I've got the skunk2 intake manifold for a 99 civic si, and I'm trying to install it onto my 1st gen b16a.....

the skunk2 doesn't have a spot for the fast idle valve, it also has no where for the lower port of my throttle body to flow anywhere.....

did i get the wrong intake manifold or what???

 

if you want fast idle with the Skunk2 then you will need a TB that has a fast idle with it, in the pic I have a 94+ GSR TB with the fast idle at the bottom, hope that helps

 

can I just ditch the whole sensor? what will that do to performance/error codes etc?

doesn't the actual sensor still have to bolt to the intake manifold? then with the hoses connect up to the throttle body???

 

the fast idle is for the car to keep idle at around 1500rpm when the car is cold, you can take it out if you don't want it

 

that would make my idle pretty high in Canadian winters though...... So on a 94 throttle body their's a spot to bolt the fast idle sensor on???

where do I put this thing then???? What is it since I can't find it anywhere in my manual???

 

anyone know what that thing is?

it looks just like the throttlebody dash pot (but lower down in the first pic) what is it?

Hello fellow Edmontonian

 

hey,

any idea what that thing is or what it's for????

it's the last thing i need to figure out for my skunk2 to fit on.


another question..... to get over the clearence issues with one of my sensors i'm buying an AEM fuel rail..do i get one for a 94 Integra or do i get a 99 civic Si-R one to match up with the skunk2 manifold???????????

which one are you pointing in the pic?

 

that is the throttle dashpot , it is to keep the butterfly from slamming shut after you let off the gas . i ditched mine and the fast idle valve . no probs here.

 

nope not the throttle dashpot,

in the pic it's the one underneath, it's shaped like the throttle dashpot but bolts directly to the intake manifold and has no connections to the throttle body...

In your picture it would be attached to the grey hose above the "v" in "VTEC" except on my b16a manifold their's a hole into the manifold instead of a nipple and two bolt holes beside it

 

here's a pic:

I am trying to put a gsr on my ITR IM. did you just flip the pulley or change it. /\ this thing on the bottom of the TB is it the fast idle valve mine broke off the nipple thing closest to the IM may be for coolant possibly. any idea how to replace and where to get it.

you don't need that, throw it out

 

I was just going to treat it as a hose junction and arrange the vacuum lines accordingly....... so yeah basically junk it, unless anyone knows why it's there? what it's for?

or has a reason to not just rip it off and play street hockey with it?

 

uuummmmm streethockey.
