Default Air Flow Restrictor in my 75Hp Civic

I donīt now if you have the 1.4 liter engine on 75hp in US, but here in Europe we got that engine. The engine is 100% the same engine as 1,4 90hp.
The only difference is the gasket between intake manifold and throttle body.

yes, is only a little air hole in the standard 75hp gasket.
The gasket is made of metal

Not that I don't find this somewhat interesting, but why are you telling us this? Did you replace your gasket with the better one?

this is honda-tech right? so what is wrong with someone informing others of this little restrictor plate? i might not live in Norway, but if anyone else lives there and has the 75hp EK might want to update thier gasket.

Also, its pretty obvious what he did, see the diameter change there buddy? I would assume the one on the left wasn't bought just to look pretty on a table.

gas mileage maybe? does anyone know if this is the same as a 92 cx 70hp engine? I'd love to update the gasket so I drive around getting my quotes on bodywork etc on a 90hp engine instead of a 70.

Becouse in Norway and some other countries there is taxes on How much Hp it is.
So a 75hp is about 2000dollar cheaper than a 90hp.

Sorry about the US CX motor. There is no hope for quickly opening up a restriction. The motor is ****. I know. I have one.
