I finally installed my B18B1 into my 93 CX hatch......

Actually, everything was pretty freaking simple.....but I don't have and intake/airbox. What intake pipe is going to fit? civic? Del sol?... I'm really not sure, so anybody know?

you can use the stock civic one, or just throw an aftermarket short ram on there from pep boys for like $20 bucks...

my stock filter with the gsr intake pipe...it looks like it fits snug but it is a little loose...but it works and it doesn't come out.

You have to buy an intake for your engine.

WoW!

You just gave me a GREAT idea!!!

I'm running a stock CiViC Si airbox (w/ K&N panel filter) on my B16A2-EJ7 but I wanted to get rid of the ^%$# resonator!

I was actually *thinking* about buying a Spoon DAFP approx $185 - I'm so desperate...

Did YOU remove the resonator from your airbox or is that the way it came?!?!?

i dont understand why people buy those airboxes...besides for looks i guess, cause you can simply cut your stock resonator and have the exact same thing.

i'm guessing by (resonator) you mean all the other plastic **** underneath the stock air box??? if so...yup i removed all of it and drilled 3/4 inch holes all underneath the stock air box..

Excuse the sh!tty pic - I ripped it off someone else - but this is what I'm talking about.

The resonator is between the airbox and the intake tube - messes up the air flow - and kills the sound when you're WFO, e.g. a muffler for the intake system...



I see your setup is missing this piece...

That's the way it came... because his air box is from an obd1 car, and the picture you posted is from an obd2 civic...most cars don't have resonators on the top like the pic you put up, but rather under (ie behind the bumper), most people remove 'em 'cuz they are worthless and just make the car sound that much meaner, but when you pop the hood you gotta stock intake and people are like "ooooh, ahhhh" haha

Crap! That's what I was afraid of...

I gotta spend $185 for that ^%$# Spoon DAFP... if I wanna do it right!

Okay, thanks!

Carry on...

wonder if it gets more air flow with the stock airbox with all that other **** out of there or an aftermarket long cai

Well, I'm a big believer in K&N filters - the OIL is what does the filtering NOT the media - so flow is not a problem with a K&N panel filter.

And, the resonator - if you look at it - is nothing more than a 1/4" airgap between the airbox and the intake tube - so it doesn't restrict anything - it just messes with the flow and sound.

Soooo...

All I can tell you is - I trust Honda engineers more than third-party marketers, K&N aside!

Take it for what it's worth...

well now that you have put it that way.. i am gonna have to agree with you on that one.. and i think the stock airbox when cleaned makes the bay look so much more clean
