Hey Gaz,

I'm doing something similar to what you're looking for - I'm using a 22 degree aluminum elbow at the top, attached to a straight CF tube to the MAF, with the green filter pointed at the hole in the fender well - I'm hoping it will all fit in there without too much modification. The fabricator is making the tube special for me with flanges and reinforcements around the temp sensor and any mounting points - I just need to draw it up and send it to him - his quote so far is around $50-60 plus shipping, so if this works out for me it may be something you'll want to do as well. Depending on how effective the shield supplied with the green filter is, I may enclose that corner in sheet aluminum with some type of insulative backing - at minimum I may get a plastic garbage pail like dragonbob and enclose the corner and it seemed to be effective to him.

WG - I see that you've blocked off the tube from the passenger side that hooks into the intake and replaced with that small breather filter - did you have any issues with codes doing that? It would make the intake easier to fabricate.

Carbon Fiber CAI for '95 Honda Civic plus K&N cone filter. Had to shorten and put angle cut for throttle-body. Like Ldub, I drilled identical-sized hole for Temp. Sensor from SC supplied bent casting.



P.S.---just realized that this is an older pic with the supplied air filter that came with the '95 Honda Civic CF CAI. It was the same size diameter as the MAF so I had to make an adapter to fit it to the MAF.

I was able to replace that filter with a K&N Cone filter that fit directly to the MAF thus eliminating the adapter & 2 clamps you see in the photo.

okay, so I ran outside and took a quick pic for ya!



Please ignore the bugs in the filter ....I didn't have time to floss...

What??? no nitrous!!!!

Jolly Roger, is it mounted to anything in the engine bay or is it just hanging from the throttle body?

If you look real close in the first pic, you'll see the support bracket just to the right of the s/c pulley.

Yup...just look where Ldub said (connects from the "red coupling" to the top of the fenderwell).

Here is my setup... the Hotshots intake hacked up with a VW intake. With a BBK air filter.
