I am going to start to install a new skunk2 intake manifold on my GSR. I read the instructions that came with the unit and it says you can remove the IAB. Now what I am wondering is if you can remove that what are you suppose to do with the wire harness that plugged into it? Isn't that going to send a signal to the ECU or throw a code? Thanks for all the info.

 

Oh yeah, and I had one more question. With the IAB gone where do the hoses go. I read that the FPR hose goes to the place on the front of the intake manifold but what goes on the back? It also says I need a T-fitting. Where and what am I suppose to do with that? Thanks

 

i would like to know this to.....

 

I never used any T fitting. For the nipple on the abck, i connected it to the canister that is by the down from the battery.

 

this is what i did:
1. The nipple on the back, i took a vacum line and plugged it w/ a screw
2. IAB - took out black box, removed all extra vacumm hoses, unplugged sensor and let it hang, no ECU cel or nothing
3. T-fitting - i assume it was for the EVAP system, i just let it vent to under my car using some longer hose

 

i installed that manifold on my 98 gsr, after i finished installing it, i realized that the original manifold had a dual butterfly setup, and the skunk2 was a straight flow

i think my vtec is hitting 4800 now , i dont really here vtec engage like it did at 6000 - weird

i could try getting a pic of my manifold installed if it helps you

 

VTEC never engaged at 6000.

It is 4400 at WOT. What you heard was the secondaries opening at 5800, which obviously is different with the SK2.

 

your hood should have a vaccuum diagram on it, just ignore the hose for the secondaries.

 

Ok. The IAB box is out and the plug wire is just hanging there. Everything is hooked up. I would like to thank you guys for all the help. It works great. (Atleast I am not throwing a code!)

 

your lucky, during my install the o2 wire got burned through somehow and I am throwing a code 41

 

How did you burn through your 02 wire?

 

How do you delete this thread since I got all the info I needed?
