Btw, in regards resetting the computer (ie: disconnecting the battery)... I never did this when I installed my intake. I just turned on my car, and left it to idle for around 10-15 minutes.
I haven't had any problems, but would I notice any differences by disconnecting the battery?

you would notice that all your settings are gone
even your trip millage, and HU settings other than that no, but when you reset you have to let your car idle for about 15 mins. i have a question for some of you techs, you know the air temp sensor right next to your MAF sensor on the stock air box? what would happen to your engine if that sensor was broken? would this affect when the engine cooling fans turn on and off?

the stock rubber tube works just fine...and i like it because its flexible and allowed me to adjust fitment of my homemade CAI perfectly....btw those metal tube intakes are natural heat conductors,so you are heating that "cold air" your bringing in....
also I never had one CEL with mine notta one!
homemade CAI
$250 CAI

Injen makes a Racing Division CAI for the 1.8L. My car was the prototype vehicle. It is not in any way like the 1.6L. Remember, the 1.8L and 2.0L are nearly identical except for displacement (FP-DE and FS-DE). The 1.6L is a completely different engine (ZM-DE). Contact Injen for the time-frame on the 1.8L CAI. I have had wonderful results with my CAI... from the awesome sounds to the fairly good gains to the wonderful throttle response. Here's some pics: If these fail to load, go to the bottom of http://www.caliprotegemeet.1hwy.com/mycar.html
The stock intake... how restrictive!

Look at the picture of my Injen CAI two posts up. The 1.8L and 2.0L intakes are, for all practical purposes, identical. You will have to move the coolant resevoir to the radiator bracket using it's top mount. There is no place to bolt the bottom mount unless you want to fabricate a bracket (mine isn't bolted at the bottom and it has not been a problem). You will also have to move the purge solenoid valve which is mounted on top of the stock intake just before the throttle body. Being very careful with the vacuum lines, move this to the wiring bracket that sits on top of the intake manifold.
When you remove the stock intake, you must keep the mass air flow (MAF) sensor and the intake air temperature (IAT) sensor. The MAF sensor is the large square sensor between the filter box and throttle body. The IAT sensor is the small sensor that fits into the back of the filter box. The MAF will fit between the two pipes connected via the rubber hose sections. The IAT will fit into the small predrilled hole on the pipe that goes down into the fender (a bracket is welded to this pipe).
The pipe with the smaller pipe welded to it attaches to the throttle body via the curved hose section. The thin, long hose attaches to this pipe's smaller pipe and fits onto the valve cover. The other section of pipe fits partially into the large hole that leads into the fender. The welded bracket is used to secure that pipe with the rubber mount that is provided.
The last thing to do is put on the cone filter. To do this, you must turn your wheels all the way to the right. Unscrew the splash panel behind the fender, inside the wheel well. From here, you should be able to fit the filter on.
Sorry for the crude directions. It shouldn't be that hard. Maybe someone here that installed the intake could give you better pointers. Otherwise, I'm sure Injen can e-mail or fax you instructions. Good luck!

Hmm...I installed my Injen Intake for the ZM 1.6 engine yesterday. I forgot to disconnect my negatize battery cable...whoops. Maybe I should do that now to reset the ECU???
The only thing that has concerned me about this intake is around 40-50MPH, in 4th gear after the torque converter locks down, I get this slight jerking from the car. It goes away once I speed up a little bit. Maybe I need to reset my ECU and make sure my MAF sensor is installed correctly??? It doesn't bother me too much, hardly noticeable.

totally off topic, but i was thinking the other day that if you want a "real" CAI, cut a hole through the firewall and run the tube into the cabin of the car. maybe run an a/c vent to it. just a thought though.

I don't know about the A/C either. I keep thinking it does it worse when it is on, but it also does it when it is off too. The only thing I could think of that is making it jerk like that is not enough air getting to the engine, or maybe the MAF isn't reading the air properly.
