Re: air intake
The air filter my car came with was pretty much standard other than the filter had been changed with a K&N replacement and half a dozen holes drilled in the bottom of the box... makes a similar noise to an induction kit

Re: air intake
yah the dood b4 me took out the whole freakin bottom of the box, now my check engine light is on all the time, not sure if yours is doing that or not. But i know my car is damn loud, and i still have the stock muffler on it. If i do make one my self i just don't know where all the sensors go cause i don't have any pics to go by.

Re: air intake
Sure thing, I made mine out of a Ractive Heat Shield filter and a bendable dryer tube that goes down into the fender well. I didn't even need a MAF adapter because I have a 95 and the MAF is a standard 3" circle. Check it out and let me know if you have any questions. The CAI is about 2/3 of the way down this page.<p>http://www.msu.edu/~leonar40/Car.html

Re: air intake
Even if you did get rain sucked in, just get a bypass valve to go on the intake, this will prevent hydro-locking.

Re: air intake
Hey man thanx, thats exactly what i was looking to do, i just want to know where all the sensors go, and where you got the aluminum piping for that, and the connectors and the coupling. Can you find them anywhere or did you have to go to a shop?

Re: air intake
The filter was $40 including shipping, and the dryer tube was free because I had an extra one laying around.

Re: air intake
the piping was cut from a civic intake, you can find any old filter for like 20 bucks, the civic intake was 50 bucks, and I cut it to fit in our sensor.

Re: air intake
is it a factory civic intake or an after market intake tube, and what about the sensors?? how do they fit back into the pipe if you took out all the other stuff.

Re: air intake
I cut the civic aftermarket intake in 2 parts then took our sensor and put it in between the cut piping. Its really simple just use basic knowledge and cut it, just fit the sensor on the intake somewhere and you'll be fine it dont matter where it is
