short ram intake

[big tex84]

what intake will fit my 89 std model hatch d15 dpfi, the only intake I cant find is the one that says it fits a standard model hatch

If you just want a short ram intake, I think the generic one from Autozone will fit. You probably won't see any gains though unless you do an mpfi swap.

im not really looking for gains, just want the sound, gotta love the sound of a loud intake.

Then get the cheapest one off of eBay you can find for your year/model.

I dont want a crappy sounding loud intake, I want a nice deep sound, that was my original problem, cannot find one for my exact year and model 89 standard

It doesn't matter what kind of air filter you put on... haha. If you want a deep sound on the intake side of things, just take out the plastic intake tubing put a filter on the tb and maybe remove the little restrictor plate thing.

ahhh I never thought about that, good idea. I heard if you took the turbulence plate out that you lose some gas milege and possibly could have some issues. but Ill try the filter at the intake

you wont have any issues if you take the plate out. can't really confirm the gas mileage, never keep up with it.

but yes, you can just put a filter on the tb and suck in hot air, but if your just going for the little bit of sound it adds, it doesn't matter. You could probably do what i did on my race car and grab a rubber intake tube from a Ford ranger and pop a filter on the end of it for a short ram. As for the sound, its loud when its revved up, but you don't hear it over the exhaust(or there lack of most of it)

Or you could run the ghetto set up i had on my old STD. Buy some aluminum dryer tubing from home depot and run it from the TB to behind the battery where theres colder, more ambient air and add a cheapo cone filter. I also ran some more dryer tubing from next to the radiator right behind the bumper up to the compartment behind the battery where the air filter was at. This helped bring in even more cool air. Still got great gas mileage but damn my STD was slow...

i dont know about you guys, but with the dpfi intake manifold, no matter what kind of filter is on it, it still sounds pretty much the same, best to just save the money and do the mpfi swap

Oh yea, I fully agree with that. To me really, its an intake, there isn't much noise to them other than the sound of them sucking air. You hear an exhaust waaay before you will an intake. To me if your gonna play with the intake, change the manifold and go to MPFI.

here is an autozone onefor a 92-95 civic...cut in half on a stock intake tube...the aluminum tube just fits in the stock plastic one...its been like that for years... and it sounds good

just say B16a... your best bet is ebay...they all sound the same and all do the same job...freeing up some restrictions and making it sound like you have an itty bitty turbo spooling up...may gain like .5-1 hp

I would but there are more variations than just one. plus the fact that the motor is a b16 SiR 1.
