dr_broon Posted September 10, 2011 Author Share Posted September 10, 2011 good stinking 1"£££$££"!! finished off the air box today... cut the pipe in the top half of the aitbox... a steeper angle this time, because it didn't come out as far as the bottom one. now got quite a nice noise when in vtec, and seems to come alive more when the iabs open... still quite quiet though when just mooching about. pretty happy with it. also squacked a load of throttle body cleaner in... i had a brainwave as well when i was doing it. the car was parked so that the driver side was downhill slightly, so all the stuff ran out... ahaaa! says me and jacks up the passenger side to make sure that all of the crap came out instead of heading inwards. slightly suprised by the amount of dirty crap that came out... making me think about an oil catch can. also came across an intersting comment on the webs when looking up cleaning the tb... it was for a nissan but probs the same idea for hondas. it was about the coolant bypass, and it was saying the reason for keeping the tb warm is to stop all of the gunk turning into a thick tar and going hard. seemed to make sense.

Oil catch tank makes a lot of sense. Not sure though about the reason for the tb heating though, I though it was more to do with preventing the butterfly valve sticking closed in cold weather??? Not sure now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr_broon Posted September 11, 2011 Author Share Posted September 11, 2011 yeah, that's what I'd read before as well, which makes sense, but avoiding everything gunking up as a reaction to having to have the breather tube recycling nasty stuff seems sensible as well.
