F22a6 intake

[91kid]

Ok well i got a crazy good deal($16 were just sitting on the floorboard of a T-boned cb7) on the a6 runners and phlenum at my local PAP

Now i am going to pick up the bisi intake gasket and probably new gaskets for the IAB plate...


Now i did not get any "black box" like stated that you need for the IAB's

I've heard about deleting them?

I guess im asking is it better to delete them or go and locate the black box and use them?

[shadowdlink]

You mean, the butterflies?
I'd say get a black box, since it is are there for a reason. If you delete the air bypass valve, you'd loose bottom end torque.

If bottom end torque is not much a concern, just hook the air bypass valve directly to the plenum. You'll still loose some bottom end power, but at least not as much as if deleted the butterflies.
Though, its not the best way, its just an option. I don't have black box either, so just did that.

But if you want optimum performance, get the black box and PT6 ECU to run it.

i believe i lost a lot of mpg from leaving my butterflies open (winter). i just hooked the vac to the plenum. also, i think if you drive with a light foot the valves won't open. i plan on removing the vac for summer though. more fun at top end.

[bcjammerx]

you won't hurt mpg by keeping them.

You won't gain anything by deleting them unless you are FI

you will need the black box and the ecu to run them properly. Otherwise...leave that piece off, get a blacktrax spacer for 5hp bump and a bisimoto intake gasket for added bump as well.

So Will the prelude p12 control them?


what other ECU's can i use?

No, the P12 doesn't control them. The only ECU that I know of and would be best suited would be the PT6 ecu of a CB7 92-93 EX(F22a6).
While at it I would also get the camshaft of the A6, that way you'd properly run the PT6 and you'd also see nice gain as well.

OK well im probably going to be running the stock cam.. as i just want to do easy bolt ons for this motor...

Now the f22 in my garage... well thats another project for later =)

Yeah the PT6 is the only ECU that controls the IABs

[91kid]

doesn't the h23 lude have IAB's? couldn't you use that ECU?

[CB7 Sleeper]

You could use the p14, but you'll run a little richer due to the h23 being bigger displacement. Also, you might as well run a PT6 because it is the RIGHT ECU for the F22.

True True....

now to find the pt6 haha......

how clean is ur engine bay, and how clean is this intake mani, if u bay is clean ill paint the mani. i would like to do that to mines actually. not sure on the color tho.

i want it to stand out tastfully

[91kid]

My bays ok... the trannies nasty but the bay itself is clean... im thinking about haveing the many PC

a cam is a bolt on in my book.

How is this relevant to the topic? Well, whatever I guess. I would get it powder coated.
