you can either use a crx one or a 99si one....the crx one has a smaller pipe diameter but you dont have to relocate the battery....the 99si has bigger piping but you have to relocate the battery.....id go with the 99si one

88-91 AEM CAI will work. you might have to do some modification like remove the stock air box, underside plastics, enlarge the whole near the wheel well, relocate the battery or cut and re-angle the CAI piping.

88-91 CRX CAI works fine. Dont **** with the 99si. But if you do want to spread some weight out moving the battery would be cool since your B16 is way heavier than your old D series motor, so the 99 SI does have that one advantage

I suggest an intake made for a b16, not the CRX. Make it fit or don't do it.

The engines are very different and getting the CRX intake wouild be half-assing it IMO.

I have an '88 CRX Si w/ B16A with an AEM CAI for a CRX. Despite what people says, just adding the intake DOES make a huge difference, even if it is for a D-series engine (and undersized to boot).

I dropped 0.2s off my time with it.

I'm sure it's better than nothing. Nevertheless, I heard from someone the same thing, except they went from the CRX AEM to the b16 AEM. I don't know, to go through the trouble of making a b16 fit in a CRX, but not bothering to make the proper intake fit the b16 seems kind of wrong.
