Packing & Caring For Your Giant Loop Saddlebag

Packing Tips
• Do not overstuff or over-load Saddlebag. The whole concept here is to tour with the lightest load possible. Go lighter, go faster.
• See fig A. Pack sleeping bag first by pulling through one side opening and out the other to distribute volume evenly. Then, pack other items to evenly distribute the load from side-to-side. Last things to go in: tools and rain gear.
• To avoid wearing through the pack from vibrations, pack all sharp and/or hard items inside a protective layer. For example, create a sleeve for tire irons from a section of old inner tuber and pack other tools in Dave’s Oil Bottle Toolkit; wrap other hard items in clothing.
• Use compression straps to secure tent, tarp, bivy sack, sleeping pad, rain gear and other lightweight items to outside of bag.
• Although Giant Loop Saddlebags are water resistant, they are not totally dust or waterproof. These are built with 1050 Ballistic Cordura, literally the toughest product we could find but if you are going to be in torrential rain, pack gear inside heavy-duty trash bags or waterproof stuff sacks, then secure in or on bag. Been there and that actually works.
• Visit our website at GiantLoopMoto.com for more tips from riders and instructions for creating Dave’s Oil Bottle Toolkit and Inner Tube Sleeve.

Care & Washing
• Do not overstuff or over-load Saddlebag. Consult your motorcycle’s owner’s manual and do not exceed the total gear and rider weight limitations for your bike. Remember: the Giant Loop Saddlebag is all about going ultra-light. Pack only what you need, nothing more or less (see Packing Tips).
• Avoid exposure to fuel, solvents, lubricants and excessive UV from direct sunlight.
• Hand wash Saddlebag with mild soap (like Simple Green), rinse with clean water and air dry (preferably not in direct sunlight).
• To neutralize and remove residue from alkai desert soils, wash Saddlebag with a mild vinegar and water solution (one tablespoon vinegar to one gallon of water). Rinse thoroughly with fresh water and air dry.

HyperDrive Startup Guide

Remove the handle and mount it to the side of the engine with three, 3/8″ bolts. Be careful not to stretch the handle wires and cables. The washers and nylock nuts installon the inside of the handle mount near the slots. The handle bolts must be snug enough to hold the handle firmly, but yet allow the handle to move up and down freely.

Unscrew the mounting clamps wide enough to easily slip over your transom. Do not use tools to tighten the clamp handles.
Mounting: When you mount the motor, it will be 1″ off center, away from the operator side of the boat, or to the left when standing near the transom facing the bow. (the Hyper propeller runs on the surface and pulls slightly to the left. By offsetting the engine, this helps reduce prop torque.) Place a mark at that point to facilitate quick mounting. When you run the Hyper, if it still pulls, you can bend the lower skeg (which is already prebent). Only do this after you have run the motor an hour or so and get accustomed to the tilt and trim adjustment. If the engine is trimmed up too far, it will also pull to one side.
- Carefully lift the motor and set it on the transom. Again, being careful not to jar or tweak the handle mounting cups. When in place, snug up the mounting clamps hand tight. If you have an older boat with a worn or a weak transom, you can add a piece of plywood or metal plate between the boat and mounting clamps. Two mounting bracket holes are provided in the mount face if you want to add 3/8″ bolts to the mount. They help hold the engine in place and deter theft.
- Connect the battery cables to the battery. We provided a group 24 size battery box. We recommend a group 24 marine cranking battery with 550 cranking amps or more. Red to (+) and black to ( -). Rotate the engine back and forth to ensure the cables travel freely.
- Electric Tilt and Trim: Read the cautions for its use on the control panel. Most importantly, don’t force the drive up or down with the handle while the actuator is running. Do not rock the actuator control back and forth causing the motor to forward and then in reverse while running. This can cause premature failure. Engine Oil: Add oil to your engine. Use a good grade of synthetic 10W-30 oil. Check the dipstick with the engine in the level position. You can use a synthetic or synthetic blend.

