The Injen IS1520BLK is a powder-coated black short ram intake for the 1992-1995 Honda Civic DX, EX, LX, and Si with the 1.5L L4 engine. Its tube is mandrel-bent 6061-T6 aluminum, which the manufacturer positions as a durability choice. The kit is designed to fit directly into tight engine bays while improving performance. A washable SuperNano-Web dry air filter sits at the intake end, so you can service it without disturbing the tube. Compared with the restrictive factory airbox, the manufacturer presents it as a bolt-on horsepower upgrade that requires no tune, which saves money that a cheap generic kit would otherwise leave you to spend on a tuner.
Buyers searching for a 92-95 Civic 1.5 short ram, Civic Si cold air intake, or no-tune D-series style intake upgrade will find the case for this kit rests on three points: a manufacturer-backed warranty, a corrosion-resistant aluminum tube, and a filter that can be cleaned and reused. Injen includes its limited lifetime warranty with this intake. Installation is a hands-on job rather than a bumper-off project; owners on user forums note that short ram setups keep the filter visible under the hood, unlike full cold-air systems that run down into the fender well. Confirm the fitment for your exact trim before ordering, since the manufacturer's copy is not perfectly consistent.
The manufacturer states that this kit is built to run without a tune.
The manufacturer lists this SKU for the 1992-1995 Civic 1.5L, but its product copy also contains one reference to a 1.6L Si. Confirm your engine size with the manufacturer before ordering.
Owners on user forums report that the stock airbox is the most time-consuming part of the swap, since it is firmly bolted down and must come out before the new tube goes in. Forum discussions also flag the small breather hoses connected to the valve cover and the airbox area; these need to be dealt with during installation, and the kit's included hoses are meant to replace the factory pieces. Recheck all clamps and sensor connections after the first drive. Owners generally describe the job as manageable at home with basic hand tools.
