I'm thinking about putting in a cold air intake into my CRX pretty soon. i have a couple of questions.

1. is it hard to instal (how long will it take)?

2. I have a motor swap (d16y8) in my car, will I need to get a specific intake for this motor, or will I just need to get a CRX intake?

thanks in advance

Its not hard at all to install.. at most you'll spend 1 hour on it if you have no experience with engines at all. And I believe you should get a Cold air made specifically for your car so it will fit in the bay correctly and under your fender, not sure though. Someone else with more knowledge than me should post soon to clarify.

i was just wondering because in having my engine swap i've bought parts for a crx, but found out that i couldn't use them because it didnt have the stock motor anymore

Probably the easiest mod you can do!!!!!!!

SOme say you have to take off the front bumper, I didn't have to.

I made my own CAI and I just put the filter on the extension, slid the extension up through the hole, from under the bumper well and connected it w/ the intake that I had. It took...umm....10-15 mins.

does it matter what kind of motor i have? or do i just have to buy the intake for the CRX?

hardest part about puttin your cai on is that f'ing resonator, I couldn't get at the mother f'r without taking off my bumper.

I got it out w/out removing the bumper, kind of a pain, but got it out.

sosodef24--Get an intake for the 90 CRX si, since that is what car you have. You can go for a different one, but you'd then have to relocate the battery. Alot of people get the 92-95 Si's for the 3" piping of the intake, but have to relocate the battery to the back of the car.

my battery is already in the back:thumbup: so should i get the one for the 92-95?
