current setup:

b18c1 - motor swap in 99ek w/ boost

swapped out the stock intake for a skunk2 manifold -- since i got the manifold, i figured that upgradeing to an aftermarket t-body wouldn't be bad. so i got a 70mm RPM SERVICE T-Body. well after bolting the t-body to the intake, i notice that i need to port match the intake to the t-body. since then i found out that the Skunk2 manifold only can be bored out to 68mm. also i'm going to have a problem with IAC since i have an aftermarket t-body.?

this is my question ??

since i'm building a car for boost, am i going to have to run my car with IAC? cause the RPM Service t-body doesn't have coolent ports 2 run with IAC.? also if i port match the intake, i'm going to run into with more IAC problems?

does anybody have info that they can share?

-- should i just ditch the skunk2 manifold and go with something different?

let me know what you think

Where in upstate NY you are located?

I like the Skunk2 IM, its a good peice. Id personally ditch the big TB since that is the source of hte IAC problems and I dont think theres much to gain with a big TB, at least not as much as a good manifold.

And I dont know how you'd use a car without a IAC. Thats the idle air control.

Id like to know how ppl use aftermarket TBs if they dont have coolant ports for the IAC.

i'm located in the binghamton, ny area.

since i plan on running boost, i have a Hondata s200b w/ obd-1 p72, if that helps anyone!?.

i might just sell the t-body and have my stock gsr t-body bored out.

anyone else??

iac is on the back side of the upper plenum, not on the t/b

ive been running a 70mm t/b on my accord for a lil past 2 years, no problems,

just have the t/b entry on the manifold cut for 68mm's, put your t/b on and call it a day

ya, the iac is on the back of the int. manifold , it is has coolant lines running to the t-body, on the gsr. now the RPM Service t-body doesn't have lines for the iac to hook up too.

also on the skunk2 maifold, once the entry port is bored out to 68mm, the coolent port on the t-body entry side of the intake to the RPM t-body is due to leak. that is why i'm trying to see if there is a way to not have iac with what i have ?- or just ditch the t-body?

dude, the iac NEVER hooks to the t/b

perhaps your talkign about the FIV, you dont need that thing anyway, jsut use the blockoff plate, they did give you a blockoff plate, didnt they?

0evilEMPIRE0

whats the fiv -- the part where coolent lines run in & out? inwhich one line runs to the iac?

whats the blockoff plate? i didn't get one. thats suxs. do u know where i can find one of those?

folow the coolant line from thremostat housing to the iac and just bypass the t/b, route directly to the iac
