wantone Posted June 19, 2014 Author Share Posted June 19, 2014 Cheers for the input guys, Thought it would be an easy straight forward swap http://www.clubcivic.com/board/showthread.php?t=108068 Thanks but i've already checked that guide out, lots of pics and info but no mention of that coolant take off I'm not too worried about the coolant hose now, I can just block it off then maybe use it as a turbo cooling route in the future Its the throttle cable and bracket that's worrying me, read in some places its fine to use stock but then others say its too short and you need the DC2 type-R throttle cable and bracket...Wish there was straight forward guide somewhere, maybe i'll make one when i figure it out!

wantone Posted June 19, 2014 Author Share Posted June 19, 2014 Oh yea nearly forgot, need to get myself a new induction kit as the induction pipe is smaller than the throttle body Any recommendations? Must be 70mm+ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noodels Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 you just put a T piece in to link it to existing cooling system with a piece of hose.cable and bracket fits fine,though sticks up in the air, needs an R bracket/cable for USA only and looks better<and neater>mine has the standard cable/bracket.<i adjusted it with a mallet <tweeked> to just bend it down slightly.>its fine The oem fitted to mine >>http://civic5.com/forum/index.php/topic/3813-noodelsskunk2-camsitrbpipe-3-point-strut/page-10 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
