Can you put a CAI for a GT on an ST? I can't seem to find one for STs except the garbage chromeintake or whatever on eBay.

There's a write up somewhere floating around the boards on how to make the cai for an accord fit on our cars. It will work for gt or st.

OK, not sure what engines you have in US GT cars, but there are basically two engines: ST/SR/LTD Model code AT200, engine 7A-FE, Air filter pipe work size is 63mm (2.5") GT Model Code ST202, engine 3S-GE, Air filter pipe work size is 70mm (2.75") So, if the pipe width is the same, you have no problems. If they are different, you're better off having a CAI pipe that is narrower than the engine's inlet pipe. I hope this answers the question, or is useful in some way

I only disagree with this part of your statement. Fluid dynamics says you should have a larger pipe than the smallest orifice in line so as to create a better than useable volume available. In all honesty it doesn't really make a noticeable diff.

Doesn't a larger inlet pipe at the engine create a positive vacuum pulling un-disrupted air into the engine? But my understanding of fluid dynamics is intuitive rather than theoretical. Some more mechanically knowledgeable people have suggest same, though. Either way, you're definitely right in saying the difference is barely noticeable. Mostly it's the temp of the air that seems to matter...as in, it's better when it's a cold day

IDK - My experience is in practical use with hydraulic systems and building countless SRI's for various cars. I do know this - the smallest orifice in the system will ultimately determine the amount of flow. If you put a smaller pipe than the throttle body inlet than you have effectively reduced the diameter/flow of the entire system.
See Manny's posts about oil restrictors for further evidence. -------------------- ENGINE: '93 RC 3S-GTE/WRC CT-20b [18-20PSI] PERF: TRD/HKS/ARP/NGK/MSD/ACT/Blitz/STRI/APEX'i/TwosRus/GReddy/Magnaflo/KOYO SUSP: Tein/Bilstein/SusTech/ INT: SS-III SEATS/Toyota Hyper Sports EXT: WRC/TRD/404 QUOTE (lagos @ Aug 25, 2010 - 10:13 AM) Its a safety feature so that people like you don't end up killing themselves or everyone around them.
