(or think of useing a box).. look at some of the pics or look at the threads and you will see what box there talking about
you dont need an air box and can do a cold air intake on a carb
most japper vans have the airfilter mounted remotely and have a big tube that runs to the carb
there is no reason that it cant be done with a car.
mount a pod filter under the guard or behind the headlight and run tubing to the carb
the box there talking about is not an air filter box.... i guess you need a picture to actully see what there talking about, i will get one and post it up from one of the links in a minute
**edit** heres pics
as you can see there not talking about a air filter box its a box that mounts to the carb very well with very little modification, theres other ways to do it but this is one of the easyest ways to get a cold air setup for a carb

thats exactly the type of thing i'm talking about
just extend the tube to behind the bumper or some where away from engine heat and your laughing
thats a civic AIR BOX on that carb.... its not fuel injected its carbed theres no way to just plug up a pipe..... noobs...
yup u after use the civic carb airbox to use a cold air intake or short ram intake since the 3rd gen carbs have big fat intakes that dont have tha round hole lol
NOOB NOOB NOOB JUST LIKE CAH WAS/ISLOL J/K :P

wel sorry guys, i'm not terribly familiar with civic parts
most people i know would call that a plenum chamber eventho its a carbed car
Down this end of the world an air box is where the air filter goes,everything else is just ducting
I need something like that to fit 32/36. I saw that PGM Fi civic air plenum in the JY last week , I should have grabbed it.
your correct thats its actual name... its just allways been known as "the civic air box mod" ever since i started learning about them almost 2 years ago
thats the thing i hate about the net
you can only go on your own knowledge when you reading something
the differnce in the way other countries call one thing a diff name can be a bit misleading at times
the us calling a boot a trunk, bonnet a hood, mudguard a fender just to name a few can lead to the odd misunderstanding eh
^^makes life a lot more interesting, don't pay them no mind.. lol how was that? I understand you just fine
what exatcly is that called the air box that mounts on the carb. and where can i find it i keep looking and i cant find it anywherethe box there talking about is not an air filter box.... i guess you need a picture to actully see what there talking about, i will get one and post it up from one of the links in a minute

the nearest pick n pull to you is located in Rocklin or Sacramento. Long drive for parts, but probably worth it
He might have a small local junkyard.

hope so
hey guys thanks i guess theres one in orland 15 min away so im going to go and check that one out then go from there.
so i just need the air box on the civic
yeah go to the junkyard and get the piece off a civic and then get ur piping for the intake and a filter. u are gonna have to mod the hole on that piece where it mounts to the carb. after you get it and try to put it on ur carb ull see what i mean. and see where u got to cut the hole a lil bigger or drill a new hole i think for the bolts to secure it.it will use the same two bolts that ur stock big air filter box uses.. and then mount ur pipe and filter how you want to that.i think the shorter the pipe is the quicker throttle respose but less top end. and longer pipe is a lil slower throttle response but alot better top end. but i think it is close to ur hood or will rub r somthing i dont remember.
