yea so I niticed there is quite of few things needed to be changed over when switching... I have the manifold sitting in the garage waiting to be dropped in, just wondering if you guys had any info on the install..

 

your probably one of the first few on the board that will do the install, it hasn't been out that long, maybe someone from the civic forum will roll in here that has done this in their hybrid

lol i did the install in a few hrs on my 5th gen type SH.

you gonna need to swap all sensors, TB, and IACV. Good luck with the damn intake temp sensor that damn thing is in there so good. Make sure you dont strip the screws or you will be kicking yourself. have a good time, its a major pain in the ***.

 

I recommend you also install hondata gasket at the same time, it took me two hrs just to clean up the old paper gasket sticking on the head.

 

I agree. If you have the money get the hondata gasket b/c your already doing the labor.

 

Channel locks clamped around the tip takes them off quickly. The lock washer really does its job on that sensor.

Idle air control valve doesn't really need the coolant line, so just don't hook them up. (Coolant lines) Fast idle valve mounted on the firewall would be best. It requires the coolant lines and is best off the intake manifold. ya know. While your there....

Not to be a thread *****/stealer ............ but what advantage does putting on the Hondata gasket give you?? I have heard of this, but have no idea why to do it ....

It lowers intake temp by insulating mani from head.

 

So is it thicker then? And a different material other than the usual Honda stock one?

 

Yeah it is way thicker and uses a plastic-like insulating material....

 

and it is also reusable and wont stick to teh metal like a paper gasket.

 

ok I got it in, now just hooking up heres and theres..... Im not running any coolant to the mani, as for the iat sensor, had to cut a slot in the screws to get them out.... My fast idle valve was blocked off from long ago ( coolant bypass mod) I think Im ready to go, cranking it up today...

 

ill admit it, this is thread jacking so put your hands up....hahah

on the topic of the iacv not needing the coolant lines, is this actually true? what purpose do they serve it now?

i dont want idle bounce though so if that will do it dont bother explaining....

 

the iac doesnt need them, just block it and route the line back the therm housing

 

will i get idle bounce like this though?

also, without the coolant lines through the iacv and the thermo valve blocked off will my car idle higher when its cold still?

 

I have always not had had coolant lines hooked up to my IAC and my motor idled beautifully...

 

Good to hear i wasnt the only person that had to cut off the old screws on the iat sensor.

The coolant lines keep the IACV from freezing in cold weather. It matters your climate if you can loop them or not.

 

yea it idles like normal, fast on cold start till warm, then works fine...

also any input on those hole in the back right of the manifold, do they go to anything? Im just gonna plug them, I have no use for them
