Show your Air intake setup

[shepherd79]

Ok,
i want to see who has best air intake setup.
show us.

[Mystic1]

its nothing special but check out my cardomain site for a pic

[nswst8]

I would also like to see your ideas on CAI set ups. I'm thinking of using AEM 2.5 filter and a modified 2.5 exhaust pipe. Should I run it as a short ram or take it as far as I can along the original run of the stock intake.
NSWST8 :cheers:

I don't mind PMs, but to prevent 10,000 of the same question, the CAI is custom made for the car at an exhuast shop, not fitted from another car. :)

[Mystic1]

How much modification if any did you need to get that to fit past the battery, or is the battery just moved to the side?

[kicker1_solo]

the battery is just moved over a little bit. I could just turn the battery sideways but my wires aren't long enough :(

[Justin86]

hum I wish I had a CAI, stupid Lx. :kekeke: If I did if would be aluminum, 2.5" pipe, custom bended, and maybe I'll polish it too. :pimp:

The filter on my original Civic shortram was rubbing on the proporting valve lines, so I decided to go with this. Simple and effective.

Bit offtopic, but here's my 86 with the 89 DX bumper. Wanted a solid black bumper and the cool 88-89 lenses. Gonna do some fiberglass and bondo work to it. Clean up some scratches and customize it a tad. :)

[shane_lxi]

I know you sold that CAI, but how much did it cost for the exhaust system to build it for you? I want one made for it when I buy it, but I don't know what I am going to have to expect to get one made, is it just a matter of bending the pipe to fit right, or what?

[Sabz5150]

hey sabz what kinda strut bar is that/what year did u use?


That's a Ractive strut bar for 86-89 Accords. Unfortunately Ractive discontinued that bar. You MIGHT be able to find one at www.ppsonline.net . That's where I ordered mine and it cost me approximately 50 dollars shipped.

[cdscowboy]

Thanks fellas... :) I love the look of it. Someday I'll make it all nice and purdy under the hood with blue stuff like that.

Unfortunately, I don't really hear the intake. I did the first couple of days...and OMG...so nice. Even my roommate noticed the sound, and he's both deft and doesn't pay attention to cars! But after a couple days, I couldn't hear it over my exhaust. So maybe when I get new exhaust, I'll hear the CAI again!

[BITESIZE]

I can hear my intake screaming when it's below 30 degrees outside, especially in the morning when the air is crisp.

I have some better ones of my 90-93 teggy intake, but this will have to do for now.

http://images.cardomain.com/member_images/7/web/379000-379999/379742_52_full.jpg

Except when I put it on, the part where the filter is (the bottom picture) is where it bolts on to the intake manifold, so it is basically backwards.

[Mike's89AccordLX]

Alright do you guys want a taste of what I will be doing? I have half of the parts at home now. Do you guys want to see what I have now? And tell you what will be here on the 12th?

[Mike's89AccordLX]

Alright guys here's what I got so far. As you can see I have the dual intake adapter for the Weber 32/36. And my 90-93 Integra intake Metallic Red

I have a 96-98 Civic cold air intake Metallic Red with another airbypass valve coming in the mail. That means I have my old intake setup for sale with my old weber carb adapter. I'm the only one to own the Weber intake. And I'm the only one to own the Weber dual intake.

http://images.cardomain.com/member_images/10/web/322000-322999/322549_77_full.jpg

And here are some engine mods I'm doing. I bought a Stainless Steel fuel line b/c my wasn't very good and was kinda cracking. And I bought a hose dress-up kit. I hope you guys like it.

http://images.cardomain.com/member_images/10/web/322000-322999/322549_78_full.jpg


Let me know what you guys think... And if anyone wants to buy my old intake setup with a new air filter I will sell it. Make offers (PM me offers)

[BITESIZE]

Damn, I might have to paint my cold air that red metallic!

[Mike's89AccordLX]

Yeah that would look badass on your car.

[HatchCord]

hey i might be stoopid and i am a newbie but i see you guys have your intakes coming straight out of the intake manifold.. my question is what do you do with the original black box that is behind the manifold that hold the stock filter? also there is a tube where i see you guys have your pipes coming out of. what should i do with this hose? where do i reroute it or do i just seal it up?

[Justin86]

:banghead:
You reomove the box and as for the extra hoses you can just leave them as is or route them into the intake.

[HatchCord]

ok just one more thing. please dont get mad at me guys. where the new intake tube goes there is a big hose id say 2-3 inches wide that hooks up from where the new intake tube should connect to the bottom part of the manifold.. i thinks its the manifold, so am i supposed to somehow route that big hose into the tube aswell? thanks guys and once again sorry

[neoblue89lxi]

That air resonator box I took out where my filter currentl is. Was that to make the stock intake quite or to trap particles of crap? Mine had leaves in it.

