Is it possible? I talked to a guy at AEM and he said they'll never introduce a V2 for the 4th Gen, remarking that there just isn't enough room under the hood. Somone on HAN said that with a bit of metal cutting (hmm), a V2 could fit into a 4th gen ... I'm not so sure that the difference in performance over a CAI would warrent this operation, just curious.
Originally posted by justanotherlude So anyways, resurrecting the dead. Can the 5th gen V2 fit in our 4th gen? I mean, we can fit the original AEM CAI in our 4th gen. But can the V2 fit?
apparently it's moot: AEM has somehow made a V2 for the 4th gen, check their website out and it now says 92-01, and Coximports includes a product number under the V2 column for 92-96 ludes. No price, but I e-mailed them, and I'll post back here when I hear back from them.
1) please don't say "retarded", the comment offends me, and many others too.
2) you're serious ray? Lol, isn't the larger piping on the V2 wider than the CAI's piping? With that, how on earth did it fit through hole leading to where the resonator usually is? My CAI barely fits through that hole, and actually one or both sides the piping are in contact with metal, so I'm going ot have to sand it down and paint it to prevent rusting. C'mon dude, take some pics, let's see.
well 4thgenReady2go, believe it buddy, its there, oh and by the way, its not a true cold air intake. there is only 1 piece of piping that comes with a v2 and that is also why they say you don't need a bypass valve, because it isn't true cold air. the wierd thing is that it still makes more power than a CAI, oh well, its cheaper just to buy a v2 than to get a CAI and a bypass valve anyway and not have to worry about big puddles. oh yeah, the civic's v2 is a true CAI .... i don't understand either
wtf??? thats their so-called v2 cai?? thats more like v2 sri. but it makes more power..... interesting. then maybe i really should sell my cai and get the v2.
and 4thgen, in response to ur long post below. i will continue to say retarded. and im sure a lot of the people who read your post will too. dont make such a big deal out of it. we dont agree on something, get over it.

Yeah Machine, damn, i was going to get a yellow top, and I hadn't even thought about that. Ray - I guess the V2 I saw was the one on the Civic, which is why I thought it went all the way down. With that, I understand even less why AEM told me they'd never release a V2 for the 4G because of a lack of space (the guy literally said "a V2 will never fit under the hood of a 92-96 Prelude") Ray, on other thing, I'm guessing you removed the resonator and everything beneath where the OEM filter box would sit, right? Also, the installation wasn't difficult at all, it literally did just fit like it was meant to? Thanks for the pic btw.
Midnite, there was a time when people (and unfortunately there still are some people) were "accustomed" to saying the 'n' word, and considered it part of their daily speech. If no one had said anything, or done anything in response to that, things would certainly be worse for a lot of people today. I'm not saying you have to proper in everything you say, but choose some of yours words a little more carefully, and even if you think you're not doing wrong when you say "retarded", meaning it describe stupidity, you still are doing harm nonetheless. So don't just try to keep it out on this board, try to keep it out completely, you'll find you won't be changing the way you speak very much at all, and in the process you'll find yourself being a little more open minded and considerate.
yeah I dunno, seeing that it's like a short ram on a prelude makes me a little hesitant to just up and sell my CAI, I suppose it'd be asking too much to request a dyno from AEM on a V2 equipped Prelude. They do have a dyno sheet for the 4 cyl 94-97 Accord, and while it's not the exact same engine, it is a 2.2L, but I still dunno if gains on an H23 or H22 would be greater or worse. Either way, they recorded a gain of 8.2hp @ 5250 rpm, and 10.6 ft-lbs. @ 4750 rpm. Not bad for an intake, but like I said, who knows how close these numbers are to a V2 equipped Prelude.
yes, once again my intake is for a 5th gen. i did remove all unnecessary stuff in the bumper. also, you have to replace a coolant line that goes from the intake mainfold to the throttle body because the stock hardpipe looks terrible if it has a set of extra hoses just hanging there, nothing big though, in fact i think you did this with a regular CAI
right, you mean vacuum hoses. If I remember correctly, I had to cap one off (it just sits in the engine bay at the moment, I need to find a cap big enough so I can just cap off the nozzle where the hose runs from; and another hose plugged into the CAI, that sound about right to you?
no, once again, one hose goes from tohe intake manifold to the throttlebdy, this is a coolant hose, not a vacuum hose, while the other hose goes obviously from the valve cover to the intake
