Honda S2000 Seat Belt Lock Remote Installation

This product is to be used ONLY on the Honda S2000 and is intended to provide increased driver support when using the stock lap belt and shoulder harness. It is NOT to be used as a replacement for competition belts or at any event where 4 or 5-point restraint systems are required. This product uses an electro-magnet to activate the factory inertia-sensing mechanism built into the seat belt assembly. It does not alter the factory restraint system in any way and has no effect on the seat belt retractors or air bag system. It simply activates the “tilt” mechanism built into the seat belt, the one that normally kicks in only when you corner or brake very hard. Modifry’s Seat Belt Lock is relatively easy to install and can be quickly removed, leaving no trace it was there.

Installation
1. Prepare - Empty the trunk of anything breakable or that might get in the way of sitting in the trunk (really). Remove the spare tire access panel and the spare tire. Then slide and tilt the passenger seat as far forward as it will go. Note – I use the abbreviation “SBL” for the Seat Belt Lock, which is the black bracket with the electro-magnet attached.
2. Remove the access panel behind the passenger seat. Unsnap the screw covers on the two plastic hooks and then remove the screws. Carefully pull the panel out, starting at the bottom and working around the outer edge to release the clips that hold it in place.
3. Locate the accessory power socket wire harness. This wire loom goes under the glove box on the right. Pry apart the plastic (it’s split down the middle) and pull the black and white/red wires out in preparation for attaching the T-taps. If the two wires are not black and white/red STOP, you have the wrong wire loom.

Honda Throttle Linkage Kit Instruction

his kit is designed to fit both the 120&160 engine platforms. The only difference you will find between the 120 and the 160 engine is the direction the cable adjustment block is installed on the engine block.
1. Remove the stamped factory linkage plate and related hardware.
2. Check your carburetor and confirm the throttle arm (black plastic molded arm on the top of the throttle shaft) is in good working condition.
3. Install the Linkage Bridge to your engine using the two supplied metric socket head bolts. A drop of thread locking compound on each bolt is recommended to prevent bolts from coming loose from vibration and harmonics.
4. Install the Cable Adjustment Block to the engine using the factory bolt that was removed in step 1.
5. Bolt the Linkage Arm to the Linkage Bridge using the supplied Shoulder Bolt. Use a small drop of thread locking compound on the threads.
6. The Throttle Stop Eccentric can now be bolted to the Linkage Bridge using the supplied button head bolt. Do Not fully tighten the bolt until the final step. This eccentric is used as a throttle stop to prevent broken or worn carburetor parts as well as to set wide open throttle to the best performance position.
7. Bend your Linkage Rod to fit from the Linkage Arm to the throttle arm on the carburetor. It is important this fits proper to prevent linkage failure. We have formed one end of the linkage rod to fit the Linkage Arm. Each application is slightly different and will require the user to complete the bending on the throttle arm end.

2003-2006 Honda / Acura CD Changer Interface Model HONASX V.2 Installation

The HONASX can either provide up to 2 auxiliary audio inputs to your Honda radio for use with any device that has RCA line level outputs, or provides 1 auxiliary audio input and allows interfacing an aftermarket CD Changer. AUX 1 is the 8 pin DIN to RCA cable which plugs into the 8 pin DIN port on the HONASX interface. AUX 2 is the set of RCAs that are wired directly to the HONASX. These audio inputs are perfectly suited for Multimedia devices such as VCRs, DVD’s, Game Systems or TV tuners. Portable music players such as MP3, MD and CD players can utilize these inputs as well.

Installation and USE:
Using AUX1 & AUX 2 Inputs Without Aftermarket CD Changer
To select AUX 1 , make sure that the BROWN loop wire is connected, and the WHITE loop wire is disconnected. Press the CD/AUX button on the factory radio.
Audio will now pass through from the AUX 1 input and the radio will display: 1-You can select the AUX 2 input in two different ways:
1.) Activating AUX 2 using negative ground. Attach GRAY wire on the HONASX to a toggle switch that will ground the GRAY wire when selected; Make sure that the BROWN loop wire is connected, and the WHITE loop wire is disconnected. Be sure to insulate the ORANGE wire. Audio from AUX 1 will be interrupted, and audio from the AUX 2 input will pass through. The factory radio will display: A
2.) Activating AUX 2 using positive turn-on. If the Multimedia/Auxiliary device you are using is equipped with a 12V turn-on output, connect it to the ORANGE wire on the HONASX. Make sure that the BROWN loop wire is connected, and the WHITE loop wire is disconnected. Be sure to insulate the GRAY wire to insure that it does not come in contact with chassis ground.

