I have a 91 civic Si with a b16a in it and I had heard since I have the ITR intake manifold and port matched b16a throttlebody, that I could fit a 99-00 Si AEM cold air intake. Has anyone done this, I know you have to move the battery but, do you people think it would be worth it to purchase that intake? I will be doing a whole Toda valvetrain upgrade, cams, valves, springs, gears, so would it be a good idea to go with the 99-00si one for the big tube size??? I don't know maybe i'm asking stupid questions...hahahaha

 

I would go with the AEM CAI, with the larger tubing, thats probably your best bet!!!

 

sorry forgot the other intake is an AEM CAI but it is for the 88-91 Si, and the other one , is for the 99-00 Si, also the AEM CAI. sorry about that

 

What year is the b16, as you said you throttle body is big than on a normal engine, I think that the the new intake would be the best for you, I think either one would work.

Make your own 3" Slatertake for about $75.

 

92-95 Arospeed CAI fits wonderful. I dont have my battery upfront so maybe not for those with front mounted batteries but for those with rear mounted it is great!

 

get the 99 si one it is larger than the others u will have to make the hole in the front stlightly larger to fit the bigger intake but its made for the b16 alot of people use it

 

thanks for the advice, I got the 99 si one in red last night, haven't put it in yet but it looks good.

 

thats what im doing.

same performace for half the price.

 

can you make a slatertake for the EF?? i was goning to but then remembered that the EF has more bends in the piping to go around the cheesey front-mount-battery.

with the 99-00 Si or the custom 3" one you will have to relocate the battery.

 

what do you think about getting a no-name 3" short air intake arm, then adding to it to make it cold air? anyone tried it? would i have any problems?

 

I'm thinking about getting the 99-00 si intake, and getting an Optima battery so I won't have to relocate it in the back. I think there is a group buy for them but they're a little pricey for me

91 si freak how good is the ITR manifold on the B16A? If you did it again would you get the ITR or Skunk2?
