( and someone please don't try to talk about the bottom end torque thing, yes the vtec kisks in very low in those motors ) |
Yeah , see we got a 97 si in the shop . seems like the engine has been swapped before . boss in all his wisdom got a 1.6 Vtech from an Acura to put in it . the motor that was in it has a thermal vacuum sensor on one of the heater coolant lines offa the thermostat hosing . From this TVS a vaccum line goes to between the two centre ports on the intake . Like at the flange where the intake bolts to the head. the glange is flat across the top from end to end on the manifold . Usually the top of the flange is kinda sculptured around the ports. If you take the manifold off , there is a small port next to each intake port . Spraying brake clean into a port causes the fluid to come at the injector in adjacent port.
i assumed the tvs drew from , maybe the charcoal cannister. But this car doesnt have any extra ports/lines on it . Now the wxtra area at the top of the manifold butts up against a horizontal mating surface on the head . The engine we got doesnt have this area on it . And we need to use the manifold , cause the acura one has differences from the Civic one . So to make the civic intake work on the acura head . I taped the holes /ports and put in # 4 machine screws with loctite and ground the heads off the screws . And taped and plugged the port on the flange of the intake . I just gotta put one axle back in and top up fluids and see how it runs ..77. |
