Hi there,

I have been reading this forum for a while and think its kool, so therefore ive registered an account.

Anyways Im from the U.K and i have Honda Civic 1.8 VTI-S (limited edition) it has the B18C4 engine. I am after a intake system for this, can any1 advice me where i can get a decent intake kit from, as I can not hold any from the U.K other than K&N... I am after something from the US, like AEM? can any1 advice me on this matter.

Regards
JAL

 

Your best bet is the AEM Hybrid CAI designed for b-series swaps into Civic chassis. Your 5-door civic is built on the same shell as a 96-00 Civic 4-door, and you have an "Integra GS-R" equivalent engine.

There's a distributer right in the UK that sells the hybrid intake. You'll need this one:

Make: HONDA
Part #: SPAEM2005064
Application: 96-00 Civic with B18C1 swap
Description: AEM Hybrid Induction System, Ti Look
Price: £180.00

 

£180? bit pricey hey... wot sort of prices are in the US for this intake?

 

$249.90 from AEM.

 

Works out slightly cheaper from the AEM.. thanks for your advice Eran, just another quick question, how i can show a pic of my car on here? so you peepz can see how a limited edition 1.8 VTI-S looks like here in the U.K

 

I know quite well what they look like

As for pictures of your car, you have to wait till you're not a trial member and post in the "Appearance/Cosmetic" section.

To post, first upload your images to a site such as imageshack.us or photobucket.com.

then paste the URL in between tags like these:

(just get rid of all the spaces)

 

Thanks Eran, Ive uploaded a pic of my car, heres the link, let me know wot u rekon

Very nice, the 5-door 1.8 VTi is actually one of my favorite over-seas Honda's

 

Nice car. Maybe one day we can manage to get one over here for ourselves.

Good luck with the intake.

 

Any suggestions to how much i should lower the car by? Im thinking to lower it by 60mm on the standard 15's......

That's all going to depend on personal preference. Road conditions where you live. Budget, etc etc.

Most lowering coilovers/springs will require an upgraded shock to cope with the increased shock travel.

 

Im from the U.K, so road conditions are good, I dnt have a budget, I just want the wheels to tuck in nicely in the arches as you can see in the pic the car is slightly high up as standard

 

Well, I like my car super low, so i feel like I'm driving a go kart. I like the H&R race, I recommend them to anyone who liked a super-low car.

Hit the SEARCH button up on the top right and search in the Appearance and cosmetic thread, look for threads with people posting up their lowered cars. See which height looks functional/appealing to you.

 

ok nice 1 for that, ill see what i can find, thanks.

 

H&R race

H&R sport - Alright on stock shocks but would be more comfortable on upgraded shocks.
