im wrapping up my swap and im wondering what cold air to order, im swaping the 1st gen si-r into a 93dx so i was wondering which year should i order the cia for?

what i want is an aem cai with the bypass valve and a dc header,, also i was wondering who to go through to get them? who would you guys reccomend?

thanks in advance for the help

If you're swapping an si-r engine into our car, the cai needs to be for the si-r. Same for the header. I would say go through Adventon.com for the header and Coximport.com for the AEM CAI.

 

ok so what years should i search for for the correct parts on those sites?

 

the CAI will not fit properly. you'll probably need the 92-95 intake but it will not fit up to the TB properly.

as for the header, you'll need the del sol DOHC VTEC header. that will probably not bolt on properly as you will need to either extend the piping or shorten it depending on how it sits now.

 

so what is your suggestion to do?

 

once you bolt on the header, go to your local exhaust shop and have them shorten/lengthen your exhaust (cat section) accordingly. I dunno about the cai tho.

 

i dont know how that will work since i have a test pipe instead of a cat, but ill see what i can do, im still not sure what im supposed to do for ordering the parts, does snyone know what year i should order stuff from to make it all fit right?

 

im looking at aem cai on ebay right now would the 92-95 intake work with the swap? or should i look for the 99-00 si intake?

 

like i said...the 92-95 CAI will work...it is where the intake meets the TB that will not bolt up. the AEM applications were made to fit US spec models...not JDM spec models where they had B16A civics. the 99-00 CAI will definately not fit correctly.

short rams will fit better in this case, unless you hacksaw the intake to make it fit.

 

well have them lengthen the test pipe then. For the header, it doesn't matter what year you get it for... any Bseries header will fit a B16. It might be easiest to order one for a 99-00 Si, but really it doesn't matter.
