Thread: Need help fast!!!!!!

That hose goes to the intercooler piping. Every SR I ever did has it that way and never had a problem.

I'm really curious as to why he's plumbing the Hondas differently. Their idle control valves (regular and auxiliary if they have them) should be hooked up the same way. I'm thinking he was confused and thinking that hose was for the crank case ventilation system? That's the only one you want before the turbo (well, and BOV recirc).

So they got you all set at the shop now?

One obvious thing that pops out at me is this: Honda = MAP, not MAF. They meter air differently, and thus the requirement for the AIC to be in-line with the boost source is not required on a MAP based car. This is my thinking though it may be completely wrong. The AIC is for idle control, and idle control only...

As mentioned earlier, the way our auxiliary idle control valve works, plumbing it before the turbo provides a large boost leak (until the car has fully warmed up and the valve closes). Maybe Honda's have a different style valve, or a one-way check valve to control flow, or maybe no auxiliary valve at all. The main idle control valve is probably okay to plumb where ever you want and maybe that's what is going on with the Hondas. On N/A MAP cars you can even give it its own filter if you want to avoid any hoses.

that makes sense, they probably avoid plumbing it into the IC piping because that just creates another area for boost leaks to occur. It's interesting that they would have a 1 way valve on stock N/A setups though, but it must be something like that.

Most hondas have their idle air control valve feed in through the throttle body. Not through a seperate hose like ours. So there is no idle air control hose or bung welded anywhere on hondas.

Which makes sense why the only hose he's used to dealing with (the crank case ventilation hose) gets plumbed to before the turbo.

Exactly....
