Installing Short Ram Intake on 2007 Honda Civic 1.8L LX
HTML-код

- Today I am helping a friend turn his Civic into a cooler rice burner by installing a short ram intake. In the video it may be a little hard to tell the difference between before and after, but the customization afterwards make it sound a lot louder in a good way. Please comment to ask any questions that may not have been answered in the video. Please consider subscribing and please like! Thanks for watching and have a great day.

NOTE: If you are not on board with installing short ram intakes or cold air intakes into YOUR car then that is fine. I don't understand why people who don't like something watch a video on the topic and then continue to comment about how such a terrible idea it is.
I’m new to this. Are short ram intakes just for sound?
Well it not mainly for the sound. If you want different sound, you would want to do something with the exhaust, like a cherry bomb, or something similar. This just makes the air cooler for the intake, which will make the engine run better and more powerful, since it allows it to breath. I also have a cherry bomb video on my channel if you want to take a look.

i think leaving that old piece of pipe from rest of stock intake is a good idea since when driving it will draw the fresh air towards your filter. nice vid
Finally a respectable comment. Congratulations you are a decent human being. Haha lol. Thanks watching though!
I did the same,so it still draws cold air into the bay
looking to buy a civic and it had this weird short air intake and thanks this video helped a lot to understand what the previous owner did! might uninstall and put a cold air intake instead.
actually I read that this is better than a cold air cause if you hit a puddle you could fuck up your engine quickly cause the intake is low to the ground (I live in south Florida and it floods here a lot).
@@rxscience9214 we live in Florida too. And so that intake that he put on should be fine
I'm glad you found the video to be helpful.
I live in Texas & that's why I'm about to put a short ram on my Civic. Air intake is currently stock, but I run a Weapon R header with a cheap exhaust system from Car ID & a Flowmaster high flow muffler to not have that fart can look. It has some noise to it already but it needs a little more oomph to it.
thanks for this video. For sure it will help me to install one on my civic
Thanks for watching.
@@octaviusthecrafter sorry to ask you do you know what are the size of the pipes please?? Looking to change them to blue
@@quinlan745 ask Mister Crash down in the comments.
@@octaviusthecrafter cheers thanks for Ur help looking forward to order/install it now
i wish we re-shot the guile's theme part so i got the sonic boom part right cause i messed that up. but overall i'm happy with how the video turned out man!
It's the budget version
@@octaviusthecrafter I guess so
Hi first well done. Do you know what are the sizes of the pipes please?
do a true cold air intake where you take out ALL that nasty stock crap from the front bumper and winding hose. its insane what type of power it gives the 1.8. it's like a whole new beast. i had a short ram for a while, even with a proper heatshield. just not the same.
we'll go ahead and do that at some point he just wanted to change his intake out with this one and see if it works out alright
that sounds incredible, as octavious said I'm gonna have to do it at some point. I really want to experience this car being as close to preformance as I can. do you know if there is a turbo kit avaliable for the 1.8? I can't find any anywhere.
@@mistercrash2845 yes, there are some available. 1.8's are underrated in the modding world . people underestimate it just because it has a cvt and was "made for economy".
if you put a TRUE cold air intake and put 3 inch tubing all the way down to the front bumper, get rid of the highly inefficient and disgusting stock intake tubing that severely limits the vtec and capability of these engines, get a throttle body spacer, get better spark plugs, wihch i already have. it's awesome. My next plans are to get a tune from hondata or something else that's cheaper, get a cat back with a header to make it even better. honestly? . even just with the bolt ons i did makes it MUCH better and more fun to drive. especially in "S" mode.
they are fun cars and the 1.8's are great for modding.
@@octaviusthecrafter yah! of course. i had a short ram for about a year and it was really good noise and a lot of fun. but when the engine heated up it got terrible. i measured performance with both SRI and CAI and the CAI is much better!
have fun :)
@@TheJedimaster6788 that's amazing, I'm gonna have to look into all of that, it's hard to find anything online about this specific car cause from what I've seen, it's frowned upon and the body style is not preferred by many.
I rlly love this motor in my 2013 ex coupe. Only thing is I’ve done a cai even a bought a piece online for the maf to fit in like he’s got but my idling was bugged so idk if these engines need a tune first
did you ever figure out what was wrong with the idle?
Did you remove the ccv line if you did what did u replace it with?! Because I never got no coupler or replacement line with mine an how did u replace it?! Thanks
We recorded everything we did, so the two lines we replaced were the only ones we touched, the lines that I used were in the kit I got and I reused alot of hardware from clamps to bolts, other than saying "watch the whole video" and "do your research" I can't really help you out too much.
