so i finally finished my gsr swap on my civic ex. Its pretty cool. The hard parts done. I jus wanted to know where the IAB was on the engine itself. Its the only thing left to wire up. If anyone has a picture that would be great. And also do I need the IAB wired up??? because if I'm not mistaken I've been driving without it. I know the knock sensor is necessary to hit vtec, but is the IAB really necessary. Again anyone with pics, I would really apreciate it.

Thank you! I found it now, it was kinda obvious once I looked under the manifold. Now should I wire it or not? I heard some people say its a good thing if the butterflies are open all the time

If by "good thing" you mean loss of lower end torque, then yeah, that's a "good thing".

Honda did this for a reason, I wouldn't second guess their engineering.
