General Civic Talk - back box

hey guys gunna start usein this forum again :)

im toyin with the idea of gettin a back box and and induction kit for my p reg civic its a 1.4i
uk spec ect,i think ill get a back box first a magnex one probibly and take a pic of it when its fitted on :)

what im not to shure about is the induction kit thow what one would you guys sugest and
how the hell do i fit it :S theres a big black plastic airpipe that runns from the airfilter box to the driver side light ,im looking to replace it with a stainless steal one and get the best cold airintake possitioning i can anyhelp is appreciated :) thank

i recommend AEM for intake. I have their short ram intake and it's great. Get an AEM cold air intake with their "Dryflow" filter. Or you could get the AEM V2. I've heard it's amazing.

kool ill have a look,i just dont know what one would fit my car :S or would most fit?

you just need to look for one that corresponds to the year of your vehicle.

hmm i checked the AEM site thay only seem to have 1.6 engin sizes :S ?

what year is your civic?

the fact that it's designed for the 1.6L might not matter... i had a civic with a 1.5L engine and i used the 1.6L version intake no problem. It all depends on the following:

As long as your throttle body is in the same spot as the 1.6L's throttle body and the engine bay has the same contours and shape it should work.

does your throttle body have that opening pointing up, or to the left while looking at the engine?

its a p reg ..97 3 door honda civic 1.4i hear is a pic of the same one as mines

i want this in to a stainless steal one with the airfilter on the end.

alright, so you need the same intake that a 96-00 USDM LX, DX, or CX would use. like this. (http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/HPS-Cold-Air-Intake-Honda-96-97-98-99-00-Civic-CX-DX-LX_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ38634QQihZ007QQitemZ 170229704849QQrdZ1QQsspagenameZWDVW)

if i were you i would buy a cheap one on ebay like this (http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/96-00-Honda-Civic-CX-DX-LX-Cold-Intake-System-97-98-R_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ38634QQihZ021QQitemZ3 10059803838QQrdZ1QQsspagenameZWDVW) and buy an AEM filter.

Once you get the intake you'll have to measure it or ask before you order it, and buy an AEM, injen, or K&N filter for that size piping. generic eBay intakes are adequate, but the filters that come with them are junk.

good plan ill see what there is on ebay then :) thnks
