ok, im just asking if anyone knows if it fits, the CAI from the 90-93 accord (4 banger) i mean from pics of the kit it looks like it would... and it would leave the filter behind the headlight. the kits are selling for around 40 bucks on E-bay, i have e-mailed a few sellers asking for #'s, sizes and stuff.

the fuse box, on the side of the engine bay looks like it might be a problem

 

this has been asked a bunch of times
got any pics of it?

ive seen an accord, the intake was on the other side of the engine bay. so my guess is no

 

didn't dummy already said that the 90 to 93 accord CAI will fit the maxima. He didn't say if it's the vg or ve but since he drives a vg on his profile i assume that the accord intake will fit on a vg.

 

Yes the 2 piece CAI for the accord WILL fit, doesnt neccessarily have to be 90-93 though. just look at the pictures of the intake you are going to bid on, make sure it is the right kind because many different ones are offered, look for the ones that look like the CAI's sold for the vg's and it doesnt have to go behind the headlight, it could go in the fender well just like the ones sold for max's if you cut the whole.

and yes, the fuse box will probably be a problem just like it is a problem with the CAI's made for the VG. nothing different. On certain kits the piping may need to be trimmed a bit, but not much. Here are some auctions with ones that should fit.

well if that fits i bet a t3/t4 from a B16, would fit on the max too no?????? gees u people just buy the damn cold air intake that was made for a maxima.

 

I have a VG. ANd my wife's car is a '92 accord. even better...I bought one of those intakes of eBay for her car.

I know the filter is the same size, because I have used hers on my CAI while mine was being cleaned. I haven't tried the pipe though. I do know what it looks like.

I will have both the cars together tomorrow. Just let me know what you want me to try. Or if you need pictures or something.

Just off the top of my head, I'm going to say no because I don't believe the angle in the accord pipe right.

 

YES DO IT PLZZZZZ pic, video , get a small pop up book published whatever but this could be a great movement for our VG max's!!!

 

would you like to provide everyone with the extra $100? and while im at it, why dont you just buy the emblem made for the maxima, instead of the skyline?

 

SKYLINES KICK AS* and EVERY wants there max to be one.. (including me)

Yea!... im not paying 150 bucks for a CAI when i can pay 50 and have something that "LOOKS" cooler and does the same... cant see pics of it

 

since when are the current CAI's a problem for VG's? i've installed a few and all fit like a glove...

also these CAI's are coming with generic filters that I would bet don't perform like K&N's or others and don't last as long...

 

i meant either CAI would require the relocation of the fuse box if you want the filter behind the headlight, and k&n's dont cost $100 if you are really picky

 

ok so every one thinks its worth it right.. i mean for 50 bucks you can always buy a Nice K&N filter, what would you do with the fuse box?? just stuff it some place of lay it over the piping

still wana see picss!! lololol

 

dont try and put it behind the headlight if you dont want to move the fuse box. put where the regular CAI goes.

 

I've got a knock-brand filter on my car, and a K&N on my wife's. To be honest, I have switched the 2 filters, and I cannot tell a difference on either car.

I think Cone vs. panel makes a lot more difference than anybrand Cone vs. K&N cone

 

what do you mean ... by butting the fuse box were the old CAI would go?... i mean your not realy taking the whole thing off right (like cutting and soddering wires) so y not just stuff it some place like under the accords CAI tubing

 

maybe you cant tell the difference, but im sure your engine can tell when it sees a bunch of **** going though it when the cheap filter is on.

 

BUY A WARPSPEED CAI upper tube. 75 dollars

 

It may run fine now, but as time goes by and there is more wear and tear your cheap filter will start falling apart. Especially if it's made out of foam. Before you know it, you will be getting crap going into your engine , then you will wish i had a K&N in the first place.

 

NO!, by putting the accord CAI where the max CAI goes, just install it like you would a CAI for a max! in the fender well.

