if you got a swap like B16 or Type R get the AEM Type R CAI cause the piping is 3".. it worked on my EK with Type R swap and has the best gains for a CAI.

Use it as a short ram instead or drill/punch out a hole

There should be an indentation in front of the wheel well in the engine bay. You can cut that out and vwala, you have a hole for a CAI.

congrats dumbass, he means there isn't a hole to put the intake through, like on the Ej8's where the stock air box goes through and where your aftermarket intake would go through.


I'd say start cutting and drilling a hole. not like you can really hurt anything. Just be careful of your A/c lines there.

You can use the AEM ITR CAI, but you're going to have to relocate the radiator overflow reservoir.

This is based on pics I have seen through the ages..

I'm not sure if yours would run the same way as mine, but i have an ek and a gsr swap, my aem hybrid cai runs down beside the wheel well and then back underneath the splash guard.
You could always get a custom one made for likley cheaper than buying a name brand one to run like that, if you dont want to cut your wheel well out.
