Default Which airbox after swap?

OK, I've just about got this swap all planned out in my mind.

I've got the engine, trans, axles, hubs, exhaust, wiring, covered. (I hope)

You guys were right there with the speedo drive answer.

Next question.

I am trying to go with the OEM look on this project. Kinda like the CRX SIR.

I have an HF airbox now. The pipework on it is like inch and a half. I think a golf ball might get stuck in there.

I picked up Prelude piping and it's like 3".

Is there any airbox that fits the CRX space that uses 3" pipes? Is the Si bigger than the HF? This is gonna be a GSR engine if it matters.

I really don't want to use a CAI or anything because of the look and the sound.

I've seen a few swaps locally that use the OEM pipe and it is very tiny and held to the airbox with tape. It looks pretty bad and I imagine the small pipework is hurting performance and flow.

What are you guys using?

Look for a JDM SIr air box.

No pics yet, but the b16 eg rubber tubes work nicely. It fit nice and snug on my 3" HKS pipe and filter. EG air box doesn't fit, i just tried it out for kicks.

I've heard that you use the airbox that came with the car stock, and the stock air-tube, from the swapped engine
