Should i put an AEM intake in my stock 92 civic cx or should i save up for a new engine?

Im willing to spend prolly under 700 on that new engine including the swap
Its been stock since forever
Hella miles on the engine ( 190 XXX ) and it has a small oil problem

Should i buy an AEM intake for 100 and put that in or should i just save up for a new engine?

also what kind of engine should i put in

some ppl say H somethin ... some say D15b vtec

whats a cheap good reliable engine?

please and thanks

 

Save for swap.

 

well, what are you looking for? more performance or reliability?

you asked an odd question:

by a $150 part and gain 1 WHP, or buy a whole new motor. two different scenarios here...

 

lol buy an aem intake and use it for you d15b vtec,... it should fit into your price range..if you want to save money just buy the longblock and keep your tranny, hell if you want to save even more money just find a z6, y8 or d15b head and throw it on your block, there are about 8000 threads on how to do it

 

i say just get an ebay short ram intake, and use it on whatever motor you swap in

 

Just wait out and save for a motor.

 

i say buy a cheapo intake piping off ebay or something and just get a good filter...maybe k&n prolly cost you 60 bucks or less

my ebay cai from ac autotechnic cost me 60 bucks...lol

^ LMFAO! I second ALL of that.

To the OP, why buy an intake? It won't make a difference whatsoever. Be patient and save a few more bucks for a motor... Simple as that.

 

dude that's like not even the same category, it'd be one thing if you said i'm gonna do an engine swap, should i drop this ls engine in or save up for a gsr, but just go get an intake for now, it's only 150 for a good one, it'll sound cool, you'll get an extra hp or 2, and then when you do get a new engine, you'll already have an intake for it. cause trust me, when you do get a new engine, you're going to want to put a good intake on it.

 

id go for a b20 but youd have to get a tranny for it depending on what your doing
