Default Full cold air ntake on my gsr swapped EK sedan?

What's the trick for putting a full cold air intake on my EK 4dr with a GSR swap? Will the one made for a regular integra gsr fit my car (line up with the chassis) correctly? Or am I basically forced to get a short ram?

Get one made for an EX. The GSR intake curves around into the side of the front fender well, whereas the EX drops right through that hole in your bay that is where the old intake box was.
Edit: Forgot the i/m is slightly different on the GSR. Might not work then, sorry

I know they have the hybrid apps.. but to me.. intakes are intakes (except the J's racing). I was planning on buying an ebay intake. Yeah, and the GSR intake mani is different. Anybody else?

I would say use one from an integra. if it is a Dx/Lx an after market intake goes down through the engine bay and out the side not through the fender, one for and integra does the same thing. i have also heard the a ITR CIA will work, might want to check but one from aem is 3 inches, that would be the best way to go.

Go for a generic short ram intake from ebay, mine (d16y7 w/ y8 IM) was 31 bucks. I think your car does NOT have the hole drilled for the cold air intake pipe to go through, the EX does.

if you get an AEM brand CAI, the one for the EX will have smaller piping than a GSR CAI. if you search, you will find that a GSR intake will fit if you, but you may have to relocate the coolant bottle in some cases. the dohc vtec delsol AEM CAI has bigger pipping than than the regular 92-95 civic sohc CAI, and will bolt in.
