Well I bought a 92-95 civic CAI knowing i would have to do some modifications to it to get it to work, however what i was told was not as much work as it took. Firstly, not saying it isnt possible, if anyone has used a 92-95 civic CAI on their 3rd gen as a real CAI, more power to you. However, i found out within a few minutes of receiving it in the mail that it would definatley take a whole lot of work
firstly the tubing given to me in the kit was not long enough. it seemed that the only thing good about it was that it fit the TB perfectly as it should. to have the CAI working good would have required some serious bending of my tubing, some fileing of the stock intake hole that drops the stock airbox behind the front bumper, and very possibly relocation of my battery. I warn anyone who buys a 92-95 civic CAI in hopes that it will not be much work of these issues. after some cutting, drilling, filing, and correct fitting i was able to get some good short ram action going on, which is decent considering i only paid 35 for the whole kit. well here it is. please excuse me for me engine bay being so nasty, i tried to clean it up as much as i could!
