any intake suggestions for 89 lxi?

[jonmo]

my car is completely stock and i just want to get a little more horsepower.
i saw a weapon r dragon intake online and was thinking about getting one, but wasn't sure how good it is.

what are some other good intakes out there for my car?
i've got about $200 to spend.

Hey what's up, welcome to the board.

$200 for an intake is ridiculous aside from stuff like ARC and Password, but they don't make anything for us. Get a cheap, generic intake from eBay for a 90-93 Integra or 98-02 (I think) Accord and cut it to fit. Then go get a conical filter from any auto parts place and you're done. Whole thing shouldn't be more than $50.

ebay intake ftw, if u live in cali just throw the stock intake back on when u take it in for smog checks.
and btw i recommend short ram intake over cold air, cold air gets u more torque and response is about the same and you risk hydrolocking your engine... short ram u lose a tiny bit torque but gain alot of response and you never have to worry about hydrolocking it

With that being said, most of these require adding another cut (easy to do with a hacksaw) and turning one of the pipes. You will also need to move your battery around a bit. Nothing anyone couldn't handle. Heres an ebay link

This one is the best bet. Even comes with the tube to hook up to your valve cover. I don't remember them being this expensive, but the cost of aluminum has skyrocketed.

What i will suggest is throw away the shitty filter they send with it, and get an AEM Dryflow. Easy to clean, no need to oil, and a GREAT filter.

Feel free to PM me with any other questions you might have buddy.

Welcome to the forum.

Ebay's got intakes for 87 Prelude, same engines as us. It should be a direct fit.

Same engine, yes, but different body, which is the main issue that deals with fitment.

I went to a Pick your Part today and was lucky enough to find one of the 87 Prelude intakes I mentioned just sitting on a car. No filter or coupling though. I held it up on a 3G there and it WILL work. It places the filter right next to the Proportioning Valve. Best part of it is that with the 50% off sale today, I only paid $1.50 for it.
