Sup guys,

My buddy just dropped in a b16a in his 90 civic si. He wants to pick up a intake
but wasn't sure which one he will need. Does anybody know which will fit his
setup? Will a 88-91 civic si in take have the correct fitting for the breather and vaccum hose? Im posting this for him cuz his internet access is down for now.

thanks!!

great help... I think he means for which model car does he order one for...

I have a helpful link that might get you in the right direction..

haha...sorry dude.

 

The Injen intake for 88-91 Civic/crx Si fits perfectly.

 

yes..use the injen. i have iceman and i had to modify. you'll also have to cut and modify the aem..this unless you relocate the battery. injen does not call for battery relocation and is 3 inch, just like you want for b16.

 

Thanks for the info!!! I'll let him know. Not sure if he was looking for a cold air
model or not. Will any short ram model work? I think he was looking to pickup
one of those cheapy ones off ebay but wanted to make sure they had the two fittings for the breather/vacum hoses.

thanks again!

right now i have a cheap *** ractive Intake that fits on fine, it has fallen apart in the last year though so I am buying a aem soon. mine was for a crx si.

 

I just bought a race version injen and it is only 2.5 inches. I think they might have changed the diameter. Mine is definetly 2.5. I also looks a little different than the picture that is on the Injen website. Does anybody know if there is a different part number for 3 inch or is it just a different design now?

 

dang..i hope the 3 inch is still available. that was the only reason to buy the injen. the old one was their regular crx/civic Si intake...direct fit for ZCs and B16s.

 

No you don't. My brother used a CRX Si one with his B16, and it worked perfectly. I would just buy a 99-00 Civic Si one and relocate the battery though.

 

to be honest with you I don't a 3 inch give you any more wonderful horsepower of a 2.5" One intake offers you volume while the other offers you velocity.

I have this one. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...tem=1864642946 or one like it.

The day someone posts a dyno that reveals that I can get more than 1hp from a 3" intake as opposed to the one I already have (2.5") I will get one.. I just don't see myself spending more than 80$ on something I could have made myself!

To answer your question, the Injen is the best way to go if you must have a 3" CAI and money isn't an issue.

i was talking about the B16 intake, not the D16 one. as you noted, the B16 intake doesn't have the proper bends.

 

Oh sorry. wasn't sure which one you were talking about

 

aem short ram, will work great, i have it on my 91 crx si w/b16a1, has a nice deep sound

 

Injen does indeed use 2.5 inch tubing for the 1988-1991 Civic/CRX. The problem with using a 1988-1991 intake is that they are all designed for the D16A6. While 2.5 inch tubing may be great for that particular motor, it is not large enough for a B16A. Your best bet is to use the AEM CAI for the 1999-2000 SI. That intake is designed for a B16A and uses 2.75 inch tubing. You will need to either relocate the stock battery or use a small racing battery (Odyssey, Dyna-Batt, Annihilator, etc.).
