what intake system for civic eg

[dougie_504]

Install a short ram intake by removing stock intake and plugging it straight onto throttle body.
Jack the car up on the front driver side.
Remove wheel on aforementioned corner.
Undo clips holding in the wheel well guard.
Remove 3 bolts connecting resonator.
Wiggle out resonator (most annoying part IMO).
Get a 45 degree silicone bend to connect to the short ram intake with 1x heavy duty hose clamp.
Get a 45 degree aluminium bend to connect to the silicone bend with 1x heavy duty host clamp.
Adjust angle of pipes as required so that you can fit a pod filter to the end of the aluminium bend, down in the bumper just behind/below the headlight.
Secure pod with hose clamp.
Ensure that you secure pipes with a flat/long piece of aluminium with a hole in it (bolts onto chassis where previous air box was, then bend to fit under the hose clamp on silicone bend).
Put wheel well guard back on.
Put wheel back on.
De-jack ya car.
Enjoy.

Any DIY guides to make CAI?

you just get flexi hose and aim one side to your pod and aim otherside to oncoming air when car is in motion. then fasten down both sides.

also remove stock reso, as he said resonator quite a bastard to remove

The problem with this setup is that unless you have a 100% air-tight heat shield then you'll still get heat-soak when you're taking off from a stationary point because you can't guarantee that the pod will source it's immediate air from the flex-pipe without forward motion.

That's why I suggest re-locating the pod filter down into the bumper and using duct tape to seal off any holes in the chassis that link the pod to the engine bay (as well as seal around the pipe where it enters the bumper) to ensure that it only breathes air from under the headlight/around the bottom of the bumper.
