hey, just got a 97 2.2, and i have a few quick questions (searched the board, and these i couldnt find).... First, i'm leaning toward an aem v2, but i'm worried about the fact that you can't get a bypass for it.... since it's more of a short ram, that shouldn't be a problem right? also, my first planned mods are intake and headers, unless anyone recommends a different order. thanks in advance!

when i had an 94 accord.. i had the Aem cai w/o bypass u wont need a by pass for the short ram... header, i had DC sports 4-2-1 good luck

thanks cl-.... i know that a short ram doesnt require a bypass, but is the v2 for our cars similar enough to a short ram that you dont need one? thanks everyone....

why would you need a bpv for a short ram?

powderman

h22, i fully realize that a short ram doesn't require a bypass valve....what i'm asking is since the v2 (which isn't a short ram) is similar to a short ram if a bypass valve would be pointless. sorry if i wasn't making that clear thanks again for everyone's time

it wouldnt be necessary, unless the filter were to be submerged in water.

aem v2 wouldn't require a bpv mainly because it is still above the big frame manifold thing....i believe

You should just save for the h22 swap....always people's favorite mod

no bypass needed for the v2

Never put a BPV on any intake. Totally ruins the intake, totally not neccessary and basically a big waste of money. All it is a chuck of plastic with sponge in it for 40.00 which you will never need.