[Hash_man_Se_i]

Damn, I think i have to jump in on this and get me an intake. I am thinking about a teg CAI cuz i can get one really cheap, and then dont have to do a lot of work, or I will just buy some mandrel bends, a filter, and start hackin and piecing one together.

94-97 CAI, just like it says in my post, AND in my thread. ;)

i only had to make one cut to the end of the intake, and open up the hole in the fenderwell more to fit the tubing (if u order a small enough OD pipe u dont need to worry about this)

[Justin86]

Damn Mike that is crazy. Whats up with the clear box around the filter, dosen't that defeat the purpose of the hood scoop?

[A20A1]

Here ya go... this is the 4 Barrel Holly and intake I shall get. I'm working on the manifold as I type. :D

[Mike's89AccordLX]

Justin yes it does. But it's winter here and I don't want the airbox to get full of snow so I flipped it around just for the winter. Believe me I will flip that thing as soon as nice weather gets here. I want to hear that thing with the airbox like it should be. And I'm not quite sure if that sucking hot air comment was directed towards me, but I will answer it as if it were towards me. For carbs hot air is a good thing. Too much cold air can freeze the carb. So now I have one semi warm intake source and one ram air induction source. (cold air)

[Justin86]

yea got to love that snow. :D
A20A1 that custom intake is going to be pretty sweet.

[Mike's89AccordLX]

Well this is a show your intake thread. They probably won't post them b/c all that most people have is just a filter element over them.

[Pntbal]

I live in St. Louis and i mean it isn't raining/snowing or anything like that all the time so do you think I would need to buy an air bypass valve?

[Mike's89AccordLX]

Well I would just have it for peace of mind. You can get cheaper ones on ebay for under $10 though. Just search Air Bypass Valve on ebay and find the right size for your intake piping.

[Pntbal]

Alright Thanx a lot!

[Busted_Blue]

well searched to this thread....

90-93 integ CAI
94-97 accord CAI
90-93 acccord CAI

now which one should i get?

[Busted_Blue]

Well, I managed to get a hold of some 90-93 Integ CAI pipes. The thing is I don't have clamps + rubber tubing with it. Anyone know where to get some? I'm curious on exactly what to cut. Similar to Bitesize's CAI I tried the pipe that connects to the TB to the bumper hole. It seems it is too short to go through the bumper hole. I managed to get the more straight pipe in but it seems to have a really bad angle behind the battery to connect to the other pipe. Did anyone do it like this? I'm guessing I need to hack off a piece. Oh yea, What size K&N filter did you guys use? The pipe is 2.5" and it doesnt seem to be too large of a hole in the bumper/fender area. If you have a part number that would be great.


edit: turns out I need either 2.25" or 2.5" silicone couplers. I'll keep a look out for these.

Hey Mike, how do you like that ebay air-bypass you have on the pass. side of the intake? I was thinking of getting one for my gf's intake but I didn't know if the cheap ones worked right or not. Any probs with it at all? To the fuel injected crowd: which is the most recommended CAI to mod: 90-93 teg, 94-97 accord, 90-93 accord (I found this one for about $30 shipped so I am leaning towards it)? The FAQ says all of them but I figure there is a preference.

My CAI, of course.

Or possibly:

"The Doomsday Machine" is a second-season episode of Star Trek: The Original Series. It is episode #35, production #35, and was first broadcast on October 20, 1967. It was repeated on April 19, 1968. It was written by Norman Spinrad, and directed by Marc Daniels.

Overview: The starship Enterprise plays a deadly game of cat-and-mouse with an alien planet-killing machine.

[bwallace530]

thats cool but yeah i dont really car about that i care about getting a short ram intake on my 1988 honda accord dx carb. thats why im asking about a short ram intake not star trek im not saying anything bad about star trek i just really would love for someone to give me some good info on where to get a civic air box i have searched these treads for days and google eaby everywhere i just cant find what im looking for im so frustrated. cuz i see all you guys have it and are talking about it like its hella easy to find but i cant seem to find it at all.

[89sei89dx]

thats cool but yeah i dont really car about that i care about getting a short ram intake on my 1988 honda accord dx carb. thats why im asking about a short ram intake not star trek im not saying anything bad about star trek i just really would love for someone to give me some good info on where to get a civic air box i have searched these treads for days and google eaby everywhere i just cant find what im looking for im so frustrated. cuz i see all you guys have it and are talking about it like its hella easy to find but i cant seem to find it at all.

dude just do a choped box looks hella better and does better then a ram air on a carb anyways

sure heres what the just the lid looks like, mostly just take a stock airbox and trace a filter then cut the extra off and install a K&N for best results, istill have this laying around in a box someplace
