Using the stock intake arm and box is best. This has been covered before. Just get a K&N and cut the bottom plastic out of the way. Best intake and is STOCK>

i got mind set up pretty good i got the stock intake tube from a integra and got the k&n intake add on for a 90 integra.
heres a pic to show you

you just have to trim the little metal L-shaped backet down to get it to sit a little lower and the plastic tube needs 2in off to sit right with the stock tube.

Not sure if you were trying to sound smart so you said plentum, but 99% of people in America say "intake manifold" so don't get so mad at people when you make broad, poorly directed posts. Plenty of us don't run "CAI" so were were assuming you meant non-CAI intake setups (aka "ram-air style / stock style).

Anyways, I'm assuming 11:1 on a B18a head you're trying to prove to everyone that you can make a b18 make power w/o vtec or boost. I am going to wish you good luck but there have been plenty of people who have done it before and can tell you it's already somewhat of an obsolete idea. It's like trying to give yourself a handicap, yet you already have a motor swap, so most people won't consider it all that much of a feat.

I've always thought Skunk 2 made the best IM's, but AEBS is always popular on HT and I'm not the biggest fan of Blox b/c I had a friend have huge issues with his on his b20/vtec. I don't see why you don't just go ITB's if you're trying to go N/A?

what the f is this? i just like a non boost non vtec application. also as it says in my sig. ~~~ because its my first~~~ i would rather build up something like this, getting used to building a motor and others, then move up... i dont' understand where you come off making me sound like i'm the jack ***. and i am IN NO WAY traying to impress anyone... i know what i like and i would like those that are considerate of that, to try and help me out, as i would if i had any more knowledge, or if i have ran this application and moved on do you realize the last part of your whole shpeal is all i needed... and i thank you for that, but you sound like mr. high and mighty, next tiem i wanna build something or move on i will get your permission first (end of you)


thank you others for tryign to help. it was my ignorance that i didn't know the name of an IM i have only heard of it as an air plentum.

thanks though