@@mistercrash2845 only reason I’m asking is because I just installed my intake an now my car will run for 5-10 secs an the shut off an it’s throwing a engine light an a throttle return spring malfunction ever since the intake was installed but only thing not hooked up is the metal ccv line
@@EhMaac if you watch the video, around the 12 min i literally show what lines I remove, and what I am replacing them with, and that metal ccv line you are talking about? Yes, that was replaced with rubber tubes in that kit I have due to the metal part being incompatable and hitting the new intake. I would assume that both lines need to be reconnected for it to function. The issue you are having with it shutting off after running for a few seconds I never had so it's kinda hard to help troubleshoot cause I wouldn't know how to fix it until I encountered it myself and fixed it too.
You recommend me putting an intake in my 2015 Civic? Mine is an automatic 1.8Liter 😮 and which type is the best for mine?
Cold air is better for engine performance, but this was my buddies car and I can't say for sure what would be best for you. I am not as familiar with Honda.
Is this intake still working alright? (Along with the car..) I purchased the exact same DNA motorsports intake and am waiting to put it in.
Everything works perfectly.
did you get the order?
I’m thinking about putting one in my 2009 as a first mod is it that difficult to do?
I believe that the 2009 is the same generation as the 2007. If so then I say go ahead. Use the video to help guide you and if you need questions just ask in the comments. To me it didn't seem to difficult but just took some time. It didn't take any special tools so you should be good to go.
I have a 2010 coupe. It’s easy
@@octaviusthecrafter2006-11 is the same generation & from what I've seen on sites like Honda Parts Now, the OEM air intake stayed the exact same between 2006 & 2011.
Have you noticed a difference in performance did you need to get a tune done or anything
He said that he had better response, but I personally didn't see anything. But nothing else had to be changed afterwards.
The car was a little more responsive, nothing life changing or incredible, and no tune, it drives just fine without it and no hiccups or dips in power.
Just reset your ecu by disconnecting the battery for 10 min. It reprograms your air to fuel map to the new intake
I got a r18 too abt to add on my air intake and exuast
Someone confirm for me if caautoparts intake arrives the order you ask for or they scam you?
Congratulations!! You just made the car slower 👏 👏 👏
Why did you want to watch the video, then?
Guile theme!
I think you are the first to recognize that song.
My car did a stop start and now it is over heating what should I do?
It sounds like you installed it wrong. Double check you have everything put in correct. If its over heating something may be blocking something. If this fails put OE parts on and see if the issue is fixed. If it is well you figured out your problem. If not, you problem lies else where and is a coincidence. Hope this helps.
what are the dimensions of the vacuum line
Unfortunately I do not have the answer. I know longer have access to the this car.
May get better sound but sucking in hot air from the engine compartment will kill some performance
I believe some come with a cover for short ram intakes or u can buy the long ones that go all the way to the bottom by the front bumper
Do you know if that cold air intake will fir a 2007 Honda civic EX 1.8 ??????
I'm not 100% sure about if it will or not. I did a little research and in my opinion (though possibly wrong) is that as long ast it's the 1.8l i4 and it's orientated the way the one in the video is, it should fit if it's the cold air counterpart to the short ram I have. Though just to be sure, if the site has a part compatability checker, put in all the information about the car it needs, year, trim and engine. Hopefully this is useful information!
How much HP was gain?
None. Or close to none at all. It mostly just changes the sound of the car. That's what I saw anyways.
anybody know what that hose he’s putting on is called? 14:14
What brand did u buy?

Lmao 😅
Please dont put a short ram on this car u will seriously f up ur engine it gets reallyyyy hot right there bud just get a real cold air man
Explain to me how it destroys the engine.
honestly, it's my choice to do this to my vehicle, I haven't had any issues yet but if you want to do a cold air intake, that's all you. but it's my car and my decision to do this. I understand I am taking a risk with the short ram, if I blow my engine up that's on me.
@@octaviusthecrafter short tan intakes takes in “cold air” from the engine bay. There really isn’t any cold air in there it’s more than likely taking in hot air which defeats the purpose. It also depends on the quality of the short ram you might as well by a cheaper cold air intake or an expensive quality shortram. Makes no sense to install something for noise when it’s fucking up ur engine
@@johnantigua4109 look if you don't like watching videos of customizing rice burners, THEN WHY ARE YOU WATCHING THEM?!?!
Ford are built in Mexico not sure that’s a proper American engine “
But this is not a Ford, it's a Honda.
U need an intake box if not ur gonna blow ur motor with the hot air
If U dont like the vid den dont watch it you bingbong head
