..used these instructions way back when :) just has some issues with battery placement..but it fits :)

A homemade one out of steel would be bad. Steel gets hott and would make the air coming in warm which is bad. A PVC intake is bad as well. sharp bends and PVC makes toxic smells if it gets too hot or melts. Best bet is to just spend 30 bux on a cheap intake and then buy a K&N filter or use stock tubing and air box with K&N crop in and remove resinator and pipe that goes over the rad and run a cold air hose from the air box to where the resinator box was. If you get a steel made pipe intake at least put some heat wrap around it.

i got an ebay SRI and its got no carb id ... just throw the stock box back on and youre good to go ... my car goes in this friday ... everyone hope i pass! http://www.illusiverides.com/forum/images/smilies/Hopefull.gif http://www.jdmuniverse.com/forums/text2schild.php?text=Fuck Smog!&typ=10&col=0,0,0&shcol=255,255,255

very false my friend i made my homemade cai and man it aint smelly toxic made it outta pvc and it kicks ass a awsome sound and it only cost me 30 bucks :P

pvc has a pretty low melting point..glad that's working out for you...but in the future, if you use plastic....try using abs...

umm maybe was abs lol

pvc=white
abs=black
metal=silver :biggrin:

Length of exhaust tubing that leads to where the stock air box was, then slap a cone filter on the end. Bingo you are done! K&N is crap! APEX'i filters are the best....

Whats the worry about the intake pipe getting warm? The air is in the intake for a second or two, it has no time to warm up to make any big difference.

yep was abs
black it is

Dude ebay intakes are where its at. $50 and exact copies of AEM CAIs, great quality. I got one called IEM which is an obvious ripoff of AEM and I love it.

hey civic 16valver just wait till u get a whole new motor before u waste money on doing the 1.3

yeah but its guna be a while coz of insurance :(

i just wanna do a few mods to it for the mean while
