Hey guys, let me first say that I'm new to honda tech and hondas in general, but am really pumped to learn a lot from this site and work on my new ride. That being said, through some crazy circumstances I recently inherited a blown 2000 civic Si. Motor is a b16a2 with a stock bottom end and a rebuilt top end. GSR intake cam and ITR exhaust cam along with new valves, springs, you name it. It has a Hondata ECU (not sure exactly what version) and a JRSC which puts out almost 15psi at about 8500 rpms. The intake is kinda jimmy rigged tho (pictures coming), with the stock piping and a filter, so I want to get it some cold air. Which CAI is going to be best for this car, and will it match up to the inlet of a JRSC the same as a stock intake manifold? I'm worried the inlets will be placed differently or of differing diameters. Thanks.

nothing? I've heard AEM and Injen make the best intakes for Hondas but am not sure if it will bolt directly up.

you have a supercharger i wouldn't really worry about an intake just make one or just find some pics with a car that has one and copy or buy the same model i had to make my own intercooler piping

Just buy a short ram for it?

I've been searching the forums for the trade-offs of ram air vs CAI in a SC application and it looks like a lot of people think the air is going to heat up in the charger no matter what so it's better to just spend less and have less air volume to draw and less losses from bends. My friend who sold me the car said it was tuned for about 11psi though, and when I was seeing it hit 14-15 I was thinking that was only b/c the air coming in was crazy hot (and therefore very very pressurized). I still don't know whats going to bolt up though.

Maybe this can be of some use to you?
