#580 is now SUPERCHARGED!

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.

Cyrk, I likey-likey that setup best! Source and part number, please?

Sorry everyone else - but I've never been much of a fan of CF, and I prefer the consistent-diameter tube in Cyrk's setup.

Thanks for pointing out the mounting brackets, everyone - seems simple enough to fab up something like that with an old Erector set.

Just remember, metal pipework will heat up as the engine temp rises and will warm the air as it travels through the CAI to the throttle body. C/F will heat up as well, but the heat is not promoted through it. One of the only reasons I started looking for a heat dampening material to go with. C/F seems to be the best choice, for now, but does come with an ugly price tag.

Oh, and a friendly reminder to fellow S/C'ers.... check that belt tension. Just checked mine Saturday before taking her out for the weekend and she was pretty loose. Cranked the tensioner a bit and the difference was totally felt in accel.
