Diy Cai
 
I am new here, but i searched for a while, and saw that there are no directions for a diy cai on the site, so here it is. http://www.teamdelsol.com scroll down and search "cai", u will see the link to click
I have a question tho. the directions are for the b16 i believe, where the throttle body comes from the side. i have a 98 honda civic lx, with stock 1.6 l engine, the throttle body comes straight up. I have ideas on how to get around it, but any suggestions would really help. thanks

just add a 90degree bend at the end

Did u look at the website? i dont know if the 90 degree bend on the tubing will fit under my hood. i was thinking about using silicone tubing, but i dont know if it will have too much flex right on the throttle body. any ideas? sry about the double post

I know the website...havent been there in a looooong time though.
But...
I know that all aftermarket intakes for y7 manifolds bend back down...they have to.
I bet it will fit...just keep it tight.

thanks man. if it doesnt fit, do u think its a bad idea to use silicone tubing? i know the bend will fit, i just dont know if its too much flex. thanks again, i'll try it and let u know

i suppose it wouldnt make any difference what the tubing was made out of at that point.
I just know its going to be harder to find a piece that would work in silicone rather than Al

Honestly, any ebay version of the CAI will suffice unless you already have the piping on hand.
