Default Prelude S Owners: Prop Valve Help

Hello,

This question goes out to the owners of 4th gen S Preludes. I was hoping that perhaps you could get me a picture of where the proportioning valve sits in your engine bay. Thanks!

OK. I don't have an S - and I don't even know where it is on my lude - but i haven't looked.

Try looking on the bottom side of the firewall somewhere. Maybe its right under the abs unit.

as far as i can discern, from the helms and diagrams, the abs modulator IS the prop valve on abs equipped models. and i don't get a weather report? lol

I know for sure I bolted mine right in, but I believe I was only able to use one bolt. It does go in the same place as the Si/VTEC's little splitter-prop-valve-thing...

Ha, if I noticed anything it was the lack of rear brakes after swapping all the ABS stuff out for non-ABS stuff and leaving the rears unhooked.....and I barely notice that. I plan on hooking them up as soon aspossible, I just haven't had the time...
