unfortunatly the obx manifolds dont have provisions for the IAC or the anything else for that matter. you have to control your idle using your throttle plate and throttle screw. I attempted to run that manifold but was unable to fit it in my bay and didnt want to deal with not having an IAC.

so basicly your saying that i remove them things i circle there? and control it with my throttle plate and throttle screw?

[turbo90accord]

yep thats what im sayin. Why are you running this manifold anyways? Being normally aspirated you are going to see a big loss in power with this manifold. This manifold is designed for running huge amounts of boost. The runner lengths are too short to be efficient with an NA motor. Also if you are not running a engine management system you are going to have a check engine light from removing your IAC and the EGR valve.

true but my motor isnt stock im running rebuilt h22a4 block with bore, and h23 piston also h23 head with performance valves and retainers also lager thottle body to 66mm upgraded fuel parts, dc headers, aem pully set,took out a/c, msd distuber and wires,and chip ecu i got other stuff to just didint put on yet, but the car came like that when i bought it but i waz goin this manifold for me i think it will work out great if not then il sell it lolz (yea but where can i get these parts to block it off dont they sell like it kit to block it off?) o by the way thanks

[turbo90accord]

youll have to loop the lines or have them capped. Your setup is going to make maybe 180hp. Thats not enough air to use this manifold. save your time and money and skip this mod.

dammm i wish i could, but i just spent 200$$ for this crap damm...so where can i get a stock ported manifold for the h23?????

[turbo90accord]

honestly man your gonna be fine with just a h23 manifold without porting or any of that other stuff.
