Hi guys,

I'm gonna be getting my CRX with JDM B18C BAR'ed here in a few weeks and I had a quick question. Would the BAR guys care if I was to use a no name air intake tube with a cone filter on it? I figure that as long as I have the nipple that connects it to the valve cover then I should be fine. But I wanted to see how strict these BAR places are.

TIA

 

I am going to just by a large Accord Air box and tube.

 

yes they do care. You have to use something that is carb legal for the MOTOR not the car, or you have to have a stock airbox and tube.

 

Hopefully Wes V. will chime in or u can PM him. I think he used a stock ef airbox with a stock DA tube?

 

Just about the only way to do it is to use the stock air filter box and DA air tube! That's what I did when I got my (USDM) B18C BAR'd. (keep in mind that I'm running a Skunk 2 intake)

What's funny is that I just got in from the garage putting in an AEM cold air intake. It's the one that has the CARB number for the stock SI (with D series motor). Technically, it's not legal due to not being matched to the engine!!!!

The "hybrid" ones that AEM sells do not have a CARB number.

So, if the police pull me over, I've got the label on the intake. I doubt that a cop would know it's not legal, but a Referee would!!

thanks for the replies guys

I just thought I'd ask because I remember there was somebody with an RS Akimoto intake that passed the BAR. I'll just go ahead and rig up my stock DX box with a 90-93 Teg intake arm.

 

You have to be careful when looking at what others have done. It's not that anybody is trying to lie about it, but they may post a photo that isn't exactly how the car was when they went into the referee!

i used a stock 92-95 airbox and a 96 ls tube . drop in k&n and works really well. you have to cut the mounting arm closest to the fender but the hole lines up for the bottom bolt behind the headlight . i also cut vents in the box in the front bumper to allow more air in .