HONDA CRF450X Flywheels Installation Instructions

INSTALL FLYWHEEL
1. Drain 20% of the oil from the bike first.
2. Shut the gas supply off on the bike, then lay it over on its side. A small amount of gas will leak from the overflow tubes when the bike is first laid down.
3. Remove shifter.
4. Remove bolts holding the side cover on (no need to remove one of the oil filter bolts).
5. Remove oil fill cap.
6. Disconnect clutch cable and lay cable out of the way.
7. Remove side case and lay it next to the main case to avoid removing any wires. TAKE CARE - do not allow the two alignment pins to come loose from the side case. They CAN stay in the side case or in the main case, but you don’t want them to fall out and get lost; or, even worse, dropped in the oil for later consumption by the motor!!
8. Use a 17mm deep socket and impact ratchet to remove the flywheel retaining nut. If an air ratchet is not available, hold the rear wheel while removing the 17mm flywheel nut. Note: If a Deep socket is not used damage to the crankshaft oiler may occur.
9. Use flywheel puller to remove the flywheel. Remember to install protective nut on to crankshaft to avoid damage to end of flywheel. Note: there is a small hole on the shaft that allows for oil flow to the crankshaft - using the correct flywheel puller will protect this hole.
10. Install new flywheel and torque flywheel bolt to manufactureer specification. Do not use thread locking compound. Use the woodruff key on the crank to line up the keyway on the flywheel with the crankshaft.
11. For ease of assembly, connect clutch cable before installing bolts.
12. Replace the side case. Use a new gasket if necessary. Torque side case bolts to 7 foot pounds. Do not overtighten these bolts! Replace the shifter. Make sure the bolt threads in smoothly - cross threading is easy. You will need a Honda CRF flywheel puller (TT part# 6600-P02) for this installation. An impact ratchet is also highly recommended.

Note: Trail Tech CRF450X flywheel is provided with one M6×25MM BHCS to replace the timing chain guide bolt (A), and a M6×12 BHCS to replace the guide retainer bolt (B). These bolts allow for the flange on the exterior of the flywheel to clear the fasteners. Trail Tech is not liable for any damage due to the improper installation or lack of installation of these bolts. Contact Trail Tech Tech-Support for further questions.

99-00 Honda Civic SI-B16A2 Boost Upgrade Installation Instructions

This kit has been engineered to be an easy, bolt on upgrade to your standard Jackson Racing supercharger kit. It will raise your boost approximately 2 psi. As such, it has been designed to be a “Race Only” kit. Because of the “Race Only” design criteria, the C.A.R.B. Exemption Order number supplied with your Jackson Racing Supercharger Kit does NOT cover this product. Therefore, this racing boost upgrade is legal in California only on racing vehicles, which may never be used upon a highway. Other states may have laws governing the use of this product. Check local regulations before installation. Our kit was designed with and performs best when used with a good header, cat-back exhaust, and a good high flow air filter. Other non-specified accessories or engine components may affect your specific boost and horsepower output.

A qualified technician should install this Boost Upgrade Kit. Although it has been designed to be easily installed, every racing modification should be tuned and tested with the proper tuning equipment. We require that any cut wires be soldered and shrink wrapped for protection. This will ensure that all connections are solid and stable.

For the “Do It Yourself” installer, the following tuning hints can help you verify if your vehicle is performing properly or needs further help. Any vehicle that has an Oxygen Sensor (O2) can test its air to fuel ratio (air/fuel) using a standard digital voltmeter.

Connect the positive side of your volt-meter into the signal output wire on your O2 sensor. Connect your voltmeter ground wire to a good chassis ground. At Wide Open Throttle (WOT), with the car completely warmed up, you should be reading voltage from the O2 sensor of .84v (approximately 13-1 air/fuel ratio) to a voltage of .93v (approximately 12-1). A reading of .90 is preferred, but a voltage fluctuation from slow RPM to high RPM is normal. Do not expect the voltage to stay at one continuous level throughout the entire test. In some cases you will have a slightly over rich mixture at low speed in trade for a good even mixture at high speed.

94-97 Honda Accord Sniper Hood Part Instructions

STEP 1: Adjust hood until proper alignment with matching panels is achieved.
STEP 2: Adjust primary latch until it fits into the bar on the hood. Make sure when the hood is closed you can hear the latch “click” onto the hood.
STEP 3: After you here it click, test it to be sure it’s working properly by grabbing the front edge of the hood and slowly pulling upward with a steady even pressure. If the hood opens it’s not adjusted properly; repeat STEP 2 until hood cannot be pulled open after it’s closed.
STEP 4: Make sure the safety catch hook grabs onto its matching bracket on the hood.
STEP 5: To ensure the safety catch is working properly, close the hood, pull the hood release from inside the car and the hood will partially open. Slowly pull upward on the hood and jiggle it at the same time. If it opens without pulling the safety catch lever then it needs to be readjusted. The safety catch prevents the hood from opening in the event the primary latch fails.
STEP 6: Locate the hood stoppers located on each side of the radiator support. Adjust them until they apply a small amount of pressure to the underside of the hood when it is closed. This will prevent the hood from shaking or rocking.
STEP 7: For installation of squirters, follow Fig. A. Install the provided tubing clips in the pre-drilled holes under the hood to secure the hoses. Our application has 1 squirter. You will need to shorten one hose for this application.

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.
