I just installed the new aem cae specifically for hybrid CRX's.
The intake does not have any vac bungs to run to the dashpots on the manifold.
Since I have a breather filter I just ran them into the location the breather typically would go.
I was thinking about removing the dashpots completly.
Three questions:
1. does anyone know exactly what the purpose of the two dashpots is?
I would like to understand that before I consider removing them.
2. If you remove them how do you plug the holes left in the intake?
3. Anyone that has already removed them, how do you like the results.
Thanks for the help

 

i'm gonna assume you have the xsi swap from the integra, since it came w/the two dashpots on the throttle cable/body etc.

I removed one of the two, and plugged off the other one.

 

I believe all it does is let the rpms fall slower off the throttle. I have had one on, and one off, no noticeable difference.

Yeah it is the XSi
Which one did you remove?
Which did you plug?
Any pics.

Thanks

 

Post pics.

I am working on getting the picture to work.
Install was pretty easy. The directions said you had to open up the hole where the old resonator was, but I did not have to. I was just extra careful when I was sliding the tube in. CAI is touching the strut tower bar, but only at the rubber joint.
Should'nt be a problem.

 

couldn't really get too muc out of this...

point out which ones....

 

Thanks for posting the pic for me.
I will have to take a better pic.
I was posting a pic of the intake because I assumed that was what ELL VAP133 was looking for, but that does not help me with my post question.
One of the dashpots is just above the U in Neuspeed and the other is just above the P.
Hopefully that helps.

Thanks

 

Looks good! I see what you're talking about, so yours doesn't look like this then right?

 

No its got the one labeled #6, but it also has another one next to it.

 

It looks like the one dashpot is to keep the throttle from slamming shut and the other is to increase rpm when the a/c comes on. Since I don't have a/c and dont mind engine braking I took both off. I will drive it tomorrow and see if there are any ill affects.

 

I have none of that crap with no problems, as a matter of fact I only have one vaccume line for the FPR and I have no ill effects.

 

Well I drove to work today with the dashpots removed and I did not notice any difference what so ever. I plan to leave them off also.

 

thats a HOT CAI....but why not just get the regular one if ur battery isnt in the way??

 

I got the hybrid intake because:
-It is my understanding that the standard CRX Si CAI is a little small for the B16
-The 99-00 Si is larger in diameter, but I did not want to relocate the battery(it does interfere with that one) so I wasnt sure if it would fit with my goldwing battery. The little battery makes it look like there is tons of space under the hood.
-I was sure the hybrid intake would work and be the correct diameter, since it is for the B16/B18 in the 88-91 CRX

I am pretty happy with the fitment and it sounds good too.

 

i just took off my dash pot on my d16a6 and started her up she seem fine but i havent drove on the road yet

 

Hey man where did you order your hybrid intake? I have heard about them but cant find them anywhere! Could you let me know a website or something...

I got it directly from AEM.
I think the above link will get you there.

Remove all that Vacumm hose bulshit. all you need is a Map sensor, a FPR, and your brake booster feed, remove all other garbage including the charcoal canister. Cap off all extra vac outputs in the manifold and t-body. This stuff is not needed, and just adds weight, and more vacumm hose to crack. Yes, I am a weight ****, don't get me started.

I got rid of almost all that **** in my crx.. Can you get rid of the purge solonoid too or no? Or can you just have it plugged in with no vacum lines?

i dont care about emmisions just need whats needed and nothing extra.

 

I wouldnt mind cleaning most of this junk out too, specially the two dashpots if they arent needed (i have the XSi swap also).

i could remove all that junk with no ill effects? including the charcoal canister? i dont have to worry about emissions here in SD, so i would love to have a cleaner engine bay

 

Yep rip that **** out, I haven't tried it on my b-series car yet, but I'm sure it will work. My Z6 powered beater has only a fuel reg, a map sensor, and the brake booster running off of vacumm. Everthing else includng purge valve are gone. On my b-series car I have removed everything except the charcoal canister, it's been over a year since I drove it, and didn't know you could get rid of it back then.
