just finished my h22 swap into 96 accord coupe, just curious if i can reuse my aem cold air intake from my f22 or????????? help please

 

I have a 95 acord with an h22 swap and my f22 Injen CAI. At first it wouldnt fit, so I ghetto rigged it with the filter directly on the throttle body. Then I had a friend who offered to bend it for me, but I was afraid he would ruin it, so I didnt have him do it. Ultimately, I just took a Dremel drill and drilled off the U shaped tab at the elbow that connects to the rubber boot. (the clip and boot, keeps the CAI from shaking and rattling) So now my intake fits perfectly but now I have to worry about the tube getting a hole from rattling through the hole in the engine floor. That problem was easily fixed by getting a descent size rubber hose, I slit it all the way down, then wrapped the edge of the hole with it to keep the CAI in good shape. I have had it like that for 7 months and no problems yet.
If you dont want to go through all that, just get a short ram intake. As for me, I think short rams are ugly and not as effective.

sure you can use your puny 2.5" (or less) accord intake. that is if you want to rob your engine of 10hp or so. get the prelude or ITR intake. the h22 needs the 3" intake

 

you've got an ITR intake to fit with no problems?

 

for an accord i would use the prelude intake. for a h22 civic i would use itr
