personally i would not go any lower than 2.5 because the AFM inlet is 2.5 and outlet is 3 inches... i would not use any piping smaller than the inlet on the AFM, it is a big difference when you go from small to larger piping than from larger to smaller piping... just my opinions feel free to correct me

 

hm... but wouldnt it be better anyway by getting colder denser air from the outside?

 

i used my cold start assist tank and motor for my washers, since i hardly ever use it i figured the small quantity would be plenty

 

you know for the tons of people that asked me to take the time to do a write up sure havent said anything.... this may be the last time i take my time out of the day and write all this crap

 

ill say thanks again....

this is the best setup i think....

not only because it gets cold air, looks good.....but its cheap....i got the kit off ebay for $40 shipped to my house....all hoses, couplers, pipes, clamps.....everything

thanks again!

 

Good write up


That's exactly what I'll be doing to make my CAI this weekend when I finally have time to put it together, only difference is that I'll be using slightly different piping.

 

Looks great! Thanks so much for making this write up. I will be doing this soon.

 

thanks guys for the compliments, makes me feel better i typed it all out knowing at least a few people will refer to it.... for those that do do this i wish you the best of luck and i do want to see pics...

 

Cool...Time to archive a copy I guess. A copy will remain in the "regular" forum to which you can reply, but no replies after this one will end up in the archives.

 

thanks aaron... any other questions anybody has?

 

What kit did you get. I am wantign to put this all together, but I can't seem to find all the stuff I need.

I thought I might be able to find the stuff at autozone or soem misc parts at home depot to make it work. Not as flashy, but work. But no dice. If i can get something off ebay that would look nice and function that would be very cool..

 

bump. any body know what kit to get or the best place to buy these pieces. I tried home depot, auto zone and advanced autoparts with no luck....

 

sorry, i forgot which one i got, i tried looking it up in "items won", but its been over 60 days

Another writeup, pics, tells you everything you need, and tells you what honda kit (prelude 92-96) you need to get.

 

Would you need to get that prelude kit? or would 2 3" pipes (slight s and l curve) from home depot or someplace similar work just as well? I'm planning on doing this tomorrow, but I was just going to get some piping, some couplers and the filter, but if I need that exact piping I'm SOL.

Anyone know if jsut a standard 3" k&n cone filter comes with the clamp?

 

Excellent! Just what I was looking for.

 

Sure that can work, just gotta make sure you get the right length and bends. Estimate with a tape measure from the intake elbow, should give you a good enough idea.

 

Very good write up, I just wish the pics would come up

 

archived and not one single vote for this being a 5 star thread???

 

so is there any way we can get the pics for this writeup?

 

whoa there buddy...did you look at the date on this?
