so i know i have to disconnect the bat, how do i get the codes for the radio or will i even need to?

also some people said they have to oil the filter before they put it on how will i know i need to on mine?

its a fujita f5 with maf. thanks for the help.

 

Most if not all oiled filters come pre-oiled from factory..

Radio Codes can be retrieved through honda of America,inc.

 

y would u have to disconect the battery when installing a intake?

 

to be safe.

 

and i imagine for the room to work with.

 

Since it resets the ecu, it supposedly tells the engine it is going to be getting more air. It doesn't hurt to do it. I did it when I put my intake in.

 

so just take the wires right off the battery before i install and hook it right back up when im done??

 

yes, on video it said they just disconnected the negitive, i might be swithing it out for an optima that day any whay

 

Disconnect negative first, then positive. Radio codes are on a plastic business card thingy in the owners manual case thinger. You can also get teh code by calling the dealer or registering on Honda Owner Link, but it's easier to get it before you disconnect the battery.

I'm starting to believe resetting the ECU is a myth... the ECU determines fuel and spark in open loop by using the O2, MAF, MAP, TPS, etc. sensors to determine exactly what the engine is doing. In closed loop (activated by mashing the throttle), the ECU starts reading a chip (read: this is how chipping a Honda works) with preset fuel and spark values for every RPM and manifold pressure. You can't change the factory chip and you can't easily change sensor values by adding these things, so that's why i think resetting the ecu is bogus.

 

yup the card is called an Anti-Theft radio I.D. Card.it has a code and a serial number on it. when i switched my battery out from piece of **** to the red top i didn't need to do anything.just swap and go. i also have an aftermarket head unit?
