is it ok for the dashpot to be hooked up to the fpr vacum line? is it hurting anything? thanks for the help guys any opinions welcome

 

anyone ???.....I know that you KNOW that I Know You Know the answer...YOU KNOW!?!?!?!

 

ok guys i'm so sorry i think i got the wrong name for the question at hand. Let me fix this, is it ok to have the secondaries on the gsr im plugged to the fpr vacuum line? sorry for the confusion

 

OK, now finally we know this is about a GSR...

That's not a dashpot, its a vacuum motor. And it's hooked in with the FPR vacuum line.

The IAB solenoid valve (#9) controls whether the secondaries open & close, so all it really needs is a good vacuum source.

 

Thanks for answering my quesion man...so it is ok for it to be hooked up to the fpr line then? and another question for you mr.Blake, where did you find that awsome diagram? i need one

That's exactly how it was on my '95 GSR. The FPR vacuum line provides vacuum to that reservoir bottle (#10), then the IAB solenoid controls when the vacuum goes to that vacuum diaphragm/motor.

Go to http://www.acuraautomotiveparts.org & put in the info for your car, this picture is called something like vacuum hoses. Some other sites use the same pictures, so I think they're from Honda's electronic parts catalog??

 

o so it's not ok for the secondaries to be hooked right up to the fpr?...i dont have the part #10 on the block "ls block" how would i go about it that way? by the way the setup is a gsr head on ls block.

 

I thought that vacuum reservoir bottle was kinda tucked under the manifold. Don't remember about mounting the solenoid valve (you need that too) because I don't have that car anymore. You could buy those parts from a dealer or junkyard, or some mail-order-dealer place (like that website with the pictures).

If you hook it up right to the vacuum line, your secondaries will open whenever you floor the gas pedal. You don't want that to happen at low RPM.

 

so can i just unhook them?......thanks for helping a dsm convert.

 

Best thing would be to get that stuff, along with using an ECU from a GSR engine. Then the secondaries would be controlled properly. You probably already have a GSR ECU to control the VTEC??

Just hook it up to the vacuum line like you originally said, but realize if you floor the gas at low RPM it's gonna have less power then it should.

 

i have a pr3 ecu with the vtec wired to it. should i just remove it? some people on honda-acura.net are saying its ok to remove them.....

 

It's just vacuum lines, you can try it a couple different ways to see what it's like. If you don't like it, change it & try again.

They're only supposed to open at high revs, where they do some good. If they open at low revs, they hurt your power. Not the end of the world.

Some people dismantle the IM & remove the 2ndary throttle plates. They just put up with the power loss at low RPM. After all, the ITR & Skunk manifolds are sorta like that anyway.

 

open at high revs? or not-stay-closed at high revs?
