Im sure this is going to sound noob as hell, but thats what these forums are for. I am looking at getting a CAI for my h22 swap. Would i have to buy one for a h22 or one for a 93 civic?

 

ITR CAI. Just got one 4 days ago and love it.

 

Yup. I'm using the aem itr cai. Fits perfectly.

 

Wow, so its neither huh? I would never have thought that. Cool deal, thanks guys. How much did the ITR CAI run ya, just curious? Oh, and did you have any problems whatsoever installing it?

I have a 97-01 lude 3" AEM cai. I would think the ITR cai work fine too, probably better. With the one I'm using, it barely fits through the resonater hole on the frame rail but that hole can be sized bigger and the intake must be cut to the correct length.

I've actually had 2nd thoughts on installing my lude one and getting the ITR instead. Just because there is less headache.

 

Does the ITR CAI goes in the resonator hole?

 

the ITR doesn't fit through the stock resonator hole.

 

So you have to cut the hole bigger to fit the ITR CAI? So, if im reading all these replies correctly, either way i go (Lude CAI or ITR CAI) im gonna need to cut the resonator hole bigger?

 

is the itr cai loud? can u hear the vtec kick in?

 

no, the ITR doesn't go through the stock hole at all. It goes down along inner side of the frame rail (right in front of the stock passenger side mount.....or where it used to be if you've got an h22), beside the a/c lines, and then turns again under the frame rail.

 

Oh!!! Ok, i got ya. ITR = no cutting, Lude = cutting. Ok, all clear now. Thanks for the info guys.

 

i dont think theres enough space for that 3" pipe to go on front of the h22 tranny , since the mount goes right there .. Any mods that theres need to do?

I've got a ITR intake which is 3" and it clears the front of the H22 tranny fine.

 

i always wanted to do this swap but my friend says i shouldnt.
1) i dont have the right suspension for it?? do i need good suspension for it?? lol, i got skunk2 coilovers and tokico red 5way all around shocks.

2) the way i drive?? haha, well maybe cause yah...heavy foot

3) cant turn...too much power for the car and that its really hard to turn and etc.

so im wondering since u peeps done this is there any problems with it?? any advice is welcome. thanks.B

o0o car is a 93 4dr civic dx

 

The only reason you'd need a good suspension is to keep from bottoming out and/or if you're into road racing/auto-x.

For daily driving, you're completely fine.

What does too much power have to do with not being able to turn?

You can't go 60mph, and throw it around a 90deg. corner

If you mean it's HARD to turn, then keeep p/s.

 

yea I heard a lot of that before I did my swap. the truth is its just bullshit. my car handles fine with just tokico blues and ground control

and just like fastwanabe said, itr cai clears the tranny mount no problems.

Posion: On what mount kit? HCP or HASport? or does it clear both?

I'm would think it would clear both, especially HCP but HASport has the lower frame rail mount. I wanted if it would affect it. I have HCP anyway though.

Yes it will clear them both, I have HCP and it is just fine, but it will for sure clear the HASport too!
