Ok, I just swapped a b16a into my crx dx, now when i rev the engine i hear the intake take a gulp of air and it serioueley takes about a secound to even begin reving up. Any ideas what that could be?

 

did you rewire the harness or buy a pre-wired one already? I'd recheck the wires if you did it yourself...Bump for a local

 

bought it pre-wired

 

Check the simple stuff first, like your timing. Make sure the timing belt isn't off a tooth.

sounds like timing to me too... when i first installed my b16, the timing was off, and i felt the exact same thing

 

checked the timing. it's good.

 

Clogged cat?

 

no cat

 

O2 sensor? Maybe it's always in closed loop? I dunno, just throwin stuff out.

 

Also is this condition occuring just during free reving the engine or durring acceleration with the engine under load? I have a 00 b16 and it revs really slow too when there is no load on the engine, drives great though.

 

only with no load

 

If you have a short ram on it, it will make a loud chug sound and then rev. Its because when you flip the throttle from idle to wide open, there is a huge pressure drop in the intake. It takes a split second for the air to get through the filter and make it to the intake manifold so the engine actually has something to "inhale" and burn (rev up).

i have no filter on it currently. I just installed the engine and haven't got one perminently installed. I do have a cone i attach to the intake but it does it weather it is on or off.