 

ok i just won a accord CAI from Ebay "like 50 bucks" but i just relized... how the hell am i going to put it on my MAF senosr... i dont have an addapter lol
-ok when i get it ill have pics and ****.
-im gonig to cut a hole in the fender wall for more air, i hope this hsit works and i did nto just blow 50 bucks.... peace

 

I agree on the foam part. However K&N was the **** when it came out. But guess what, the tech is not that advanced and is easily copied.

 

Exactly. The "K&N" filter has at least $20 worth of name recognition in the price. I have cleaned both filters at least 3 times I've cleaned the knock off one 5 times) and they are both fine.

 

but you wouldn't be getting that K&N sticker telling people "OOOoooo look at my K&N, it gives me 50 hp, vroom vrooom "

 

The Accord pipe looks very similar to the VG CAI pipe that goes between the MAF sensor and the intake manifold, not the one that goes from the MAF sensor to the filter, it's not even close.

So, if you paid $50 bucks, all you'd get is the filter, and the top pipe, you'd still have to buy an adapter, and a lower pipe.

Just get the warpspeed.

 

i think the lower tube of the accord CAI will work as well
so for 50 bucks he is getting the whole CAI setup, just need to change the filter and the adaptor

 

All the cheap ebay accord CAI's only have one pipe.

What "lower pipe" are you talking about?

and "change the filter"? The filters are the same.

The lower pipe (the one that goes into the fender well) for the VG engine is l-shaped.

The pipe that goes between the MAF sensor and the intake manifold is s-shaped like the accord one. But it makes no sense to get that one by itself.


I have pics, you can email me for them, but I can tell you it won't work the way you think.

Again...THE ACCORD CAI WON'T GO INTO THE FENDER WELL.

I have pictures (remember, I have both cars and both intakes) for those who won't accept simple common sense.

 

see this is my point. you have no clue if it'll fit and you still need to buy an adapter. so where are you guys saving money especially if it doesn't work?

 

how is this a cai if it stays in the engine bay too?
seems like you should just get a cone and put it where the airbox is

 

ding, ding, ding, ding....we have a winner!

 

these honda children seem to have a lot of trouble with intake
first with the short ram and now this
whats goin on

 

the ones that are called CAI's are actual CAI's that go down below the headlight infront of the wheel on the accords.

and they do sell the CAI's with 2 pipes on ebay, check one of my posts in the other thread on this subject, and what makes you think it wont fit? IT WILL FIT!!!, might require one of ends to be trimmed down a lil bit but nothing you cant do, all you need to do is buy a MAF adapter.


and and how could you say you arent saving any money by doing this??? just wait, and all of you will be trying this too.

IT FITS!! jeeez.

 

You'd have to trim more than a little. The S-shaped accord CAI is smaller than the VG s-shaped pipe, and because of that you would re-route it, and probably move the battery. And then, you'd need a different lower pipe to compensate for the change in position of the MAF sensor.

Too much work for the $50 or less that you would save. And you wouldn't get the powder coat either.

 

 

so YOUR saying that it wont fit at all??? well i got one i will have it soon and we will see, I payed $62 bucks shipped, !its colored blue!, it look like it will fit great, the S part looks a little big but without that big black resinator under it it should not be a problem, hell its better then what i have now, im gonig to get one of the digital temp. senors, and do a before and after, i think im still going to cut a nice hole in the fender wall. wish me luck,

 

I made my own CAI for less than $50 and I put it down behind headlight
into the wheel well with out cutting a hole or moving fuse block & it
works better than all the rest. Plus I put on a 3" ram air to the wheel well for more cold air

 

any proof of that?

 

proof??????? cost less
can make it any color you want
and no holes in fender
better power?
No same
But have $$ left over for other Max goodies
Can race to prove it!

 

Funny, I was gonna make the same thing but I found a 3" tube had NO CHANCE fitting in there w/o cutting the hell out of the bracket and sheet metal.

I'd like to see some pics thanks.

 

Yeah, How about some pics... I know anything that you'd even call a CAI is better that that adapter and filter pic on your website. Btw, let us see some pics of that twin turbo you're working on too, while you're at it.

 

I just caught that in his profile....
