3. FINAL CHECKS/CLEARANCES

Because of the larger intake manifold being utilized, even in a confirmed vehicle,
there are some close interferences where precautions may need to be made. The
two major concerns are shown below. The IAC valve and TP sensor connector will
get close to the radiator and upper radiator hose. Depending on the type of
radiator, radiator fan, radiator placement, and upper radiator hose being used,
there may be a possible interference concern in this area. Additionally, the EVAP
canister purge valve atop the K20A/A2/A3/Z1 throttle body may prohibit closure of
some hoods. It may be a requirement to bend in or cut a small piece out of the
inner skeleton in order to close the hood on your vehicle. Another option is to
completely remove the EVAP valve altogether (an additional rubber plug is
provided to plug the unused port with EVAP valve removal). It will be at the sole
discretion of the installer to resolve any potential issues in these areas.














With regards to a 2002-2006 Acura RSX-S/Honda ITR, the above mentioned issues
will be of no concern; however, reconfiguration of the stock AC brackets will be
required (as shown below). Additionally, the hood stay holder will need to be
removed/modified on that chassis.















Note: An RSX-S Injen CAI will mount directly up to a 2002-2006 Acura RSX-
S/Honda ITR utilizing an RBC/RRB intake manifold and this adapter.
