ok ok since everyone here convinced me not to get a new PCM, i guess i'll get an intake and a 62 mm TB. trouble is i dont know exactly which intake to get, alot of you are saying i should get a WAI over a CAI, i myself could care less what kind of intake to get as long as i can get alot better air flow, so i am asking all of you to give me some hints on which brand of WAI or CAI i should get, because ive noticed DS has a stake 1,2, and 3. and i cant decide. so show me your input

civic CAI, more work, half the price.....but well worth it IMO

yea, for wai you can use pretty much any aftermarket induction for civic etc. just cut a section off of it. and all you need is couplers. be sure you get one that replaces the accordion like stock coupler.

uhhhh......does it matter what diameter the inatke is!? ok so where could i find one of these WAI?

i'd get 2.5 or 3" especially if you're getting a ported tb.

alright so is there a site that sells these WAI with the accordian place replacement? or do yo uwant me to take chances on ebay? also you said you have to cut a piece from the WAI, where exactly do i cut, and do i use a bandsaw? hacksaw? saw zaw?

niach had a little deal goin on, great setup/great price, couplers included.

and you can cut it with a hacksaw, that's fine, i used a dremel with cutting attachment.

do you think i should buy one of naich's things? are his cheap?

yes, i reccomend niachs, that's what i have, nice setup and very afforable. hopefully he has some in stock.

yeah i belive i talked to him and he's kinda at a stand still right now. but i never got around to asking him a price <_< what did you pay?

i think i payed 85, but that was for full CAI. WAI should be cheaper... 50-60

you can make a CAI from a civic WAI for like $40....

i was going to give you a link to pictures instructions (if you really needed them) but n-body.net is down....

with couplers and proper grommet spacing for the pcv and IAT?

if that's so, then do that.

oh, and i paid 75 shipped.

you don't need all that poop....check out mine....i have had it like this for like 2 years....have been very, very happy with it...and it is better than paying an arm and a leg from dr. speed....although naichs are nice....

sorry i found this is the best engine shot i have as of right now.....

It depends on what you want to do.

If you just want an intake, and are not planing on racing the car, a WAI or the Civic WAI and making it into a CAI of the Alero will be fine, but if your going to be racing the car in the future, go with a stage 3 CAI. This way you get rid of that accrodin piece right before your TB.

Plus with a DS CAI, you can make it into a WAI with just removing the elbow ;)

i race my car....it really doesn't make that much of a differnce....in fact i have run faster times here at bandimere than any other 4 door aleros that have raced here.......with my civic CAI

thats because your the only v6 4door up here
all the others are 4cyl.

What are over the hoses?

Are they silcone hoses or wire looms?

lol you guys are giving me mixed opinions :( i'll just wait till naich can get back on track with his intakes. i guess a cai would be good, but since its becoming winter now, that means its gonna rain alot more. so turning a CAI by removing that elbow would be a nice feature to have

i'm telling you now man, its ALL personal preference.

i get better low end power (that's 90% of the power i use everyday) and better gas mileage with WAI. and no rain worries.

i've had both, and those are the only differences.
