YES- I did search! I now know which Accords I do not need to drain 1 gallon of coolant from in order to install an AEM SRI...But I've got a 94 GSR into which I will install aforementioned short ram. The AEM instructions do state that for my car I should drain a gallon of coolant first, but I'd never heard of this until I read them. Are they just covering their butts, or should I really perform this step? Any help is much appreciated.

 

I did :dunno: better safe than sorry

 

Forgive me, but I've never heard of this being done with the install of an SRI. :eh:
It sounds utterly rediculous.

I assume you replenish the system afterwards. So why on god's green earth do you want to run the risk of getting air trapped in the cooling system? :screwy:

 

...why, that's my only question, installing an intake has nothing to do with the coolant.

 

Umm... on my system at least, the old breather line from the intake tube to the valve cover was partially metal piping that was attached to another semi-parallel metal tube that was used by the coolant system.

I stole this pic from team integra...



See the red arrow pointing directly at the intake tube (second arrow from left)? On the GS-Rs (This is a type-R, so it's not accurate), that tube that leads from the intake arm to the valve cover is attached to a coolant line. Don't ask me why... that's just the way it was on my car.

 

yup! for some reason for "better" PCV efficiency AEM recommends having the PCV connector on the valve cover independent from the shared metal "split" with the coolant line.
