i have an AEM CAI for a 90 CRX Si...
i also made a custom 3inch CAI...


The AEM is smaller piping and obviosuly more researched then my 3 inch...
but i want my intake velocity strong still, theres no way i'dbe able to dyno them so dont bother telling me that... i know its only a few hp give or take to be gained or lost but i'm just curious... should i stick with the smaller aem or my bigger?

aem also bends to get around the stock battery location.. i relocated mine to the trunk.. my pipe is straight...

 

alot of the fast fast hondas out there have basically straight through intakes like the custom one you made... maybe it would be better but like you said very minimal

 

I Say vote for the one you made.

makes you "feel" like you're part of the engine....

i wouldn't even bother with the dyno session unless it was free.

 

oh yea its on a 1st gen b16 too...

yea definitly wasnt planning on any dyno...

its always fun to fab things up

 

i had a cheap short ram intake and then made my own custom one,i like it alot better......

 

if you put it on post pictures im interested in seeing it im sure a lot of the custom fab people are too

 

<u>My thoughts</u>
the AEM CAI for CRX isnt made for the b16 flow or swap. i belive the CRX/CIVIC is like 2.25" diamater and has 5 bends. which is why they made the v2 which is bigger in size and fits factory battery location area. but it has 5 bends still. imo it doesnt look as clean as the 99-00si system.

personally since you have the battery relocated, i would get a 99-00 si AEM CAI because it's bigger in diameter(2.5") and has 2 bends 1 at TB and 1 going down the hole behind the bumper

These is every true but the 99-00 SI AEM is a 2.75' diamater and not 2.5'.

Here is a picture of one when it was on my car.



Good Day,

yep.. with the 99-00si system you could even weld a flange to the pipe for bov in the future.

 

threw the old aem back on for a few days to see how it feels

 

yeah it looks almost like the 99-00 civic si aem. I bet it flows almost the same or close to the same

 

your probably like a 10 minute ride from me, and you have a 1st gen b16, and you painted your car blue, and you have a 90dx....

it must something in the water here.

these pics make me want to relocate my battery.

 

I have a K&N Typhoon. I'm relocating the battery to my trunk so I can fab up an isolation box.

 

uh oh, competition!!!! :-D

I would say that you've probably seen me around/I've seen you around... but I don't recall seeing a blue rex with a b16
