Fun Project had some problems staying on eventually sold it for a EG6 H22A1 Turbo I want a K20 or K24 now
thank you for the video helped a lot! installed today and i’m loving it so far
I’m glad to hear! I recently sold my accord but looking to buy another within the next year or two
You said pull out the rubber in the box and come out🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣, awesome video my mind was just in the wrong place
Video was suggested to me, I have a 07 Accord build.
In my 06 tsx I can feel the vtec without the intake. I'm getting a short ram today. Thanks for this video. I hope it sounds as good as yours. Btw I suggest installing a oil catch can from pcv to intake to filter out oil sludge. Also can save your engine from hydro lock like it did on my last car Saab 9-5.
I actually sold my car a couple months back in January to buy a Jeep Wrangler to haul my race bikes, but my PCV was surprisingly clean and the car didn’t burn much oil at all so I wasn’t too concerned with a catch can. My prelude, on the other hand, has a catch can lol
do u need a catch can because of the short ram?
You used non flammable brake cleaner to check for vacuum leaks. It wont combust and bring up the idle like regular brake clean will.
The green stuff works, it’s non-chlorinated and very flammable. I’ve used it a few times to start old engines and what not
The car is clean btw brother 🥶
Thank you, I really appreciate that!
I have an 05 Honda Accord LX 4 door. I love my car and have redone the headliner, the carpet, and am currently looking for new back seats and new seats (just not wanting uncomfortable racing seats)
Don’t blame you, in a car like the accord it doesn’t make sense to have racing seats
you can find some decent suspension seats for $250 a piece.
I just got an 05 LX 5spd MT, and I'm removing the back seats and getting front racing seats
Did you use the original air sensor or you brought a different one to go with the air intake? Lmk just brought one mines having trouble staying on.
I used the OEM MAF, should bolt right up. Did you use the two old screws or new ones provided?
That blocked off hole on the tube is for an ambient air temp sensor. Mine has it but I don't have the maf sensor
Dan Finch I do have the MAF but no sensor, that’s odd.
@@OlsonAuto so do i, pretty strange i cant find anything talking about it.
TRENT H yeah I think my old tube has the sensor but no plug, which is odd. Oh well, it still runs so it’s good enough
Some models come with temp sensor and some come with Maf sensor but never both
The IAT is part of the MAF sensor in the 2005.
🐐 video
Thank you I’ll try this soon on my 05 accord
You going to end up having to buy a new converter. I got a 05 Honda Accord ex . Got that same intake n end up with alot problems.
@@alexcarrasco6180 CATs aren't important unless your state requires emission testing (or you care about the eco, which I do).
The engine damage from racimg your engine using a cheap SRI that makes you run lean is the real concern.
Hey dude..... that's a cool deal! I had done it b4 with an eBay short ram on my Civic that I used to have. I thought it was cool except that I had a 5 speed MT Civic V-TEC, which I had to rev higher to take off on 1st gear bc of the less constraint cool air intake. Did you have that issue? Btw, I got pretty dizzy at the end of your video from excessive shaking. Try not to get too excited man!!! Just a word of advice. ;)
My accord was an auto, so no difference in take off RPM. As for the shaking, I think my camera was just loose on the tripod, it makes it shake with every little movement.
Where did you buy the brakes
I got a 2007 white Honda Accord ex v6 and I wonder where and how can I set this thing up well to my accord?
They do make this set-up for the v6, I’d check eBay first
Just so y'all know these accords come in sulev and non sulev I can never find a cold air intake install on one that's non sulev my air ox does not have that sensor on it
How’s the fitment of the face lift spoiler on the non face lift trunk?
Was a little rough, but not terrible, had to get real close and know to look to really see it. I wish I had done the full facelift, I ended up buying the proper trunk but I sold the car back in January. I do plan on buying another, cleaner/lower mileage one soon though
Where did you get those lights for the bottom of your car?
Walmart sells the underglow kit, Alpena makes decent kits too!
Good job 👍🏽
Thanks!
Gonna order 1 next week any different
Wire loom homes makes shit look pro affff
What should I wire loom?
I got a 07 accord imma get me a intake i have a exhaust leak ill have to fix but what other mods shall i get i did some replacement management on the engine area and my car is lifted when i got its i still gotta drop it eventually
My best advice is to make sure it’s mechanically stable before modifying it. Make sure you don’t have any worn out bushings or bearings, make sure your basic maintenance is up to date and then modify it. Nothings worse than dumping $5k into mods just to have a ball joint fail and cause you to total your car
@@OlsonAuto i just have to replace my lift for coils since my lift is worn and rusted and i gotta do work on engine like changin sruff small since i replaced my ac compressor. So as a daily driver doin good
Awesome! Once you got all the little stuff fixed I’d suggest wheels, suspension, and then engine work like an intake, exhaust, etc
You wouldn't want a cold air intake bro... It looks like you have rainy weather and going through any puddle with the cold air intake filter submerges and sucks in water your engine is done bro. Hope it sounded mean! I have a 2.4liter vtech 05 Honda Accord and I'm super stoked about putting it all back together!
