hey guys im new to cars, driving, and life on these forums i guess

bought an integra 95 4 door automatic special edition (i believe it has a b18b1 engine)

i need to find a stock or carb legal exhaust to pass california smog

will this fit? http://www.ebay.com/itm/97-acura-integra-LS-oem-stock-airbox-air-box-cleaner-intake-94-95-96-98-99-01-/230961796008?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&fits=Make%3AAcura%7CModel%3AIntegra&hash=item35c66553a8&vxp=mtr#vi-ilComp
does anyone have any other suggestions....before i find the guy who sold me this car and strangle him?

 

Um that's the intake not the exhaust lol but that stock one will be fine as it came with the car. so will most AEM intakes and DC sports exhausts just look for that carb sticker

 

oops i meant intake!

 

does that ebay listing include all i need to put back in the original intake?

 

http://www.aemintakes.com/store/prod...x?prod=22-403P

so something like that would work as well?

 

Pretty sure that's carb legal. However I don't have a lot of experience with cali's stupid rules.

 

well i'm assuming if i go to my local auto shop and buy one of them they will be able to tell me? or i should see a sticker on them with n eo #?

sorry for all the pesty question im really clueless when it comes to this crap

also another question i had is will the AEM short air intake cause me to put out more emissions and could mess with that part of the test?

I want to buy a new AEM mostly for the convinience of not having to track down a descent stock intake

but if its just going to cause me more grief i'd rather just get a stock one

 

Shouldn't really mess with the sniffer portion of the test. And anything that's carb legal should have a number associated with it.

 

pretty much all AEM intakes and DC sports intakes/exhaust w
are carb legal.

 

ok so i bought the aem intake, the hose that came with it is only like 2 inches long, i need it to be more like 2 feet long, i'm almost positive i bought the correct intake....what gives?

 

post pictures we can help u better.

should have been bought for application 1995 acura integra ls/gs/rs, model doesnt matter

 

ok guys thanks for all the help, took my teg down to pep boys they said all i need to do is get some exhaust/pcv tubing , but i looks like i was correct it didn't come with the correct tube but it is the correct intake

its kinda of weird i've looked at a few pictures of the same intake i have on google images and some of them come with long tubes, some of them just come with exactly what i got

anyways here's a picture so you guys can get a better idea of what i'm talking about , you'll notice the distance from the air filter (which will be removed) to my intake pipe is a lot further than the 2 inches hose they gave me, i looked at a lot of pictures and it looks like a lot of cars have that 2 inch hose on there with another hose going into it and tied down with the clamps /shrugs

if anyone has any helpful information on this i should would appreciate it, the guys are pepboys are very nice but they're not exactly god's gift mechanics



that's not my aem intake on there by the way, i'm just showing you the pic so you can get an idea of what i'm talking about

 

you stated your car is a 1995-b18b1. judging by your valve cover your cylinder head is from a 96+ b18b1.

Have you failed smog? if so, was it for emissions or the visual inspection?

Your car has a functioning pcv system using the breather box on the block (check yellow marked hose to ensure connected). with the pcv valve on the valve cover being unused and also being basically rendered useless. buy a rubber vacuum plug from your local parts dealer and cap the hole.



inserting hose from where breather(blue filter) into new stock intake:
You are missing a connecting piece.


this can most likely be bought at honda. if not a junkyard or a nice H/T member.

if you can't find one, using hose clamps, clamp a piece of fuel line onto where the breather is. at the intake end, find a rigid piece of metal tubing the fits into the intake opening and clamp them together. clamping the fuel line from the valve cover to the metal tubing you inserted into the intake.


Hope this helps,
silky

 

thanks silky you answered 2 of my questions at once!

 

hey i found a couple of pictures where it appears they've just taking an exhaust hose and clamped them onto each end, will this be sufficient?

sorry for all the nagging questions, but i am so utterly lost and clueless its sad, i'm probably going to have to shoot someone 20 just to install this stuff for me....pretty sad i know

basically i'm trying to make the process as simple as possible





there is a small metal tube that comes out of the intake pipe for hoses to clamp onto, i'm not sure if thats what you're reffering to when you say rigid metal tube silkyy

i appreciate your guy's help more than you can every imagine

 

ok just got done talking to a smog tech ....the verdict is in

i'm going to have to put back on the obd1 valve cover, because plugging that pvc is a modification and illegal in california

he said running a fuel line hose from the intake to the engine is ok

 

yep, if the intake you're going to use has a rigid tube out of it clamp on to that. if you are going back to the stock intake you will need a metal tube to insert into the intake, as the stock intake only has a rubber inlet.


PM'ed

 

His aftermarket one has both a rubber inlet and a pipe nipple. Whichever works easiest then plug the other.

 

hey guys the aem i plan on putting on there has only 1 opening but its got a lil metal tube that sticks out for the tube to slide on

 

thatll work

 

yes and it connects to the VC(not the PCV outlet) has seen ppl mess those up all too many times.

 

thanks for all the advice guys heres the california legal aftermath if anyone else has the same issue as me!
