making a cold air intake...

[johnwc723]

i just posted about how i removed the resonator on my car, im thinking i will put it back in and then i will make it into a "scoop"
how would i do a cold air from there, where would the filter for the air go, (if i used one of those "proformance" ones)

of course i have seen them for non-cold-air cars but how would i do it for cold air.

[johnwc723]

also, what would be the best idea (for use of parts) for making this cold air intake?

THANKS!

just use a 94-97 Accord CAI only moddifing required is widening of the stock hole (that leads to the fender well

Okay, I'm not sure if he wants a CAI or a short ram intake with a hoodscoop. I think having a short ram with a hoodscoop would be best. IMO I have no bias though I just prepped my hoodscoop finally and i'm going to prime it and paint it tomorrow. And hopefully make a airbox to go around the cone filter soon. I don't really know what way I'm going to face the scoop (make it a cowl or a just a scoop) I live in MN so there's lots of snow and rain. I have a K&N precharger filter over the cone filter to stop the water from entering the intake. I still would like a bypass valve for the intake though.

can i really use a 94-97 CAI and it will work on my 89lxi coupe??
i was thinking of buying one off ebay if this is true!!

ok..enough talk about if the 94-97 cai will fit or not... my question is who makes the BEST CAI??

[Swan]

oh yeah... does anyone have a Weapon R intake from nopi.com? my questions for that is : 1) do they only go to the front of the car where the skinny stock "branch" or whatever is?.... 2) are they any good?

[Chrome_thangs]

YA you can use a 94-97 accord cai intake on our car. Don't even have to move the battery to the turnk! Someone on here has pics of it done use SEARCH to find it.

The Weapon R intake is NOT a CAI, it is a short ram intake. While it is better than the stock intake system, a true CAI will always make more power than a short ram. CAI's are worth the extra effort.

you can find the 94-97 accord COLD AIR INTAKES on ebay for $39.99, and then like $25 shipped with insurance, i am thinking about trying it out when i have a few extra $$$'s

[xbi0s]

Best CAI IMO is AEM

I just finished mine using a cross between a 92 civic aem intake and a 03 teg bombz intake it was fun losts of cutting but my batterys still in the origonal position pritty much and the stock hole was big enough it also seems to have a buit more pep.

i dont know why people wanna buy a cold air intake from another car, spend money around like 150 bucks or even 100 bucks, then Cut it and modify it and MAKE it fit our 3g? Make ur own, seriously make ur own. Follow the website and ur all set.

Jim told me that the Inner diameter of the TB is 2.5 inches, so all u gotta get a 180 degree U Mandrel bent tube and follow the insturctions, u would be glad u did it.

I got my cai with filter and tubes for 48 shipped and it is allready ceramic coated in and out after an hour drive it is still nice and cool

[c20v6turbo3rdgen]

I went to auto zone and bought a civic intake tube and a filter, that was a mistake! I put it on and cut it about 5 inches to make it fit...I went for a test drive and it sounded like complete a$$! My intake sounds better when I took of my hose from my air box to my wheel weld....

[bobafett]

it doesnt matter what it sounds like man.... did you feel any power gains?

mine sounds weird, but i CAN notice the power

[1988starter]

Yea intakes are not about sound they are about peformance.

[mindlos]

I got the autozone spectre for the carb. I'd say it sounded beefier than stock and smoother than a flipped lid. Performance = better response and pickup. Begs a few questions from people who ride in the car too.

[c20v6turbo3rdgen]

yeah I see a diff but I am used to my "other" sound that I had when I took off my pipe....

[3G Jester]

how can i prevent water from going in a hood scoop?

[1988starter]

I know of people using special foam filters in them that can be removed and wroung out.

[Justin86]

I went on ebay and checked out the 94 accord cold air intakes. They are just about all different. I'm not sure which one would be best. They have different diameters. Some are one piece and others are two. There is also short air rams. Please help me pick the right one.

[turfnnsurf]

Justin, Look on ebay for the 90 to 93 accord 4cyl cold air intakes. from the picd i have seen thay look like they can be made to fit our cars with very little mods.. and thye are a hell of a lot cheaper that the custom one i had made... I love my Stainless Steel CAI and im glad I had a shop make it just for my car.. hehehehe good luck in your bidding....

[89accord_lxi_coupe]

ok, my q is just a tad off the topic. what exactly is that piece, from the filter box to the engine, that branches off and points towards the front? this is a stock setup on the 89 lxi, that i'm reffering to of course. what is that pieces purpose and is it necessary to have it? been wondering for a while.

Burn rubber 3g style!!!
