my parents are looking to buy this car for my brother, juss had a question.
is there something missing here? it looks like he took out something..




yea, that silver shiny thing.. i onno

 

Your kidding me right? Well not to be an *** or anything, but the missing part your taking about is the Stock airbox. So instead the previous owner bought a Cold Air intake instead. Hope that helps

 

Yah its a cold air intake.. your better off... well actually it depends what brand it is

 

i thought cai laid where the stock airbox is..

The stock airbox is removed and replaced by a cold air intake.

That's what looks like a D motor...the new K-series motors (civic SI/rsx) mount the reverse way. The intake manifold is in the front, so some of the new cai's for them end up near the rear drivers side of the engine bay.

Some like the aem V2 are easily seen, depends on brand.

that picture u got of ur civic it has a short ram....not a cai...cold air intake dips down behind ur bumper its better if u dont live in a rainy area...if u do dont even bother getting one...

 

or spend a bill and buy the air bypass from aem . but anyways yah he prolly sold the cai. lmao

you cannot get the bypass valve for the dc5 application. radiator hose is in the way

do you know if you can modify the bypass valve at all to fit, without comprimising the effectiveness of it?

 

This thread should be retitled: "Wanna headache? Read my thread"

No, there is nothing wrong with that picture, like MOST cars the intake manifold on K series cars mounts near the radiator. While the exhaust manifold mounts closer to...you guessed it, the exhaust. It's a space saving design

 

LOL, This is the funniest **** i've seen in a long time. How can you compare two different engines? Thats why they make mods for specific cars. Thats how a CAI looks on an RSX. The short ram inake is the one that goes in the same place as the stock air box.

To my knowledge no, nobody has made it work. IMO i think if you got stubborn enough you can make it fit along the main intake pipe somewhere. It would have to involve cutting though. I dunno though. Space down there is real tight.