ECT Display Driver – Installation for AP2 Module

The ECT Display Driver is a small module with a removable wire harness that mounts behind the driver’s foot well cover. All wiring connections are near the ECM and only 4 wires are needed for basic operation:
• +5v power from the ECM (T-tap)
• Ground – available at ECM mounting bolt
• ECT sensor wire (T-tap at ECM)
• Dash temperature gauge wire (must cut at ECM)

If you want to use the optional Alarm Output feature 3 more wires are needed:
• Ground (must be run separate from the module’s power ground)
• Module output (negative) to your alarm device (sounder or indicator light, not included)
• +12v ignition or accessory power wired directly to your alarm device

Installation Details: refer to the photos and wiring diagram at the end of this manual
1. Remove the driver’s side doorsill trim and the driver’s foot well trim. (if you don’t know how to do this you probably shouldn’t be doing this modification)
2. Locate the connectors and wires you will be using, see photos at the end of this manual.
a. Temperature gauge wire (Yellow/Green) – Easily seen at the top left of connector A on the ECM.
b. Power wire for +5v (Yellow/Blue) – This is on the rear-most row of wires on connector C, in the ‘middle’ section of the connector. You will have to remove connector C from the ECM to locate this wire
c. ECT Sensor wire (Red/White) – This is also on the rear-most row of wires on connector C, in the ‘middle’ section of the connector.
3. Attach crimp connectors to the ECM wires as detailed below.
a. Using a pair of pliers, clamp one of the red T-taps around the Yellow/Blue wire in connector C, making sure the wire goes into the metal slot of the T-tap. If you have strong fingers you can squeeze the T-tap on the wire to hold it temporarily, then use the pliers to clamp it shut. Or, you can position the T-tap in the pliers’ jaw, then clamp it on the wire.
b. Crimp another T-tap around the Red/White wire in connector C.
c. Now cut the Yellow/Green wire a few inches away from the ECM and strip about ž” of insulation from each end.
d. Using a crimp tool, crimp a female spade connector on the end of the Yellow/Green wire that comes from the ECM.
e. Next crimp a male spade connector on the other end of the Yellow/Green wire (the end going into the wire bundle).
f. Note that the ends of the Yellow/Green wire have opposite connectors. If you ever have to remove the ECT Module you simply plug these connectors together and the temperature gauge will work like normal.

1998-2002 Honda Accord 4 Cyl. Cold Air System Installation

The AEM Cold Air System differs from all others in several ways. We take the inlet air from outside of the engine compartment where the inlet air is considerably cooler than the hot under hood air. The cooler inlet air temperature translates to more power during the combustion process because cool air is denser than warm air. AEM has conducted extensive inlet-air temperature studies and we have seen temperature reductions of up to 50 degrees by pulling air from outside of the engine compartment. Because of the increased airflow and reduced inlet temperature, the air-mass flow to the engine increases, this translates to more power.

Our system is constructed of lightweight aluminum and then painted with a zirconia based powder coat for superior heat insulating characteristics. The aluminum will not crack in extended use like plastic and it is actually lighter than plastic. For each engine, we match the tube’s diameter and length to promote power over a broad rpm range. Unlike the plastic systems that use a continually diverging cross section, we take advantage of the acoustical energy in the duct to promote cylinder filling during the intake valve-opening event.

Read and understand these instructions BEFORE attempting to install this product.
1. Make sure vehicle is parked on a level surface.
2. Set parking brake.
3. Disconnect negative battery terminal.
4. If engine has run within the past two hours let it cool down.
5. The following items will be removed from the vehicle.
(a) The OE inlet tube
(b) The air filter case
(c) Intake air noise resonators.
6. Removal of intake air tube.
(a) Disconnect the breather hose from the intake tube. The hose consists of a section of metal tubing between the intake tube and the cam cover.
7. Removal of air filter case.
(a) Remove the two mounting bolts for the air filter case and lift the case out.
8. Preparing the vehicle to accept the Cold Air System.
(a) From underneath the vehicle, remove the engine splash shield and the front left plastic fender liner.
i) The front plastic under-tray can be removed entirely for installation of the Cold Air System and the fender liner can be temporarily folded such that it does not interfere with the installation.
(b) Remove the bolts holding the lower resonator assembly and pull the assembly out from underneath the vehicle.
(c) Remove the two bolts securing the diagonal fender brace that is mounted between the battery and the passenger-side fender.

