Hi,

The majority of intakes I've seen are the J's Racing, the ARC & maybe some sort of drop in filter. Do they have any Cold Air Intakes for the EK9 Civic? I mean that will bring the filter by the bumper?

yes but they generally relocate it to right under the frame rail infront of the tire. if your car is lowered you will probably crush the filter on speed bumps.
 
hmmm i think i saw some AEM cold air intake for the civic, i really prefer the mugen intake, also i like the top fuel instake.
 
here is a picture of the top fuel intake.

i read on a magazine that this intake gave a SIR civic 10 hp!

in my opinion the best intake for hondas is the AEM cold air.
 
Sounds good, that looks like a short ram intake.
Yo have a site for the AEM intake?

Can a B16A intake work with the B?

Hmm i think yes, what you should check is that you buy the ABS O NO ABS intake version, depending if your car has abs ir no.. :nice:

i second that :nice:

i would only change my stock intake "box" for a cold air intake system
 
best intake is a velocity stack on a 3" pipe with a k&n filter, the aem will get crushed on any 96-00 civic if the car is lowered.

no it wont crashed the filter is under the headlight inside the dumber
 
I currently hve a AEM V2 series intake... on ek4 '98. Fortunately had no problems up 2 now & back in gibraltar he hve detesting speedbumpes everywhere. :( Yet again my car being lowed 20mm Spoon Springs.
However i hve seriously being thinking to replace it with Top Fuel short ram. (Read good comments on this particular intake for b16a series).:nice:
 
The best intake for the street is a short ram system with a cold air source. Mugen makes one, as does comptech. This way you almost get the best properties of both systems.
 
The only way you will crush you cold air intake filter over the speed bump is if you drive fast over them. I myself have cold air system and my car is lowerd and never been crushed.

most of the ones ive seen locate the filter under tha driverside framerail infront of the tire, this is why i said they could easily get crushed on lowered cars, by lowered i meant about 2.5" i guess if your car is higher or your intake sits higher its not a problem. either way as long as your not crushing filters your good :nice: check out www.bpinitiatives.com this is the set up i use, i love it.

The cold air intake sounds and give vry good gains thro out high r.p.m... meaning u make the best out of it in open roads or track use.... however iam considering Top Fuel Short ram cos gibraltar has little open spaces!!!:angry2:

I had a AEM V2 on 1 of my old integra type R's. I thought the car was actually slower with it. I'm puttin a J's racing intake on mine. Friend did a rolling road test with 1 before and gained 4bhp and 10fpt :nice:
 
i also have the AEM V2 intake system into the ek4, very nice intake i test it on road before with stock and after, much better and very nice sound at high rev. I will try to test it at my next dyno run.
 
Hi guys,

I thought I'd just add in my opinion...

I's say stick to the Stock system as it's the best heat reflecting material. I know that the intake hose goes down from the airbox and then takes a U-turn and comes back up to the bottom left corner and is still sucking hot air.

Thats where I modified mine... I cut the pipe where it goes down from the air box just before the U-turn and remove the other excess pipes which also gets rid of another baffle air box that robs that induction noise... Then I went to an auto shop and bought a hose that is flexible and can be adjusted to any fixed shape or position and connect that on the end of the stock air hose and run in down to the front bumper where you have air holes on each side of the bumper. If those holes on you bumper is blocked then you can cut it out with a stanley knife.

There isn't any better mod to the stock intake then this in my opinion.. and you also get more induction noise from removing the sound baffle and get pure cold air rushing into the front bumper. If you don't know which hole I'm talking about on your bumper then look above post at rvm's signature pic and it's the ones on the left and right sides. :D

J's Racing and others arnt really that good becasue it still sucks in hot air which WILL reduce your torque and MASSIVELY in summer...

The only other good aftermarket intake is MUGEN, but the tip of the induction hose sits behind the radiator... DOH! LOL

I hope I didn't confuse anyone...
