my buddy is selling a blitz 3sgte air filter of his mr2 and i asked if it will bolt straight on a 5sfe.. he says if the AFM on the 3sgte is the same on the 5sfe, then it'll fit. can somebody confirm that? i need a new filter because my airbox has a big crack in it.
this is how the base of a similar filter looks like:

you'll need to custom an adapter to make it fit.. 5sfe don't have AFM if i'm not wrong. i bought a APEXI power intake filter. gonna get a adapter customed for it to work.

Yea you can make that work. Even if you go to like Wal-Mart any more they carry Civic intakes for cheap. But you'll be able to make just about any somewhat similarly shaped short ram intake work on the GT.
