Should i put an AEM intake in my stock 92 civic cx or should i save up for a new engine?

Im willing to spend prolly under 700 on that new engine including the swap
Its been stock since forever
Hella miles on the engine ( 190 XXX ) and it has a small oil problem

Should i buy an AEM intake for 100 and put that in or should i just save up for a new engine?

also what kind of engine should i put in

some ppl say H somethin ... some say D15b vtec

whats a cheap good reliable engine?

please and thanks

well, what are you looking for? more performance or reliability?

you asked an odd question:

by a $150 part and gain 1 WHP, or buy a whole new motor. two different scenarios here...

lol buy an aem intake and use it for you d15b vtec,... it should fit into your price range..if you want to save money just buy the longblock and keep your tranny, hell if you want to save even more money just find a z6, y8 or d15b head and throw it on your block, there are about 8000 threads on how to do it

^ LMFAO! I second ALL of that.

To the OP, why buy an intake? It won't make a difference whatsoever. Be patient and save a few more bucks for a motor... Simple as that.

dude that's like not even the same category, it'd be one thing if you said i'm gonna do an engine swap, should i drop this ls engine in or save up for a gsr, but just go get an intake for now, it's only 150 for a good one, it'll sound cool, you'll get an extra hp or 2, and then when you do get a new engine, you'll already have an intake for it. cause trust me, when you do get a new engine, you're going to want to put a good intake on it.