Double-DIN in the Honda S2000 Installing

Honda’s S2000 is famous for its high revving engine, but also infamous for its low- view factory radio placement. Not only is Honda’s factory radio placed very low in the dash, but it is also only single-DIN. While single-DINs were the norm in Japanese cars years ago, today most Japanese cars are double-DIN. Ernest Ornate and Junior Ngim of Sound Innovations in Hayward, Calif., show a great way to put a double-DIN video unit higher up in the dash of a Honda S2000. Ernest notes to make sure to inform the customer that he will lose airflow to the passenger air vent due to the removal of all ductwork leading from the blower motor to the vent.

Installation:
1.Draw the dimensions of the radio’s chassis onto the dashboard using a wax pencil. Notice that the airbag was removed to allow for access to the radio’s new location. BE SURE TO DISCONNECT THE BATTERY BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO REMOVE THE AIR BAG! The airbag can be taken out by removing three 10mm bolts located underneath the knee bolster.
2.Make sure that your drawing is at least a quarter of an inch larger all the way around to allow for a double-DIN sleeve that we will be inserting later.
3.Cut four pieces of ABS plastic to the size of the radio chassis and glue them together in order to construct a double-DIN sleeve. Using instant CCA glue with accelerator, stretch grill cloth from the front of the radio opening to the fabricated ABS DIN sleeve.
4.Spread resin and lightweight chop mat over the grille cloth.
5.Cut out the double-DIN hole and tape off the edges with masking tape. The duct that used to go to the passenger’s vent was removed to allow room for the new radio’s position. Use duct tape to close off the vent outlet so warm air does not blow directly onto the radio.

1992–1995 Honda Civic Cold Air System Installation Instructions

The AEM Cold Air System is the result of extensive development on a wide variety of cars. Each system is engineered for the particular application. The AEM Cold Air System differs from all others in several ways. We take the inlet air from outside of the engine compartment where the inlet air is considerably cooler than the hot underhood air. The cooler inlet air temperature translates to more power during the combustion process because cool air is denser than warm air. AEM has conducted extensive inlet air temperature studies and we have seen temperature reductions of up to 50 degrees by pulling air from outside of the engine compartment. The air mass flow to the engine is increased because of the increased airflow and reduced inlet temperature, which translates to more power. The AEM Cold Air Systems are 50 states Street Legal (some model and years still pending) and come with complete instructions for ease of installation.

Removing the stock air inlet system
a) Remove the stock air box assembly and attaching hardware from inside the fender well.
b) Disconnect breather hose from the air inlet tube.
c) Disconnect the water bypass hose from throttle body or the fast idle thermo valve, where equipped, located at the lower portion of the throttle body. Disconnect the opposite side of the water bypass hose, which runs to either the intake manifold or the water outlet neck. Remove the entire water bypass hose and breather hose assembly from the vehicle.
d) Loosen and remove the air inlet tube from the throttle body.
e) Jack the front of the vehicle and support using properly rated jack stands.
i) Remove the lower front splashguard.
ii) Remove the front right tire and remove the inside splashguard (inner fender liner).
f) Remove the resonator from underneath the vehicle.

2000–2003 Honda S2000 Center Grille Installation Instructions and Care guide

Step 1 – Place the grille inside the opening. The grille should conform to the center opening on the car and fit snugly. This will actually provide the support for the grille.
Step 2 - Use a pencil or magic marker to mark the holes where you want to route the zip ties. On the center grille, the cable ties will attach to the plastic OEM grille slats.
Step 3 – Route a zip tie through an opening in the grille (from the back) and then through the front of the grille via an adjacent hole. Unless you have tiny hands, you may need to attach a second zip tie to the end of the first to add length.
Step 4 - Wrap the zip ties around or thru the OEM grille slates. Now, complete the zip tie loop, go ahead and push the zip tie “tail end” thru the back of the grille and out the front. This way you will be able to pull tight from the front side. Loosely fasten the zip tie, do not tighten at this point. Repeat steps 3 & 4 for the other sides. You can add as many as you like but two cable ties should be plenty. Each cable tie has a 40 pound tensile strength rating, you grille only weighs a pound or so, don’t over do it.
Step 5 – Go back and secure each zip tie by pulling slightly on each one. Use an alternating pattern. This will ensure the grille is pulled in evenly and has a secure even fit. Do not over tighten, it is possible to damage the grille insert during this step. Clip off excess cable material.

