Affordable Short intake for EFI

[azazel_18_2]

I don't know if this ever has been discussed. I bought a Weapon-R short intake and it put me back $110 shipped two years ago. For the little improvement I got I was a little pissed. I did a little research and the short intakes from the 84-91 Prelude with the 2.0 EFI engine will work with no modification. You can buy one of those on EBAY for $30 shipped!! With that price I would not be dissappointed. I bought one for my car just to get that shiny polished look and it fit perfectly.

i dont wanna sound like a dick but you should have done a little more research, this has been talked about before and yea ebay is great i got a full CAI of a teg from ebay and it was only 30 bucks, then add about 10 min of cutting and she was in, works like a charm

full intake, headers and exhaust would net you about 15 horsepower, if you can notice 15 hp you're quite a finely tuned robot. IMO.

It's more for sound and bragging props then anything else. "Yeah man I have a cold air intake on my honda civic! BRAG"

dude why buy a short intake? no really. i bought a full 94-97 accord cai for 30 shipped, and only a little work to make it fit...

[azazel_18_2]

First off I HATE the cai. I had one in my 98 civic and hit a little puddle and my engine gulped a shit load of watter in it and blew my engine wide open!! To hell with that shit. WHy get a teg intake that needs modification? That sounds fuckin stupid compared to an intake for a 84-91 prelude that fits perfectly.

[bobafett]

well i havent seen any 84-87 prelude cold air intakes. if you have, they are probably a closer fit. but i have only seen the short ram intakes.

since u are asking about short ram intakes then i suggest a 92-95 civic, OR you could try the prelude one, which probably would fit!

btw, all you needed was a CAI bypass filter on your civic and you may not have hydrolocked it! :(

[azazel_18_2]

I had just ordered the Air bypass and this happened. Oh well, I wanted to rebuild her anyways. BUt yeah, you can get the 84-91 lude intake off e-bay and it is a perfect fit.

BUt yeah, you can get the 84-91 lude intake off e-bay and it is a perfect fit.

Ok man, we get it.

home made Inake, made with Mandrel bent steel tubing, only goes upto $30 bux with everything. If you can beat that, ill consider it a good buy. and im talking about cold air, not short ram intake.

[2drSE-i]

yea man what you have is a short ram, much different from a CAI. but you do have a point, until i make time to get my full CAI on with the bypass filter, im sticking with my short ram (half of my cai pipe lmao)
