I JUST COMPLETED AN H22 SWAO IN MY 97 CIVIC COUPE ....... I WANT TO INSTALL A CAI AND AM NOT SURE WHICH ONE WILL FIT PROPERLY ON A HYBRID SWAP

DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY SUGGESTIONS.........

 

depending on where the throttle body is and where the old one was located, should be facing torwards the passenger side shock tower, and on how much room is left over to fit it in there cause h22 are pretty big, ind whatch out for water puddles and you intake cause they tend to suck up water pretty easy and hydro lock the motor and that would suck

 

heres one...

Honda Civic 1996-00 w/ H22A 21-5008C N/A New Release $272.50

consider a short ram

 

I agree. A short RAM might be better in your situation. AEM or INJEN make good ones...

 

FTW...

 

That's my question when I saw this torque curve!

Correct me if I'm wrong, but those gains looks slightly inflated. I'm sure that some civics might generate that much more hp and tq, but generally you won't gain quite that much unless you have already done header and exhaust, in which case an intake would do more than on a stock engine. Generally you will see max gains around 5hp and 5tq from what i have heard and read in other sources.

 

damn that is one hell of a gain....i think thats slightly inflated.

 

Yeah, you have to keep in mind when looking at companies dyno sheets that they only put the really good ones on there, if you want a more realistic look at what a cai would gain you just google something along the lines of "civic cold air intake dyno" or something and find one done by a person on their own car, on by a company on one of their cars. Even if it is slightly inflated though, the aem cai's do make better power than most other intake manufacturers.