Side Grille Installation Procedure:
Step 1 – Place the grille insert inside the opening. You may need to push the trim out a little to get the best fit. We won’t worry about fine tuning the fit until we get the side grilles attached.
Step 2 - Use a pencil or magic marker to mark the holes where you want to route the zip ties (4 places). On the side grilles we will be drilling some small holes. A 5/32” drill bit works well but you may want to go up one size if you have large hands, this will make things easier. Approximate locations are shown in the picture below.
Step 3 – Your markings should look similar to this, now let’s go ahead and drill the holes.
step 4 – We will have to go beneath the car and remove a couple of pop rivets and some screws so we can get our hand behind the panel for the side vent. The view below is from underneath, use the tire as a reference point. Go ahead and remove these fasteners and drop the plastic panel down so we can get our hand behind. (this is a typical configuration for most late model Hondas)

The Ultimate Honda Engine Swap Guide

Humankind has made a habit of one-upping the creator when it can benefit in some material sense. We figured out early on that playing match-maker to an ass and a horse produced a creature with the strength and stamina of a horse, but the nimble sure-footedness of an ass. (That would be a donkey for those of you not up on your cross-breeding techniques.) Given that as enthusiasts, we all want our cars to run like a thoroughbred and handle like, well... an ass, the notion of installing a larger engine in a lighter chassis is appealing. The same rules that apply in nature pertain to the automotive world as well: The more closely related the parent forms, the more likely they are to produce a viable hybrid. Dropping a B16A from a Japanese domestic market Civic Type R into a US-spec Civic will be a whole lot easier, cheaper and more successful than dropping an NSX engine into the same car—though this has not stopped people from trying.

Unlike many manufacturers who often use a small number of different engines for their entire vehicle line, and do so for decades (ala Chevy and the 350), Honda has produced just a few four-banger engine series, but a dizzying number of variants. Combine Japanese domestic market engine choices with the same engine designation but higher output, as well as European market Hondas, and owners have a smorgasboard of engine variants to choose from. Some engines, of course, are scarcer and more desired than others, leading to an unfortunate amount of Honda theft, though there are always engines with papers available (the only kind you want). Cars are not given the option of signing a donor card; should a Lincoln Navigator decide to back-half an Integra Type R, enthusiasts will arrive on the scene to strip the carcass of the engine faster than "1-800-SUE-4-YOU" lawyers can find whiplash victims.

Encouraged by the number of serious, performance-minded enthusiasts that comprise the Honda hybrid community, we are beginning a quest to comprehensively catalog every one of the reasonably feasible engine swaps. This quest begins in this issue, as we show the relatively easy swap of a B18B1 into a fifth-generation Civic hatchback (starting on page 136). Our engine swapping madness will not be confined to Hondas, either, as there are some very successful and well-tested hybrids with something other than H on the valve cover.

The following tables are our first stab at untangling the complex web of engines, chassis, parts and kits that comprise the brave new hybrid world. The chart above will help you decide which swap to attempt, while the table on the next page will help you find the donor engine. Look forward to more parts guides and other technical info for engine swaps in upcoming issues. The charts published in this issue can help render you a more educated buyer when selecting a engine, chassis, or transmission for your project (look for an upcoming Honda tranny guide to help better negotiate that particular quagmire)

Installation of the charging socket.
Ensure ignition is off and IMA battery switch under the rear cover is in the off position for at least 10 minutes prior to installation. Note the RED switch lock tab has to be removed to allow the IMA battery switch to be moved.
Remove all the IPU compartment cover star drive and 10mm bolts.
Remove the small 8mm black bolt from IMA Main Battery switch area. This is located to the right of the switch when looking in from rear of the vehicle.
Remove the right hand side aluminium plate 10mm bolts behind the rear trim, and the 2 or 3 black plastic trim clips that push into the IPU cover through the plate. Remove the IPU cover.
Check the IMA battery main terminals with a 200V DC meter to ensure no voltage is present.
Remove the nut from the rear of the supplied charging socket and drill a hole through the aluminium of the IPU compartment to suit the threaded socket. Insert the socket and replace nut. Feed the wires to the IMA battery connection points avoiding sharp edges and other wires if possible, use tie wraps, cable clips or similar to avoid chaffing and maintain neatness.

