Going back to stock tomorrow. Taking the intake manifold off and the throttle body. Got a couple questions.

1. My mechanic cut the hard pipe off the iac for the coolant. Can I hook it back up how it is and be fine, or what should I do.

2. What is the proper torque for the intake manifold?

3. I have a intake spacer on right now between 2 gaskets. Can I leave them on when I put the stock mani back on?

4. In regards to boost.. Is it fine to get a yard turbo and rebuild it? What cars van I pull a turbo off of.

Is there a better head I can put on my car?

Will be swapping everything back over tomorrow so please respond soon.

Thanks

1 - You can run a soft line. It's cheap.

2 - Get your hands on a FSM. You can buy one, download one, whatever.

3 - are you talking about a spacer between your IM and TB? You can leave it on, but there's no reason to.

4 - With the exception of specific turbos, you don't want to do a DIY rebuild. Most center are balanced as a unit, and even if you mark it off and everything, you won't get the same rebalance, and the turbo will **** on you in the near future. That said, if you're looking for something, I have an extra turbo with manifold laying around that would work well for a stock D16. Shoot me a PM.

un-numbered - not particularly, no. You won't see any gain from a head swap, especially since you already have a Y8 head. The only exception is if you can find an already-built head with a cam, valves, and springs. Unless you have a deep budget, I wouldn't worry about it.

If you are boosting doa 5 speed swap first since the auto trans can not handle it.

1.so I can run soft line to it? Where does it connect to on the motor??

I'm refering to the 2 metal pipes that stick out. the yop of the picture where the metal pipes are.

2.got one

3.talking about whre the intake manifold gaskey goes. I have a hondata specer sitting between 2 gaskets right now.

5 speed swap is already in the works. and I heard the d series trans can handel a nice little bit of hp.


And I need to know where this goes

heres the spacer i was talking about

That's not a spacer. It's a gasket. More than likely a thermal gasket if it's from Hondata.

Now you're confusing the hell out of me. I thought you were going to build a B-series?

If I were you I'd shelve those parts if you're building the D for boost and use them for the boost project.

I'd also worry less about trying to cobble together boost parts until the car is 1) back to stock and 2) you've read up a lot on how to boost your car. It's not that simple as going to the junkyard and slapping a turbo on.

And your pics are too damn large.

I'm going back to stock for the time being since the car runs like ****.

Will be boosting jut mot for a while. I'm gonna sell the intake and throttle body.

I just need to know if I can block the coolant ports for the iac. Car runs like **** and it's killing my gas.

If someone wants to text me, my number is 720-443-7525..or call. Dosent matter

All I need to know..



Can I by pass those 2 cut pipes. They are for coolant and I think, connect to the trottle body.

And...Where does this go




Edit: The thermal gasket I have, can I use that as opposed to using the regular gaskets? It has a gasket on eaither side of it and they were 20$ each and I really don't want to have to buy new ones.

Is this the right service manual that everyone keeps talking about??

canadaek

holy **** who the hell made that mess. you mechanic is an ignorant hack. you idle air control should be on the bottom ot the throttle body not zip ties to the firewall no wonder your car runs like crap . that nipple on the bottom of your throttle body shouldn't be there thats where the iac should be on an auto y8 or y7 throttle body . oh ya you need a new iac because the retard cut the nipples off.

This work?

canadaek

that looks like what somebody tried to do to your car but just put a stock y8 auto throttle body on it the iac is on the bottom . manual y8's had a 2 wire iac on the back of the intake manifold

Yea. The parts are for a manual. I'm gonna try number 3 in the link. There's a block off plate on the back of the mani and the bottom of the tb.

Where does the water hook up to?

canadaek

i don't think it does. people remove it to try and keep the intake (and the air) cooler same reason to use the hondata gasket.

ok...I didn't go back to stock but my car is running better then it was. alot better then it was.

But....we have another issue.

It will not allow me to go into anything except park. I have to put the key in the shift lock part to get it into neutral and then start it that way.

Car runs better, co CEL and vtec now works.

Not alot more power but there is a little more power. more noisy then anything..lol
