papychulo82]

what you could do is angle it at the TB so that it doesn't sit on the battery..like rotate it a little bit away from the battery, get it where you want, THEN tighten up the tube by the TB

[MadSpleen85]

Do you have the battery all the way forward on its stand? I had the same problem with mine and all I needed to do was move my battery forward and now if fits like a glove. But then again I have an Optima Red Top so my battery is smaller then yours.

Like was said above may not hurt to take a Dremel to it and grind either your tubing or the battery holder thing (there is probably a more technical term for that) back so that there is enough room for the filter. Cant really tell from the pics but how short are you on space for the filter? Are we talking inches that would need to be chipped away or what? Good Luck. Later

I cut that metal piece off damn thats a sturdy piece of metal then ran a line directly from VC to intake. Plugged up the other port while i was at it too.

ive considered all of what you guys have said, and thx for the feedback by the way

unfortunately ive found some cons and flaws

if i rotate it towards the breather, the bends of the pipe will aim the filter up into the hood

if i cut it shorter, the filter would be stuck on top of the wires and dizzy area

ill check into the battery situation,..im not sure on that

i think im gonnaloop the breather line and just take it to someone that could just bend the metal a bit more in the direction i need it
