What do you guys use for a throttle cable when swapping a B18A1 in a CRX.

Our engine didnt come with the throttle cable on the intake manifold. And it doesnt look like it will work judging by the location the holes are drilled.

Also whats the round vacuum diaphram device that has the word up on it on the side of the manifold??? Im assuming this isnt necessary on a CRX since the D series motors do not have this

 

Use a 90-93 integra throttle cable. Im not sure what diaphram you are talking about, got a picture?

 

If its on the mani its not used. You can plug it or leave it open. It orginally goes into the intake tube.

OK thanks guys i will get the throttle cable.

I dont have a pic of it unfortunately

 

Do you mean the dashpot? It's debatable whether you use it or not. My B16A has one and I have it hooked up.

 

no idea...it looks like it has a diaphram on it to regulate air to the IAC maybe?

 

Just lookd on alldatapro.com

FYI the dashpot is the one hook don the throttle

The one im talking about is called the air boost valve

 

its mounted on the intake mani though right not the T/B I've always seen it pluged unless you have all the teg hoses and intake piping.

 

That is the dashpot.. it controlls the high idle, for the AC.. i took mine off, and used a vacuum plug.. worked great.. or, you could go with the ITR manifold, and be gone with alot of extra crap.

 

its called the air boost valve.

I looked it up on alldatapro.com

 

AC equipment. Not needed unless your running Air Conditioning.

Its this thing, right?

 

that, and i belive the one to the left of that.. sorta hard to see in that post, but its behind the clutch cable.. if you look at it.. it controls the butterfly.. thats just a vaccum advance.

 

YUP!!!

Thanks

Also thanks to built b16a i didnt know that one on the throttle controlled timing adv. makes perfect sense, since its a elec. advance system! COOL!!

 

please explain to me how "throttle controlled timing adv." works?
