CAI for swap help

By rustyrex
- Mon Feb 18, 2013 5:45 am #326688 I am trying to find a new CAI for my 95 hatch with a D16A6 swap. But, i dont kow what to buy. The hatch is a CX and i know the TB for the stock motor is alot smaller than the A6. would a CAI for a 92-92 civic with the 1.6 work?

If they are different size throttle bodies, it would only be by a mm or two. I thought that all 92-95 D series were the same size though ... the CX intake manifold is a lot smaller than the EX/Si.

On you mean the outer edge of the lip where the hose goes... I was thinking of the inner dia.

I have my msd coil and a second battery mounted where the factor air box goes. I need something small and round giggity.
