Topic #8202 25 posts Started by Digndoug
ok, for those who asked and those who care.. I bought a 92-95 civic cai off ebay for only 28 bucks, any civic cai will work. I just started out by removeing all the extra crap, well the old intake... i removed it down even underneth the fuse box..and under there is a hole. So i ran the pipes off and down where the old one went. works fine was real easy and cheap. Il ad a link to go to see pics,

hey what kind of front lip is that? and where can i get one?
You got a good buy. my civic intake and filter cost me about $90 >frown.gif> . I wish I had looked around more to get a cheap one, but at the time all I could think about was getting an intake on my car, I was too excited to think about the price. >rolleyes.gif>

its all good, I jget sick of every one with an exhaust and intake, thinking that they have an extra 20-50 hp, when on a stock 4 banger it dosnt do to much more than maybe 10. I just hate ricers, thats why i wish i still had my bimmer, cause it was fine then and every thing was to expensive to do stuff to. well yeah so, thats about it
Hey Uppity?? So i dont really need a CAI if all i have is a Header and exhaust?? Just a question...thanx bro.
Yes sir, like the Greddy SP. I dont know exactly what it does, but i think i want it. >biggrin.gif>
You guys are such a bunch of know it all doubters. If I can get off work next week, I'll have dyno numbers to shut you all up.
Like thats is gonna stop they doubting. I think some prefer to go for personal experience than numbers. But yeah, if you post those sheets, we could benefit from it.

ok, I know that my cai is not going to do wounders. I know it is only going to produce about 1-1.5 hp, and that has been proven on a stock st with just a cai. I hate trying to mod 4 bangers, cause it dosnt get to far, without turbo or supercharger, besides, the only reason i got it, is cause it was 28 bucks. I would never waste 180 bucks on only a cai. but it does sound really cool, and ls loud as ****, i mean rally, f-ing loud.
SpeedToe, bring da' numbers, baby, that's what I love to see...real proof >biggrin.gif>

what so many people care about is peak gains, but the truth is, its the improvements in the power band that make simple mods like IHE worthwhile.

so what if a CAI only adds say 2 peak hp. the gains everywhere else might be as high as 10hp

and having intake, header and exhaust all on a car, the three parts will compliment eachother and increase the efficiency of the engine

which means more peak power, and a better powerband. peak power comes at a certain rpm, does your engine always stay at that rpm?

how far does that cai go into that hole? before i go buy a bypass valve
and do you need to do anything to make the o2 sensora or anything else fit