I actually sold this car a few months back but I did actually think about the fact it could suck in rain water. I know there are some systems to avoid that but they're overly expensive thats for sure. Hope your build goes well! I've been wanting another accord since I sold mine.
Hydrolocking is really unlikely via CAIs, and is a common misconception. You pretty much need to submerge a firing engine in water to hydrolock it.
anyway splash guards are $40 and do well to protect the intake.
4:57 - am I the only person in the world who cant remove their MAF sensor? Mine only slides about halfway, then simply wont BUDGE. Do these things bulge or deform ever?
@@gelfeatherweight5335 if it got too hot , then MAYBE. It could be that the little space for it is broken or has something broken in it. I can't imagine the actual MAF sensor would bend or warp, though I do suppose it could because it's pretty flimsy.
Mine didn’t have that map sensor
Is there any way to make it work for a 2008 Honda accord EXL?
I assume they make a similar product for the 08, but you’d have to check. It’s pretty much the same engine but I’m not sure if the mounting is different
do you remember where you got the pads and rotors lol i know it’s been 2 years
eBay, i think it was a Detroit axle kit but I’m not entirely sure.
Bro I’m currently trying to performance out my 7th gen accord we should race sometime😂
I sold my accord a little over a year ago now, but they aren’t too hard to squeeze power out of if you boost it
Great video man, very motivated to buy a cold air intake, I’m buying a 05 Honda Accord 5spd tomorrow I can’t wait to do a lot of mods to it. Maybe swap to a K series
Here’s the fun part: the 05 accord already comes with a K series! Unless it’s a 6 cylinder, which is a J series.
@@OlsonAuto I’m stupid lol you sure right ajajaja, thank you
@@OlsonAuto where does it say k24 on the engine? I’m new to Honda’s and I’m buying some headers and manifold skunk 2 and I wanna make sure it’s the right part for my engine
@@Realm310 should say under the intake manifold on the right side of the engine, somewhere below the head I believe. Can also maybe run your vin online?
@@Realm310 if you have a 7th gen v4 accord itll be a k24
You’re better off keep the short RAM. The Cold air will pull a a bit more cool air, but not worth it because you’d be sacrificing HP for a tiny bit of cooler air and having more bends on the pipe. The least amount of travel means more HP. Humble Performance was tuning a Civic. The civic had a Cold Air intake that was long with quite a few bends. They swapped it out with a short RAM and gained 15HP! Just by using a short RAM. And the CAI’s filter they got rid of was at the same location you pointed out for the CAI you want to add. Nice ride!
Yeah that’s interesting actually, and it makes sense. I sold the accord back in January to buy a wrangler but I’m going to take that into consideration for my prelude.
Colder intake temps are much more important for small, low compression engines, especially the K24, than increasimg airflow.
Depending on where the peak power was measured, what intakes were compared, and what else is done to the engine, I don't doubt the SRI showing better results. Below 4500rpm, the SRI should show better than the CAI
But, CAIs will result in an overall better performance for small 4 cylinders than SRIs.
What part of Rhode Island you from I’m in north providence
I’m out in the woods by Connecticut, but it’s RI so you could be anywhere in the state and be within an hour lol
any idea on why mine could be making no noise ?
You mean you don’t hear the intake sound like in my video?
Now that you have had this installed for a while, has the cel come on at all ?
I actually sold the car back in january, but I did have a CEL. Im unsure if it was this, the aftermarket intake manifold I installed later, or something else that caused it, but it is possible it was the intake.
@@OlsonAuto why'd you sell?
@@OlsonAuto its because the car needs to be tuned after installing. you're giving the engine more air than its designed for.
My Accord ran lean after installing it 🥲 still have it on till this day
Check for vacuum leaks after the mass air flow sensor, especially with the two hoses. The short ram itself shouldn’t cause a lean code, it’s not letting in unmetered air, which is what a lean code is. You have a vacuum leak somewhere, could be at one of the couplers too
I like the sound of your muffler bro, do you have a link for it?
It was an OBX catback but I cannot recommend it, it totally sucked, the welds fell apart super fast and it fit like trash.
Thanks bro!
How’s your car bro, since the replacement... everything going well?
Yep, not a single issue to report!
@OlsonAuto how do u replace the filter when it gets dirty? Sorry if it’s a dumb question bro lol
Paulo Lizarzaburu not a dumb question at all! So you can clean these filters, videos online of how to do that, or if you just want to replace it autozone sells similar ones for $25 I think. Just have to make sure the inlet is the same size obviously so it fits! Hope this helps.
