my 88 CRX has the battery in the back so there is lots of room and i want a cold air intake that goes strait to the hole in the fender. which car should the CAI be for? thanks...

 

I'm *pretty* sure you use the 99-00 Civic Si Intake. Most people I know have used this successfully.

 

most peeps use the 99-00 civic Si intake after their B16/18 swap. yes it will fit.

 

oh this will be on an A6 motor. i thought it was a 99-00 Si intake too...

 

Why couldnt you just use a CAI for a CRX??

 

its got all those gay bends in it that are useless if i dont have a battery, the bends are there to go around the battery...

 

Here is a pic of mine.
88 CRX with a generic intake made for the 99 Civic si.
I had to modify the body slightly to make it fit.

 

i don't understand
just get a cheap one off of ebay
i mean an intake is an intake
I got the 40 dollar cai
its cheap and works
although i see no improvement over stock

 

i am buying a cheap one off ebay, just for a 99-00 Civic Si/EX 40bucks thnaks guys! thanks for the engine pic to thats what im lookin for....

 

I had to cut like a ***** to get mine to fit, I used the AEM for a 99-00 Si cause of the larger piping....here's the result.......

 

dont buy a generic one, spend a little extra money to get AEM. then you will get noticeable difference. its worth it in the end.

 

going turbo. just need a filter...

 

K&N filter

 

For those who have the Civic Si AEM - how close to the rear of the headlights does it go? I've got projectors, and had to halve my PRM and leave it in the engine bay, since the bend put the tube at the rear of the projectors.

TIA!

 

the headlight assembly has plenty of room, all that goes near it is the piping......

 

Why not make a custom one for like 5 bucks from home depot the make this flex **** thats like 2.75 diameter and you can make like 3 cold airs out of its length they give you

 

thats seriously ghetto...

 

that will last about 1...maybe 2 weeks before it starts to fall apart....
so ghetto

 

how far back does your projector goes. when i had projectors. I couldnt fit CAI because the projector thing came out to far and blocked the hole.

 

Bryant, it's pretty far into the engine bay.

I know that someone was able to re-position the light ***'y so that the bulb pointed up instead of down, which cleared up enough room for the tube to go down through the hole. I'm going to do that, but I think that I'll wait for Jersey to thaw out before I work on the car again. Then I'll be able to tell if I can feed a tube there. Otherwise, might look into MacGuyvering something to go more through the middle of the engine bay, since the battery not being there makes for some other possibilities.

 

Trevor and EF8, how much did you guys have to cut and where?

 

those of you who doubt my "ghetto setup" are fools... It will last as long if not longer than AEM or something... dont hate cause your not creative and know how to save loot..... for the fools.

 

i have an Injen one and i love it. the piping is nice and big. Mine was a one piece, and it was raining so i sawed the extension part off, and if i need to put it back on i just use a 3 inch rubber coupling with hose clamps. Dont get a generic brand, the piping may not differ that much from a good brand, but the filter is what you gotta think about. I knew someone that had a cheap *** Matrix intake and the filter literally fell apart, the rubber thats on top of the filter, and the rubber that is on the bottom and connects the filter to the pipe fell off, so the filter element was just sittine there... If you dont believe me ask H-T member "Al-Bundy", he saw it happen also... and the guy didnt even know it happened till he opened his hood, so who knows how long its been like that

 

i used a AEM cold air for a 92-95. at leat i am pretty sure it is 92-95 and it works fine and a d16a6.
