1994-2001 Acura Integra DC2 GS LS RS 1.8L Cold Air Intake Kit
Your 1994-2001 Acura Integra's B18B1 engine deserves more than the stock airbox.

FAQ
Q: Will this fit my 1997 Integra LS sedan?
A: Yes — this is a direct bolt-on for all 1994-2001 Integra DC2 with the 1.8L engine, including LS sedan and hatchback.
Q: Does it fit the Integra GSR or Type R?
A: No. The GSR uses a B18C1 and the Type R uses a B18C5 — both have different intake configurations. This kit is designed for the GS/LS/RS B18B1 engines.
Q: How much horsepower will I gain?
A: Expect 5-10 wheel horsepower on a stock B18B1. The biggest difference is throttle response and mid-range torque.
Q: Do I need a tune after installing?
A: No tune required. The factory ECU adapts automatically to the increased airflow.
Q: Will it throw a check engine light?
A: Not if installed correctly. Make sure the breather hose connects to your PCV port and all clamps are tight.
Q: Is the filter dry or oiled?
A: Dry filter — no oil required. Tap out debris, wash with filter cleaner, rinse, dry, reinstall.
Q: Is it safe in rain?
A: Normal rain driving is fine. Avoid deep standing water to prevent hydrolock.

Frequently Asked Questions About the 1994–2001 Acura Integra DC2 1.8L Cold Air Intake Kit
Q1: What vehicles does this Acura Integra cold air intake fit?
A1: This cold air intake kit is designed for 1994–2001 Acura Integra DC2 models including GS, LS, and RS trims equipped with the 1.8L B18B1 non-VTEC engine. Always confirm your chassis and engine before purchasing.
Q2: Will this intake fit a 1994 or 1998 Acura Integra LS/RS?
A2: Yes. It fits 1994–2001 Acura Integra LS and RS models with the 1.8L B18B1 engine. These trims share the same intake layout and mounting points.
Q3: Does this cold air intake fit Acura Integra GS model?
A3: Yes. The Integra GS 1.8L (non-VTEC) is included as long as it uses the B18B1 engine found in DC2 chassis models.
Q4: Will this fit a GSR or VTEC Integra?
A4: No. This kit is designed for non-VTEC B18B1 engines (LS/RS/GS). GSR models use a B18C1 VTEC engine with a different intake setup and are not compatible.
Q5: What engine is in the 1994–2001 Acura Integra LS/RS/GS?
A5: Most USDM LS, RS, and GS models use the 1.8L B18B1 non-VTEC engine, which is what this intake kit is designed for.
Q6: How much horsepower does a cold air intake add on a B18B1 engine?
A6: Typical gains are around 5–10 horsepower depending on exhaust setup, tuning, and engine condition. The biggest improvement is usually throttle response and induction sound.
Q7: Does this intake require ECU tuning?
A7: No tune is required. The Integra B18B1 ECU can adapt to airflow changes from a bolt-on intake without recalibration.
Q8: Will this cold air intake trigger a check engine light (CEL)?
A8: It should not cause a CEL if installed correctly. Issues usually come from vacuum leaks, loose clamps, or incorrect sensor connection.
Q9: Is this intake safe for daily driving?
A9: Yes. It is designed for daily street use. However, avoid deep water to reduce hydrolock risk, especially with low-mounted filters.
Q10: Will this make my Acura Integra louder?
A10: Yes. You will hear stronger induction sound, especially during acceleration and higher RPM, giving the B18 engine a more aggressive tone.
Q11: Does this intake improve fuel economy?
A11: MPG improvement is not guaranteed. Some drivers may see slight gains during steady driving, but results depend heavily on driving style.
Q12: What is the difference between cold air intake and short ram intake?
A12: A cold air intake draws cooler air from outside the engine bay for better air density, while a short ram intake sits closer to the engine and may draw warmer air but is easier to install.
Q13: Is installation difficult for a 1994–2001 Acura Integra?
A13: No. Installation is typically straightforward and takes 30–60 minutes using basic hand tools. No cutting or permanent modification is required.
Q14: Can this intake cause engine damage?
A14: Not when installed correctly. The main risks come from improper installation or exposing the filter to deep water, which can lead to hydrolock.
Q15: Is this intake worth it on a stock Integra LS/RS/GS?
A15: Yes for drivers who want better throttle response, improved sound, and a cleaner engine bay look. However, it should be considered a supporting modification rather than a major horsepower upgrade.
