Dedicated DA9 Q & A thread

Yea man they will fit.
In my opinion try just buying a cheap generic CAI system for like 100 bucks posted, then just ditch the crappy pod filter supplied and grab a good pod such as 3A racing etc, and you'll have a pretty good set up
This is what I did with a short-ram intake system
If you want brand names then by all means go for it I guess

ok thanks alot bro, is there anything i should be looking for in the generic ones to get the best out of it?

[espionage85]

nothing is better than an oem airbox, imo
just slap a k&n filter pad in it and there you go

[Jon_51]

^^^ and remove the intake resonator beneath it.

[espionage85]

yep,
i think statistics show that you gain more power with the airfilter boxed of..
theres a link thread on OH somewhere about it.

what kind of wireing loom does the 92-93 DA have?
i know 89-91 is obd0, is the 92-93 obd1?

[stevo716]

[espionage85]

stevo716, since you know the da back to front, you might be able to help me.
where ix the thermostat on the DA?
ive swapped my engine to b18c2, and my fan doesnt engage
ive noticed that theres no thermo plug on the b18a, but on the b18c2 there is.

Theres no thermo plug on the series 1/obd0 b18a there is the series 2/obd1

but basicly the thermostat is just below the starter motor
follow ur lower radiator hose from, that leads straight to the thermstat, and the thermo switch ont he series 2 b18a is on the thermostat housing.
Hope that helps

[espionage85]

ive got a series 1,
any advice?

[espionage85]

i pretty much threw in a b18c2, with a ys1 cable gearbox, used my loom obd0 n added the vtec wire

[stevo716]

mmmm, just had a quick read and apparently, series 1 thermo switches where on the back of the engine,
ur using the b18c loom though yeh?
that shud of plugged into the thermostat fine
