1992-1995 Honda Civic & 1993-1997 Honda Del Sol 1.5L/1.6L Cold Air Intake Kit
Drivers of a 1992-1995 Honda Civic or a 1993-1997 Honda Del Sol with the 1.5L or 1.6L engine are usually after the same two things from an intake: a sharper throttle response and an intake note they can actually hear. This Flashark cold air intake kit replaces the factory airbox with a high-flow aluminum intake tube and a washable, reusable cone filter, feeding the engine more air and adding a sporty, aggressive induction sound under acceleration. The kit bolts on with common hand tools in under 60 minutes, with no cutting or permanent modification required.

Who This Kit Is For
This Flashark cold air intake kit is a direct fit for the 1992-1995 Honda Civic and the 1993-1997 Honda Del Sol with 1.5L or 1.6L engines, in Short Ram Intake or Long Ram Intake configuration.
✓ For you if… you own a 1992-1995 Civic or a 1993-1997 Del Sol with the 1.5L or 1.6L engine and want a bolt-on intake that keeps the factory sensor setup · you want sharper throttle response and a deeper intake note under acceleration · you prefer a washable, reusable filter over disposable paper elements · you have basic hand tools and want the install finished in under an hour.
✗ Not for you if… you need an OEM-style replacement air filter or intake hose rather than a complete kit, since replacement filters are sold separately · you need measurable fuel-economy gains from an intake alone · you are in California or another CARB-adopting state and require a CARB EO-certified intake, because this kit carries no EO number · you regularly drive through deep water with the filter mounted low · you are shopping for a different Civic generation, such as the 1996-2000 EK Civic D16Y7 1.6L.

Check Before Ordering
- Vehicle fitment: This kit fits the 1992-1995 Honda Civic and the 1993-1997 Honda Del Sol with 1.5L or 1.6L engines, including Del Sol S, Si and VTEC variants. If your car is not in the table above, message us with your year, model, engine code and trim before ordering.
- Intake configuration: Choose the Short Ram Intake layout for a filter positioned in the engine bay, or the Long Ram Intake layout for a lower intake path. If you are still comparing intake styles, read Short Ram vs Cold Air Intake first.
- Filter and maintenance: The filter is washable and reusable, so plan on cleaning it at long intervals instead of replacing it.
- Sensors and electronics: The kit is designed to work with the stock D-series sensor setup and the factory ECU calibration, and it does not require additional sensors or tuning hardware.
- Legality: This kit does not carry a CARB Executive Order number, so it is not legal for sale or use in California or other CARB-adopting states. Check your state and local emissions rules — see the compliance notice below.
- Install and water exposure: Bolt-on installation in under 60 minutes with common hand tools and no cutting or permanent modification. If the filter is mounted low in the fender area, avoid deep water crossings; water ingestion can cause hydrolock and severe engine damage.
What's in the Box

1992-1995 Honda Civic & 1993-1997 Honda Del Sol 1.5L/1.6L Cold Air Intake FAQs
Q1: Is this cold air intake legal in my state?
A1: Not legal for sale or use in California (and other CARB-adopting states). This kit does not carry a CARB Executive Order, so it is intended for use where California emissions requirements are not adopted. Check your state and local rules before ordering.
Q2: What vehicles does this cold air intake fit?
A2: It fits the 1992-1995 Honda Civic (EG chassis) and the 1993-1997 Honda Del Sol with 1.5L and 1.6L D-series engines, including DX, LX, CX and select Si Civics and Del Sol S, Si and VTEC variants. Always confirm your engine type before ordering. Browse more Honda Cold Air Intake Kits if you are shopping for another Honda model.
Q3: Will this intake fit a D15B7 or D15B8 engine?
A3: Yes. It is compatible with the most common D15-series 1.5L engines, such as the D15B7 and D15B8 found in base Civic models. These engines share similar intake mounting and throttle body layouts within the EG chassis platform.
Q4: Does this fit the D16Z6 VTEC engine?
A4: Yes. It fits D16Z6 VTEC engines found in certain Civic Si and EX models, as long as the throttle body and sensor configuration match the included piping. Compare your engine bay layout with the product images before installation.
Q5: Is this a short ram intake or a cold air intake?
A5: This kit is offered in two configurations — Short Ram Intake and Long Ram Intake. In the short ram layout the filter sits in the engine bay and gives a direct induction sound; in the long ram layout the intake path routes the filter lower, where it can draw cooler air. Choose the configuration that matches the layout you want.
Q6: Do I need a tune after installing this intake?
A6: No ECU tune is required for a bolt-on install that keeps the factory sensors on a naturally aspirated D-series Honda engine. The factory engine management adapts to the increased airflow, and gains are more noticeable when the exhaust and ignition system are in good condition. Read Do You Need a Tune for a Cold Air Intake for the full breakdown.
Q7: How much horsepower will this add?
A7: Typical intake-only gains for this application are approximately 5 to 10 horsepower and 6 to 8 percent of torque. Actual results depend on the vehicle, its condition, calibration, installation and supporting hardware. On a naturally aspirated D-series engine the most noticeable improvement is throttle response and intake sound rather than peak horsepower.
Q8: Will this cold air intake improve my MPG?
A8: MPG is dominated by driving habits; an intake alone can't guarantee a measurable gain. Expect the main benefit as throttle response and intake tone rather than fuel economy.
Q9: Will this void my warranty?
A9: Under the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act, an aftermarket part cannot void your factory warranty unless it is proven to have caused the failure. This kit is designed as a direct bolt-on replacement that keeps the factory sensors and connections.
Q10: Will this intake make my car louder?
A10: Yes, induction sound increases noticeably. You will hear a deeper intake tone and stronger airflow noise under acceleration, especially at higher RPM; at steady cruise it quiets down. Sound is subjective, and the open-element short ram layout is the louder of the two configurations.
Q11: Is there a risk of water entering the engine (hydrolock)?
A11: Normal rain driving is fine and the kit is suitable for daily use. There is a small risk if the filter is mounted low and the vehicle is driven through deep water, because water ingestion can cause hydrolock and severe engine damage. Avoid flooded roads and keep the filter positioned in a protected area. See Can a Cold Air Intake Damage Your Engine for more detail.
Q12: Will this intake trigger a check engine light?
A12: A properly installed intake should not trigger a check engine light. The kit is designed to retain the factory MAF/IAT sensor location and bore, which keeps the MAF calibration within the OEM design envelope. If a light does appear, it is usually caused by an intake leak, a loose clamp, an over-oiled filter or an incorrect sensor connection — our rough idle and CEL diagnostic guide covers how to check each cause.
Q13: Is installation difficult for beginners?
A13: Installation is straightforward and can be completed with basic hand tools in about 45-60 minutes. No cutting or permanent modification is required, which makes it a suitable DIY job.
Q14: How do I clean the filter?
A14: The filter is washable and reusable, and it is cleaned rather than replaced. Under normal driving conditions that means roughly every 50,000 miles; dusty or off-road use needs more frequent inspection. Rinse the element and let it dry fully before reinstalling, and if your filter uses an oiled element, re-oil it lightly and evenly, because excess oil can coat the MAF sensor. Follow How to Clean Your Cold Air Intake Filter for the step-by-step process.
Q15: What are the benefits compared with the stock airbox?
A15: Compared with the factory airbox, this intake improves airflow efficiency, increases induction sound and sharpens throttle response. It also uses a reusable performance filter, which reduces long-term maintenance costs compared with disposable stock filters.
