It's just like fitting a Gruppe M.......but Gruppe provide instructions and as of yet Tegiwa don't, so I thought as myself and Stevo M81 fitted one today to his car I'd a write up of it. The kit looks like this straight outta the box.....
1. Obviously start off by removing the OEM kit.....or what ever kit you have in, then take the iVTEC cover aswell just to get better access to the TB. In stephens case he had a Tegiwa induction hose aswell to fit.
2. Fitting the heatshield.....You use the bolt holes from the OEM induction kit, place the curved end to the left with the bracket attached. Use an OEM bot for the right hand side to secure it down 1st,
We encountered a problem next, with the Gruppe M kit they provide a spacer for the next bit Tegiwa do not.....but we used a metal spacer thing off the OEM box and it did the trick.
As you can see the bracket hole goes over an already existing metal piece with threads.....these threads do not go all the way down so a nut on it's own will not secure it down you need a spacer.
Now once the nut get's tightened down it will actually secure the heatshiled in place
3. Removing the old scuttle panel.
Pretty simple, undo the small plastic push in button things at the base of the scuttle, then remove the rubber bit on the far right, then be FIRM and pull towards yourself and slightly to the right.
4. putting on the induction hose.
Very simple, just needs patience and a bit of wiggeling to get on.
5. Assembling the kit.
Place the filter inside the airbox
The next bit is secure the 2 black pieces together with the golden coloured bolts, the heads of the bolts are ment to be on the INSIDE of the kit. On of the pictures here as them in the wrong place........the 2nd picture has them in the correct way. Attach the bracket on the top left bolt.
Once this is done attach the big silver bit over where all the pieces meet to secure them all down.
6. Putting the kit in the engine bay
Slide the kit in to the induction hose and try and get the bracket matched up with the bolt hole...
What you need to do is move the heatshield bracket as far LEFT as possible as it provides room to do this, the bit at the bottom of the picture.
Once this is done the holes will line up.....all be it with a little pressure on the kit to ensure they are in line. Then screw a bolt in.
7. All the niggely bits.
Once the kit is in the big bolt sticking out of the heatshield will rub against the kit....scratching it. The bolt closest to the camera
We put a rubber band thing around it to stop it rubbing against the kit....
Then we put some FOAM behind the kit where it touches the scuttle panel. Tegiwa supply Velcro strips....we did not use these as Stevo is getting a scuttle from SimonB next week....we will attach the velcro to that instead.
Then stand back and admire what you have done.....
The sound is awesome........guess what it's just like a GM if not a bit louder Good kit, great quality, awkward to fit tbh.....but so is the GM.
All in all I have to give Tegiwa respect for producing the kit and being £300 why buy a GM
I hope this is helpful in some way for someone :thumbup: :salut:
