RobE84 Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 done a bit of googling and still confused...was on a bit of a motorway run today. vtec kicks in about4.5k grand bit of pull but mostly just engine note change.big thing is i dont get the wooooosh feeling at 6k when IABs should open.got home pulled off the vac line off the IAB diaphram and plugged it. went for a spin.by god it sound like an anti christ now but still not a massive pull off vtec. any ideas what could be causing this??? Nurburg Ring in 9 weeks so starting to sort out all my gremlins and this popped up today... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noodels Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 ignition off when iabs delete and plug means iabs open all the time. not a massive change in secondary cam anyway as in vtec kick> more of a note change check iabs are working.http://cars.homenetcs.co.uk/honda-civic ... g-iabs.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobE84 Posted February 7, 2013 Author Share Posted February 7, 2013 Testing iabs stationary and it operates works. But when driving no noticeable change in note at all. Vtec crossover is there at 4.5k so I have no idea... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryan.. Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 the kick isnt that hard in these engines. If you want a big kick you want an ek4 or ek9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobE84 Posted February 7, 2013 Author Share Posted February 7, 2013 There used to be up until a few weeks ago. Havent given it a good run up until the other day. And definitely no change at 5.8-6k. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobE84 Posted February 7, 2013 Author Share Posted February 7, 2013 Will try these this weekend. Any hits on getting at the oil filter bearing in mind my hands resemble small who else. Or is the where ones niece or nephews small hands come in handy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steveolkinevel Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 Pulling the vacume hose of the iabs wont realy do any thing, apart from maybe make it run lean, pointless unless you alter the map to suit the iab delete, you rill only make the same power as the fueling is set to increase at 5800 when the iabs open,If you want a bigger "kick" or noticable change at 4.5k put a 4-1 mani on! Massive noise difference! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NIKH25 Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 I have one of these, makes it simple. As far as the iabs go, what mods do you have? if it's standard they're not that noticeable, an air filter and deresonating the airbox brings them to life.
