ok i had the check engine light on, installed the o2sensor yesterday, then the **** came back on, turns out the knock sensor wasnt wired, (yippie) vtec non apparant tho
now is there sort of a black box for the 2ndary butterflies? a vacumm box sort of an activator switch for them? if so anyone have the correct name for it and even part # from acura?

thx in advance!

 

Sorry i don't have they part #, but it is kind of expensive. I would go ahead and buy the Skunk 2 intake manifold instead, you won't need the black vaccum box with it and it will give you more power.....just my 2 cents

good idea but nah, my intent is to keep it stock as possible

anyone else?

thanks

 

anyone? ^

 

i don't know what u need or are looking for, or if u don't have it or what.. But there are only a couple parts that have to do with the secondaries.. there's the IAB control solenoid valve with a red/blue wire and a black wire coming out of it.. That is hooked up (vacuum-wise) to the IAB vacuum tank and IAB check valve, connected right back to the intake.. And, of course the control diaphragm up top, but i'm assuming u are looking for the solenoid valve with the red/blue and black wires coming out of it.. dunno tho, so let me know more details of what's up and what you're looking for..

Not hooking up the knock sensor shouldn't throw a code. I did the same conversion about 2 wks ago. As for the black box, I got one for sale 25 bucks, comes with the mounts right underneath the intake manifold, ect..Or if you want, I can sell you the whole intake manifold with the throttle body, black box, etc.. for 125 bucks (expect to pay mucho dinero at the dealership). I ended up with the skunk 2 manifold because I wanted a larger throttle body, planned FI in near future.

 

Not having the knock sensor hooked up or operating properly will throw a code. I just replaced mine...

 

well i called parts, and i had a hell of a time trying to explain what i needed

now i want to go and get the parts i need tomorrow (God willing) now what do i need to open up the 2ndarys? the black box is simply a vaccumm box or "tank" correct? i guess ill need to get the breath chamber also?

anyone ?

Where are the Solenoid valve located? I can't find these wires.

 

standing on the driver's side, looking straight onto the manifold, directly under the IAB diaphragm (yellow metal UFO thing), there's a big black plastic canister thing under the intake runners.. the connector is "looking back at you" from this black canister.. I can't think of any other wires in the vicinity of it.. hope this helps, if u can't find it, i'll scan a pic in tomorrow.. let me know

 

thats wierd. I also did a gsr swap into my del sol. I used a chipped p28 ecu and skunk2 intake, so I didnt need the knock sensor wire hooked up. the p28 ecu doesnt have a knock sensor pin. So im not getting a code for it. In fact, alot of hybrid owners told me I could just get away with using high octane fuel, which i do anyway. Although I still have the check engine light on, but thats b/c I need to replace the o2 sensor. Im currently using the stock one from the 1.5l motor.
