How's it goin lads? I'm currently livin in ireland and i'm thinkin of gettin a AEM CAI shipped in from the states. Problem is i dont know which one to order! Its for a 92 JDM Civic VTi (1.5 D15B engine). I've been told by a mate that the one for the USDM EX/Si will fit but i jus wanna get a second opinion. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Peter
PS heres a pic of the engine bay!

 

it looks like an intake for an ex would work fine.

are you looking for a cold air or short ram? if you want a short ram my roommate has a brand new one for sale https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=282164

 

Ah, excuse me, but I don't agree. Look at the size of the TB opening. You're going to have problems 'cause it's so small. You can expect to have to do something to take up the gap. Everything else should be okay though.

If you'll notice, a lot of those cheap 'one-size-fits-all' intakes on eBay come with reducers, but you aren't going to get those with an AEM...

i agree, looks like cx manifold and tb. looks like you could benifit from a ex,si tb and manifold

 

no no, that's the 1.5 VX manifold....all you need to do is buy the AEM, go to your local hardware store and buy a PVC pipe clamp(rubber) that connects 2.5" to 2.00"inch....thats what i did and it fit like a glove

does your VTi have a pretty close ratio tranny?

 

hmm must be cos the aem intakes r designed for 1.6's? bah i'll try get a reducer from somewhere..........thanx again for help

@emerica its a kinda close ratio gearbox, i.e. at 80mph u would be doin 3750-4000rpm

 

VTi trannys have the same gearing as SOHC SI hb's

 

that engine bay/motor looks familiar ...hmm


lets get some things straight:
first JDM/Euro VTi D15B = D16z6 head/intake and so on with a VX block, the combo works with almost all D16z6 parts, and puts out the same power with slightly less torque


Civic ETi (VTEC-E d15b) = VX, economy motor with nothing good as far as any goodies.

dyno of my old JDM D15B VTEC (came with LSD tranny) - different numbers are comparisment of different programs (lowest is a stock p28, which is not matched very well to the motor)



motor running with EG6 airbox/pipe, it all works like a charm including ITR TB on it