OlsonAuto THANK U SO MUCH BRO! You’re the best!
Where did you get the front bumper ?
stock front bumper with an ebay front lip. The seller I got mine from doesn't exist anymore but if you search for an accord lip you can find em
Whats the name from this front lip ??
Was actually just some cheap lip I found on eBay for like $60, hard to find now though. I’d prefer the HFP lip tbh but I sold the car a few weeks ago
3:30 thats you MAP sensor you need that for the fuel system
So my car doesn’t have that sensor, which is odd.
@@OlsonAuto some accords don't have that sensor my car is a 2003 and mine has it you're car probably doesn't have one there
Yeah I guess I’ll look more into it
bro you got a link to that front lip? 👁️👁️
I haven’t been able to find a link to the exact one I have (had, hit a bump and she’s gone lol) but I’ll be getting an HFP (Honda factory performance) lip soon, you can get a replica lip for like 150 and it’s way better than the one I had. Just search eBay and pick one you like, there are plenty
It looks like a "Magic Drift" front lip. Search "Magic Drift" on Epay....they're about $80
I just put that intake on my 2007 accord, but when I start my car it stays on for like 5 seconds and turns off, I took out the filter but the same thing happens, do you know what's happening?
Very odd, does it run fine during those 5 seconds or does it run rough?
@@OlsonAuto The engine starts fine, but it starts to turn off little by little like "drowning"
@@sebaso892 did you plug your mass air flow sensor back in? And make sure no vacuum lines were left disconnected?
@@OlsonAuto Yes, I plugged the sensor back into place, I just need to tie the red hoses so that they are secure, but they are properly inserted
@@sebaso892 interesting. It sounds like somewhere the car is getting “unmetered air” AKA, air is entering the engine AFTER the mass air flow sensor. Id double check all connections, hoses and clamps and then if none of that fixes it, go back to stock and see if that fixes it. There isn’t enough of a modification for this to prevent a car from running
My MAF sensor screw holes didn't line up.
Did you purchase the correct part?
hey so you need to flip that pipe upside down i had the same issue
any performance difference?
Actually yes! Not much in the low end, but from about 3000rpms-5500rpms, there’s a performance increase. Nothing crazy, but certainly worth it
Hey bro, do you have a link to the pads and rotors?
I believe I used Detroit axle brand, should be about 120 for 4 rotors and pads
@@OlsonAuto Thanks, they are up to $175 for the set now...
@@NJcozzi that’s crazy, I didn’t even buy the cheapest one when I got them, I think there was still one set cheaper.
What’s the link to the brake kits 👀
good luck finding that without a ton of internet searching. he got very lukcy
Did your car end up throwing a code because of the intake?
I believe it threw a code because of my upstream o2, which I had several issues with in the past. If you have a perfectly sealed system, the MAF sensor will detect all extra air and compensate, the issue is when you get more air AFTER the MAF
@@OlsonAuto I got an intake for my r18 civ, wondering if maybe the reason I get a code for lean bank 1 is because of sealing issues
@@MaxCaissie that would be my thought. A good way to check is to spray flammable brake clean (green) around all possible areas there could be air going in, all couplers, etc. if the idle raises, that’s where your vacuum leak is
Where did you get your front bumper?
Joey Hernandez front bumper is stock, but the little lip is from eBay, was maybe $50?
Did he ever Send u the link for the front lip?
@@OlsonAuto do you have a link for the lip??
@@andresalfaro4578 www.ebay.com/itm/332883002904 sorry for the late reply, youtube decided to not send me notifications about comments.
Where can I find the front lip?
Can u send the link please?
I’ve tried finding the link for the exact one I have, and I can’t seem to find it. The next one I’m getting is the HFP lip, and there are replicas on eBay for about $150
@@OlsonAuto I wanted the same one you have it looks good but can u send the links to the other ones?

where did you get the wing
eBay, it’s a 2007 coupe wing
Where did u get that lip front ???
Good ole’ eBay special. The exact listing is gone, so honestly you’d just have to look around.
Dam!...thanks tho
would this same intake fit on a ex accord? mines the same year as yours it’s just 4 door
Yup, as long as it’s e same k24a4 (all 4 cylinder accords 03-05) then it’ll fit!
So it won't fit my 2005 4 cylinder Accord?
Cold air intakes will reduce your low-end , and increase somewhat your upper end and given most people are light to light runs it's useless.. I enjoy my low-end torque doesn't matter to me about picking up 5 more horsepower after 80 mph you don't feel a 5 to 10 hp increase anyways .. On a modded motor it's different ,stock it's a waste of money .. Looks nice but that's it ,. it's open for debate but I've personally dyno proven it ...
