Short Ram Intake VS. Cold Air Intake (AEM)
 

Should I save up for the cold air intake, or just go with the short ram? Do I need to move anything around if I get either one? Like for instance... The battery? Or does it just drop right in, without anything getting in the way of it's path https://honda-tech.com/forums/images...s/emsmilep.gif

What motor do you have? If it's stock, or any SOHC, it drops right in. Unless you have an F22 in there...

SOHC. Cool I have the d16a6 stock si motor... But like how much more hp with the cold air give me... is it worth $80-$100 more?

Re: Short Ram Intake VS. Cold Air Intake (whole9)
 

Ahhhh, don't bother with an intake. Just get one of those K&N drop-in filters made for your car. They do just as well. How about some ZC pistons, headwork, upgraded valvetrain, Exospeed Race camshaft, custom ZC geared tranny and a Bisi header. Lol...I dunno, kinda rambled off for the hell of it. But yeah, not much gain from intakes. Makes a cool sound though!

it takes alot more than a cai to get horsepower.

Re: Short Ram Intake VS. Cold Air Intake (boosted_hatch_216)
 

I'd go with CAI, and yes it goes right in. CAI provides more horsepower than short ram, however I'd prob get a ebay cheapy.

brah just get short ram cuz cai aluminum tube will could touch yur + battery terminal and shut off yur car while yur driving pretty dangerous so just get the short ram where its not so close to yur battery terminal

Re: (aznboihoy03)
 

Relocate the battery just for a CAI... Ahhh OK :D

make your own cai. just make the tubing go into the bottom part behind your bumper. or do like me and cur a hole in the bumper, and put a tube into the engine bay, so cold air goes into the engine bay but water dust etc stays out. basically i got a short raim and cai in one.

Re: (ef_you_again)
 

Enough of that. I decided to sell my D Series and get a B series.... Well see what happens though. Depends if it sells quick enough or not. =] making your own is cool, but im going for the cleanist possible look, and im not a pro at fabricating things, even if its just some pipe =] https://honda-tech.com/forums/images/smilies/emthup.gif bolt on, snap together, wire splicing I can do =]

If you get the right CAI for your car it should fit right in without touching the battery.

I have the AEM Hybrid Intake, which basically is the CAI for a CRX with B16 swap, but it fits just as well on stock B16s:

pimp shit https://honda-tech.com/forums/images/smilies/emthup.gif but to spend 200+ on hybrid intake system is nutz.

3" velocity stack, 3" piping to 2.5" piping with silicone reducer to TB is the only way to go https://honda-tech.com/forums/images/smilies/emwink.gif location bottom of bumper or out the headlight. cleaner looking on 88-89 civic/crx bumpers.

Wire Loom that amp kit and route it under the intake.... you spent mad cheddar on a sick intake, dont hide it.

Re: (doublethink)
 

The problem with the AEM hybrid intake is that it's not carb legal.

I used the "stock" CAI in my 89 with B18c (with Skunk2 intake manifold).

http://www.performanceforum.com/wesv.../aemair/a3.jpg

It's not as good functionally as the hybrid unit, but does have a CARB sticker. Now keep in mind that it's not technically legal due to the engine swap, but a cop would have to run numbers to know. The car was Ref'd, but with the factory filter box.

Here is a write-up;
