Honda Civic Si & Acura RSX Icebox Cold Air Intake Installation Instructions

Comptech Icebox Cold Air Intake for the 2002–2005 Honda Civic-Si and 2002–2005 Acura RSX. All components have been designed and manufactured utilizing the latest in technology and materials. Comptech recommends that you read through these instructions before starting installation and that you use an Acura Factory Shop Manual to supplement these instructions. All Comptech products are intended to be installed by a professional installer. Always use jack stands to support the vehicle when a car lift is not available. Always work in a clean environment and use the appropriate safety equipment to avoid any potential damage or injuries.
Step #1 Remove Stock Air box: • Before disconnecting battery locate radio code to reactivate radio after installation. (write down preset channels for later use) • Disconnect Negative battery terminal then disconnect the positive. • Remove the battery hold down clamp, battery and plastic tray. • Remove intake manifold cover. • Remove stock air box lid and filter. • Disconnect Intake Air Temperature (IAT) sensor, remove upper intake hose and clamps. • Remove air box mounting bolts and nut. Rotate air box forward and out. • Remove rubber grommets and stepped bushings from stock air box*. • Remove Lower Air inlet hose by removing mounting bolt from radiator cross support bracket above cooling fan. Remove the bracket from the radiator support (it will not be reused)
2005 RSX S Only: • To fit the Comptech Inlet Tube you will need to change the stock clutch line. • We recommend using a vacuum bleeder to remove all of the clutch fluid for the system. • Once the system is empty, disconnect the clutch hard line from the slave cylinder and at the back of the gear box. The hard line will not be reused. • Using the supplied fittings install the new stainless steel clutch line. • Secure the line to the gearbox using the supplied Ty-raps. Make sure that the clutch line is clear of all the gear linkage. • Refill and bleed the clutch system using Honda DOT 3 brake fluid or equivalent.
