Default Just introducing...

I finally bought a Honda and I've never been more pleased.
My car:
2001 Accord EX
2.3L ULEV-VTEC
5-Speed Manual Transmission
Bomz SRI

This is the first car I've had that I can do any kind of performance mods too, so I'm excited. I just put the SRI in last week and it sounds great. I'm sure I'll ask more than one stupid question on here, so bear with me.

Thanks, Paul

Welcome to the forum! With that intake you may want to upgrade your filter. I would, but thats me, I dont trust eBay cheap ones.

I do plan on upgrading to the DryFlow as soon as I can, seeing as how that seems to be the SRI filter of choice. Nevertheless, the SRI is nice. Adds a nice little kick.

After installing your intake did you get a check engine light? I got one and the directions said to disconect the batt cable to reset. then a few days later it came back on.If you could help that would b great thanks.

The only time i got an engine light was when i forgot to hook up the sensor behind the intake, but after plugging it back in, it reset after 3 or 4 starts.

You need to reset your ECU.

To do this:
Disconnect negative battery cable
Open all doors
Let sit for a minimum of 10 minutes
Shut doors
Reconnect negative batt. cable
Start Car
Let it idle for 7-10 minutes WITHOUT touching the gas or moving the car @ all. This is its 'learning' period. After 10 minutes take a drive like you normally would and there you have it!
