I will alwayz drive my 3rd gen Accord, ya'll will neva c me driving a 4 door Ford.. lol
a few people on here (me included) have found ways to make our own carbed intake. just search through some of the threads. it's very possible, but will be all custom work.

i sold the honda. now working on a car with little bit more potential, an 88 supra. i still stop by occasionally.
Well I just made another intake adapter for the keihin carb... it still isn't that nice cause I had to use 22 guage metal instead of 18 or 16.
Because the 22 guage is so thin, it's almost instantly vaporized by my welder so it took some time.
Anyways the only problem is you need a thick gasket of some kind to go inbetween the adapter and carb or else it won't seal good. Pics are on the way.

It has a 2.50" inlet. and gets slightly larger so it can even use a 3" intake pipe comfortably.

ACT Stage 1, Short Ram Intake & 2.25 Dynomax custom catback w/4inch carbon fiber tip. Thats it for now.

I haven't made one yet bro.... I was thinking of trying to do the same intake u made but from the looks of it, it looks tuff 2 make but it's a sweet intake system. I'd like to make one or put 1 on my carbed Accord and see if there is a difference.... If n e 1 has n e Idea's or has put or created an intake for there carbed Accords, please feel free to tell me where or how to make one, I need some Idea's as to how 2 build one... Thanks again guy's

A20A1, if you decided to sell some of those im interested!
Where did you get that filter hooked to the breather pipe?
i like it better with no air filter! it runs the best like that!

True... I run my carb like that too... but filtered cold air should be better in the long run.Originally posted by DXHATCHBACK

OMG... SHORT RAM IS LOUD AS FUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.
I bought a civic intake and filter... I think it's APC... for like $80
I cut the intake in half, andgled the pipe down toward the steering rack, installed the filter, stuck the smaller vacuum hose to the secondary venturi port and...

oh the filter is the open end kind.
BTW, Did I mention it was loud?
pics up soon... not to worry.

Cant you just connect an intake system tube to the tube that connects 2 the stock air filter and take the stock air filter out and just slap on a K&N cone filter to the intake??? I believe that would work right? I dunno, some one give me some Idea's if n e 1 has n e that would be great, thanks guy's Lataz

no that is a bad idea... the stock air box it too large to have a filter on the end... and if you don't use the stock filter you will suck it engine oil and hot dirty air from the preheater hose.

oh I c now... hey thanks mike for the warning... damn that would of sucked if that happened to my Accord, well soon to be getting Accord... LOL Hopefully I'm getting it on Thursday, I'm just getting my self prepaird for the 87 Accord LX 5 speed carbed, so I better understand the carbed engine.... Lataz Bro Peace

That looks sweet A20A1. I plan to get the adapter for the weber and just put on a short ram intake. Do you know what year of civic to get the intake from? I really want it to look nice. I have an off topic ? here. I've been re-doing this valve cover and it fell on the ground last night from about 4 feet up. I just found it on the floor this morning. Should I still use it? I didn't notice any damage though.
Barring the oil and hot dirty air, why would the airbox being large be a disadvantage? It also seems the opening to the piping is small too.no that is a bad idea... the stock air box it too large to have a filter on the end... and if you don't use the stock filter you will suck it engine oil and hot dirty air from the preheater hose.
With a larger chamber, the air is isn't evenly distributed and circulates around the airbox making the intake moot. I think.
