D16Z6 Air Intake Question???

I just got my D16 in and was wondering which air tube & air box to use because my 88-91 one will not fit. Also, when buying an aftermarket one.... which do I buy 88-91 or 92-95?? I need answers to both asap. running w/ no filter!!!!.... thanks!

I think that an 88-91 civic Si intake will fit because you still use the Si MPFI setup.

No... I'm using the complete Z6 set up... intake & exhaust manifold & p28 ecu.

I suppose you would use the 92-95 civic EX intake than, but I don't know how well it will fit inside the engine bay.

i think the 88-91 aftermarket intake will work, i don't know about the 92-95 intake. the 4g intake is made for the si, which has the intake manifold in the same spot as the 4g si. so it should work just fine

...does it not fit around the tb or something?

a 92-95 intake is gonna cut straight through the engine bay and will not really work unless you relocate your battery or move it over and jam it up against the radiator support w/o a tie down..

92-95 wont fit i tried on mine...i think the 4th gen SI should fit on the Z6 intake though...

The D16 fits perfect in the bay. I guess I will have to use a 88-91 Si AF intake. Thanks.

The 88-91 Civic Si Intake works great! Thanks for all the suggestions!

im using a 99-00 Si intake and it works fine. I belive that all the intakes are the same.

Really? Do you have a pic of your intake set up please??

the 99-00 si intake is pretty much gonna be the same as the 92-up...its a little bit bigger diameter I believe...but it still cuts straight through the engine bay...so there's gonna be a problem with the battery unless its moved to the back..

Are the 88-91 Dx & Si intake Air tube's exactly the same?

yeah..should be exactly the same.

..personally, I'd get teh cheapest intake you can find... hit up ebay :)

I got the pipping from my wholesaler for $10 for a short ram, but need stock air tube to pass smog.

yes i forgot to mention with the other intakes you'd have to move the battery to the back.

IMO its better anyways to relocate the battery because theres no chance of a spark on your intake from teh battery terminal. Plus you get the added benefit of every honda intake working on your car :P
