mackinfella Posted January 26, 2011 Author Share Posted January 26, 2011 There's no way to 'tune' the IAB mate.You can turn it off though There is a vacuum hose going to the disk looking thing at the passenger side of the inlet manifold.Without the vacuum hose connected the IAB's remain open all the time. You can't disconnect the hose or you will get a fault code flashing on the dash, but if you use a tie wrap, make a loop in the vac hose and block it off (a bit like getting a kink in a hose pipe!) that will majorly reduce the vacuum pressure and leave the IAB's 90% open.Don't think it will give you much of a performance increase unless use raise the VTEC engagement point though.I'd recommend raising the VTEC engagement if you are disabling the IABs..... done this earlier... kinked the hose pipe with some good cable tie and my god there is some bang at 4500rpm haha altho there is a stronger pull still around the 5800rpm mark.. im gonna get vtec controler (nothin fancy) and up the vtec to 5300rpm and see how that works..

johngreen537 Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 The fuelling is still the same mate, so the big bang will be the extra fuel being dumped in the mix too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

azim Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 i done some googling and found out that to increase bhp it doesent mean that your vtec should kick in hard the smoother engagement seeems to produce more bhp on paper... and they mentioned that each car has their own best vtec engagement point you take it to the dyno and they do a run with vtec disabled then see where the car starts losing power and prepare vtec to be engaged 300 rpm before that point like that when the car starts losing power vtec kicks in and keeps it stable... it makes sense but i dont know much about mechanics maybe someone may have a different opinion?
