jus needed to know,... wut after market air intakes can i use for the B16 swap? and would i needa relocate the battery for the intake?!

 

You can:

-Make your own
Might need relocation of battery

-Use stock CRX intake
No relocation needed

-Use a 99-00 Civic Si CAI
Relocation of battery needed.

 

Use the intake I got for a 88 CRX DX i think cant remember tho cause i bought it used. but u only have to cut like 2" off the throttle body end

 

good question.

has anyone made their own intake for their b16? if so how do you like it? notice any difference?

 

-Use stock CRX intake
No relocation needed

hhhmmm my cousin had an 88 CRX HF too! Doh! oh well...but neways, wuts the difference from the stock CRX intake and a stock Civic STD intake?! and wut year and type of CRX r u referring to?! ..........or this all jus plain and simple to cut my stock civic STD intake to custom fit my B16?( which doesnt sound like a bad idea if i have no other means, as long as it werks, or else ima bust out with some JG edelbrock Individual Throttlebodies! LoL! )

I ended up using a 99-00 si intake and bought a smaller battery (stinger w/ red top), so no relocation was necessary. Not reccomended tho.

 

i gots a OEM honda battery in my car rite now...ne idea if that would be small enuff for the fit?! i was thinkin about the Si intake, but wasnt too sure if it woulda fit in my car with the battery in the way....if so, then this would be the perfect intake to get for my swap...thanks a bunch

 

i had some issues with this. i bought an ICEMAN intake for my swap and they did a terrible job with the piping..they later said you need to relocate the battery. i talked with them over and over on the phone, and they eventually sent me the ICEMAN intake for the CRX..i had to cut each of them and strap them together, but it fits well and no battery relocation.

My buddy's B16 has the 99si AEM and its clears the stock battery, but not by much. If it helps any.....

 

i used a 93 si box just cut the leg off closest to the fender on the pass side and it bolts right in also i used a 94 ls integra tube and it looks factory as hell

 

I used a sh!tty aftermarket 3", cut it in half about 3" from the breather hose hole. I then added a 14" straight exhaust pipe (PAINTED), using the piece cut (with filter) to extend through the Hole near the battery to make a cold air intake.

Try using 3" pipe, it made a noticeable difference in low end torque with the B16. I tried it after seeing good results from a dyno graph. BTW, I put the battery in the spare tire well. HTH, Overkll

 

I am using a 1999-2000 SI AEM CAI in my B16A CRX. But I used an Odyssey battery instead of relocating my stock battery. They Odyssey battery also shaves about 15 pounds from the weight of your car.

 

I'm using an '88 CRX AEM CAI. Fit is perfect.

 

yo dudes! jus got an intake for my swap, but not sure if it'll do,if not i gotsa friend over here i can lend it to, but here it is, check it out....

....yeah im jus using the piping from it so i at least have an intake!(and put a REAL K&N filter on that piece)...the guy im gettin a B16 from has no stock intakes on his B16's! so i gotta compesate fer one...wonderin if this will do without ne battery relocating

 

let me know how that works man, i was thinking of getting a cheap setup off of ebay and just using the pipe. peace

 

When I put my b16 in I'm just gonna use the CAI that's in my rex right now.
