I was wondering if anyone knows what stock intake pipe will work on the 91 civic hatchback with the battery in place at the front. I wanted to put a short ram but it hits the battery. Would the Si work? I also need to know where all the vacuum lines go. I think I have most of them figured out, but there are two lines coming off the intake manifold that I don't know where they go. They are just behind the throttle body, diagonal from each other. Thanks for the help guys.

 

i have an aem short ram intake and it works with battery up front...about 1 to 1.5 inch clearance.

 

Anyway u could show me a picture of this?

 

i dont have a camera right now but its not a straight intake tube. it curves in a s-shape right around the battery...i can get the part number later today if u want to look it up?

 

Get some thick gauge cable, pop your truck, drop the battery in the back, run the wire, and put any intake you want in there.

 

or u can just go to http://www.hmotorsonline.com and get a stock intake there for your car.

 

make sure the short ram is actually designed for that car. other than that battery box. put it in the trunk and put whatever the hell kind of battery you want in it. red tops rule.

 

Ya actually thats what i have is the optima red top. I want to relocate the batter to the back anyway.

 

why would you relocate the battery to the back of a front wheel drive car?

I always here of people doing this- your taking the weight off of the tires that need to be hitting the ground.

I agree with the folks above (sans moving the battery) find the correct intake manifold, or insulate the one you have with a material that won't conduct (arc).