Remove the polystyrene packing from the MDM module on the left hand side.
Remove the earth wire from the Battery to MDM by removing the 10mm painted red bolt on the MDM module and the plastic cable clip securing the orange earth wire. You need to move this wire to allow access for your hand between the IMA Battery and Motor Drive Module.

Remove the Negative terminal bolt and fit the supplied ring terminal under the bolt then retighten.

Note. You do not need to remove the IMA Battery to install the charging socket.

Remove the ž” spade connector from resistor as indicated below. You need a slim hand for this, and I suggest wear a rubber glove, keeping your other hand in your pocket. Note the black plastic spade connector has a pip/button which must be pushed in to release it from the connector. A screwdriver may also be necessary to help ease it off. Push the supplied ž” terminal onto the resistor and then push the black spade connector onto the piggy back connector.

1. Pull the emergency brake up to prevent the car from moving while you work. Looking down at the shift knob, turn the jam nut beneath the shift knob clockwise using a 14 mm wrench to loosen it.
2. Remove the shift knob by rotating it counter clock-wise and remove the nut from the shifter shaft.
3. Pull up on the shifter bezel to remove it with the stock shift boot attached.
4. Remove the four torx screws on the bottom of the bezel. Pull out the shift boot and the plastic ring attached to the base of the boot.
5. Remove the staples holding the shift boot to the plastic ring. A small flat head screwdriver or needle nose pliers can be used to pry the staples out.
6. Remove the shift boot from the plastic ring.
7. Turn the shift boot inside out. With wire cutters or scissors snip the zip-tie at the top of the shift boot and discard the zip tie.
8. With the white zip-tie removed you will now be able to remove the black plastic retainer ring.

2007-08 Honda Fit M/T & A/T Base Injector Upgrade Installation Manual

SECTION 1: PRE-INSTALLATION PRECAUTIONS:
Step 1: Remove the negative battery cable. Before removing the battery cable, verify that you have the “anti theft” radio code. It is usually located in your owner’s manual or on the side of the glove compartment. If you cannot find the radio code, take your car to your local Honda dealer so that they can retrieve the code through the Honda computer network.
SECTION 2: INJECTOR INSTALLATION
Step 2: Remove the plastic cosmetic cover from the intake manifold.
Step 3: Remove the five 12mm headed bolts/nuts that hold the plastic upper intake manifold to the aluminum lower manifold. Be careful when these two manifolds are not bolted together. Errant bolts/nuts or debris could fall into the intake manifold and cause severe engine damage. It is recommended that you cover the lower intake runners with protective tape or a shop towel.
Step 4: Remove the gas cap and remove any residual pressure from the fuel tank. Always use safety glasses while performing this operation.
Step 5: Remove the plastic safety cover from the fuel line/fuel rail connector. Push the safety clips from each side of the fuel line and gently remove the fuel line from the fuel rail. Have a shop towel ready for any high pressure residual fuel that might spray from the fuel rail.
Step 6: Unbolt the 10mm headed bolt that holds the fuel rail security tab to the cylinder head. It is located under the throttle body.
Step 7: Remove the fuel injector wiring harness plastic cover from the metal tabs on the fuel rail. Remove the fuel injector wiring clips from the injectors.
Step 8: Remove the two 10mm flanged nuts from the top of the fuel rail mounting studs.
Step 9: Lift the fuel rail from the engine compartment.
Step 10: Remove the injector retaining clips from the injector and the fuel rail one clip at a time. Remove and reinstall one injector at a time so that you don’t forget how they are installed.
Step 11: There are metal tabs on the fuel rail that the plastic housing was clipped into. These metal tabs will make reinstalling the fuel rail with the taller RC injectors difficult. If you prefer, you can cut the tabs off the rail with a pair of “tin snips.”If you want to leave the metal tabs in place, it will require you to insert the injectors into the cylinder head first before installing the fuel rail onto the injectors, and it will be more difficult. Listed below is a general guideline to fuel injector installation with the tabs removed.