Oh yeah it’s not really a big difference, this isn’t even a cold air. I just liked the look/sound
Send me the link for the exhaust I have the same car I can’t find a good exhaust for it brother I’ll appreciate it a lot if u do 🙏🏽
Here’s the link, just make sure it’s an 03-05 coupe with the 2.4 I4, would hate to have a sedan or something and have it not fit. www.ebay.com/itm/153631636339
Yeah is the right one brother I appreciate it a lot! I hope to see more content on ur accord 👏🏽
Will this exhaust fit an 06?
Fast boy
Soon my friend, very soon
A good SRI that comes tuned for K24 will run you $250
A good CAI that comes tuned for K24 (and doesn't require engine bay rearramgement) will be $350.
Spend the extra and get the CAI.
SRIs reduce hp at high rpm and increase hp at low rpm, while CAIs reduce hp at low rpm and increase hp at high rpm.
CAIs are better because the net gain (increase of power at high rpm minus loss of power at low rpm) is higher than SRIs, primarily due to the fact that SRIs do not lower intake temps, whereas CAIs do.
SRIs increase airflow more than CAIs, however, lowering intake temp is more important than increasing airflow for small engines with stock fuel injectors, especially our DOHC I-Vtecs that are already torque (eco) oriented.
Also, CAIs are generally better for your engine in the long run.
Do u still have it
Got rid of this car quite some time ago, actually about 3 years ago
Bro stop cutting out the literally most important parts 🤦🏽♂️
Does it work for Honda Accord 2007 v6 3L?

@@OlsonAuto appreciate 🤘🏽 I just purchased a car and the owner had it for 15 years no family so damn near perfect with barley 100k miles !

I see the check engine light on .
Yeahhhhh lol it was on for a bit. May have been the intake but I’m not entirely sure, I sold the car in January
I got the same intake. I got a 05 Honda Accord ex sedan . Got on ebay n question the seller few times . They said it's the right one . Got it put in n few minutes later check engine light goes on . Code reads converter. I had to buy a new one n remove the intake n put the old one back . But there's a different one that auto zone say goes in my car.
Yeah mine threw a few different codes, but I was also chasing other problems so it was hard to tell. Autozone probably recommended the K&N, I’m not sure if that’ll cause a CEL but worst case, you return it
@@alexcarrasco6180 Get one that is specific to the K24 engine, or tune it.
You're likely getting a catalyst efficiency code, which means your cats aren't working right, likely because you're running lean (too much airflow from new intake or you have a leak)
Short Ram intakes increase airflow, which is useless on our stock engines.
Cold Air intakes decrease intake temp, which increade horsepower, and you probably won't get that CEL.
I recommend Takeda, Injen, or K&N cold air
Bro it doesn’t have vtec at all. So at 4500rpm it does nothing different at all
I’d say my variable cam disagrees. Definitely has vtec 😂
You put way too much work into it, all you have to do is take out the airbox and the filter and replace just the air box with the cold air intake cone filter.
That looks a lot cleaner and no large silver pipe sticking out you don't have to undo anything else it's so simple like 5 minutes.
And at 11 minutes into the video you mentioned the thicker red whose with the little box you threw into the back of the pickup truck you don't need that at all you don't even need the hose all you do is delete the pcv and attach a open filter to the end of it and it sounds a lot better. That way the gases and the oils are not recycling them self.
I looked into a PCV delete but with it being my daily, fuel economy was my bigger concern. And yea, I could’ve kept the box and probably would’ve been better off but I just wanted to see how the kit was and to see if it was worth it. I recently sold the car but I wasn’t too upset with it, it performed decent. In the future and on my prelude I’ll just be making my own intake
@@OlsonAuto I was going to get a Prelude but the 04 Accord I have just hit 94,000 and I've had it for 2 years I don't really drive it too often plus I replaced all the speakers every so many months I clean the exhaust and the intake with seafoam and two weeks before the oil change I put half a bottle of seafoam in the oil and in the vacuum line.
I love my prelude, she’s a 1990, thing handles so well
Temp air sensor

It’s a pretty decent engine, took a lot of abuse I put it through lol
Brake clean on MAF and trobble body ? ✌🏻👀😎😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 You want to destroy other Cars
Brake clean is perfectly safe for MAF sensors as long as it’s non-chlorinated, which mine is. As for the “trobble body”, brake clean is also perfectly safe, not even sure why it wouldn’t be considering it’s just a chunk of metal.

Probably my past caffeine addiction fueled by mild ADHD and excitement for my shitty intake
First two minutes is him showing his tacky eBay mods save your time and skip foward 😐
Damn it’s almost like this was a budget build several years ago
No. These cheap ass eBay cold air intakes are rubbish. You are sucking in hot engine bay air and your actually loosing power not gaining power. All they do is make induction sound and create poor fuel economy and less power.
