So I think it's about time I upgrade the intake on my b18b swapped 89 Si, main reason is because I have an Integra intake box which is too short so it hits the battery and sometimes falls off. SO! From the one's below what's your choice and why? Any pics? I'm also looking for something in the low end torque department. THANKS!

 

None of those buy a cheap *** ebay tube and then a good K&N there all just sticks with a filter on the end.

 

i would just relocate the battery because the integra intake probably outperforms all of those intakes

 

Whatever's cheapest; hot air intakes aren't going to gain you any HP.

 

I agree with all the posts here.

You can also relocate battery get a 3" ITR intake vstack and be set

 

I LOVE my AEM for when I had a battery up front.....but now? I want something with proven gains for an NA B16A with bolt ons.

Thanks every1 for your comments and votes, and by the way short rams do help you in torque a little it's been dyno-proven and HP isnt't anything it's just a number manufacturers made up for I forgot what purposes, the only thing that matters is torque it's what moves your car, if you care Torque x RPM / 5252 = Horsepower

 

+1 for a cold air ebay intake...that's what i have. it brings in cold air from down low, it fits, has a k&n knockoff filter and was $40 shipped. looks very similar to SiRed91's AEM setup and i feel the difference

Wrong.

 

If you believe you know better than UTI by all means enlighten me.

 

"Manufacturers" did not "make up" horsepower. Everyone knows the 5252 formula, but that does not mean horsepower is not real.

And its horsepower that wins races. But of course, the uneducated will take this and make it into an arguement with no end.

SO ......not busting your *****, its just a statement.

 

horsepower isn't anything? LOL. Try telling that to any B16/ s2k owner.

 

I have an AEM Cold Air, with an old school HKS filter on mine.

 

ha, yep. HP absolutely DOES matter, and its not "made up".

although it HP is relative...it does matter... thats like saying since theres no direct caster adjustment that it doesnt exist.. its relative and they do matter
