I have a dz16 engine and i want to know which aem intake will fit, should i but a 88-91 intake or 92-95 intake. Which one will fit the best

 

If the d16z6 is in a 88-91 civic/crx buy the 88-91 intake.

 

well buy the 88-91 crx SI dont get the dx one because its longer i believe, to reach that little box before the throttle body.

which car? 88-91 CRX intake for that car, 92-95 Civic for that car. all the D-series engines mount the same, it's the battery location that alters the intake tube.

 

hey I don't see a DX AEM Intake anywhere. They list the 88-91 Si/Ex Intake which is for the 1.6L. Which AEM Intake is best for my DX 1.5L? Is custom fitting necessary?

 

if youre still running DPFI, dont even run a CAI, its pointless, if you have converted to MPFI, then get the SI CAI

 

yep, buy the intake for the car.

 

hell yea it fits. mine fits fine .. juss get the 88-91 like everyone say

Hey, I kind of need a definitive answer. Don't bother with an intake for the 1.5L? Converting to MPFI is something I'm unlikely to do, so should I basically leave the intake stock?

Naturally, I'd like to buy an intake (CAI or short ram) since the sound alone is worth the price of admission! lol, j/k. What's involved in fitting the Si intake to the DX? I know someone has done or attempted this so help me out.

 

Ok i have d16z6 swap in my 89 LX (same as DX, d15b2) the 88-91 Si/EX one fits just fine.

 

with DPFI, dont bother with an aftermarket intake of any kind, i speak from experience.

with DPFI, you wont get that throaty sound so familiar with aftermarket intakes, again, i speak from experience.

 

Is it the whirry-whiny lawnmower on crack sound?

We want to avoid that...

with DPFI, if you take off your stock air tube and rev the motor, you cant even hear the intake, you just hear the motor rev.

 

OK first yeah the intake would do nothing for performance or sound on a DX but if you really insist on getting an intake for your DX its the same intake as on an Si.

 

If you use an Si intake on a Dx it will get f'd up. It sits higher and will hit the Hood when closed.

 

save your money b/c you won't notice any difference with your dx...

 

Dryer vent hose and a $20.00 APC cone filter! Lol J/k

If you are planning to do anything to the car buy for your future plans. If you are absolutely needing something right now buy a K&N filter that fits the stock airbox and remove all the ductwork exept the tube from the throttlebody and the airbox. Get a Dremel and skeletonize the bottom of the airbox as much as possible but be sure to keep a basic frame in mind so the stucture of the airbox is intact enough to hold it to the car. Just remember that the airbox is plastic so cut it outside so you don't breath in the fumes of melting plastic. Once you do the cutting don't touch the melted plastic, Let it cool then the melted edges will snap off to a nice clean edge. Hope this helps!
