I want to get a cool air intake for my 1990 CRX Si. I have a d16y8 (from a 98 Civic ex) swap in it. I was wondering if I need to get the air intake for a 98 civic or for a 90 CRX. Can you help?

 

why don't u come over to the east coast so i can keep ur
"Races Won : 2" to only 2

 

:slap: what the **** is that supposed to mean?

Let me rephrase what I was saying....can you modify a CRX intake so that it will fit or do you have to use the one for the swap that I used?

 

prolly the one from the swap..im saying get over here to the east coast so u can't have any more race wins after i beat u

 

Get a CAI for the make/model of the vehicle it's going into.

 

now i'm confused. i think that I am going to go with the 98 Civic CAI because the stock intake for that model is already in my car.

 

Ehhh they might be almost the same. I have a ZC with a 92-95 Civic CAI in my car...



I could have used the 88-91 Civic one but it has ugly curves in it to go around the battery, and I have no battery in the engine so I went with the 92-95 Civic one since it will flow better and looks nicer.

I think you could probably use most any Civic intake as the TBs are usually in about the same spot on all D-series engines.

 

since I have no battery in the front i will go with the 98 civic cai

 

Like fourthgenhatch said, if you don't have the battery up front any longer, you can get the 92-95, or the 96+, but the 88-91's have that crappy bend to go around the battery.

Beware that you might have to relocate the battery to get the 96+ to fit. I'm not positive on this though.

The location of the TB will not make that big of difference.
