I got around ti finally throwing my rbc on the tsx. Its pretty easy and simply. Run one t fitting no need to drill. The only problem I ran into was first start I had a huge vac leak I didn't know where until l I found that my 06+ p2r gasket was causing a huge leak. So i put the 04 gasket back on and it works fine. I can definitely feel a huge lose in torque below 3500rpm but man once in the upper rpm and vtec the car hauls ass!

t-fitting for which vaccum line? Was it for the line that essentially runs down to the front motor mount?

Looks great! You should also look into throwing on a J35 throttle body to match! *wink wink*

Curious, are you tuned and/or have the vtc upgrade?

 

[TSX-Kineticz]

can u show a close up of the T fitting?

 

[littlebo]

Have u tuned it ? Without tune its waste of money and time.

i bought an RBC first was not satisfied with how the throttlebody matted up to the rbc.

in my mind it did not sandwich the gasket properly to cover the idle control which is where you had your leak.

 

[adema69]

I have the 06 tsx throttle body it's big enough for now. I'm gonna save up and get o6 ecu and go flash pro. T fitting is on the side for the line that goes to engine mount. As for now tuning wise car drives fine like I said in upper Rpms car pulls nice a good increase in power. I also have the vtec controller on it so I lowered vtec to 5.

I had the leak with the p2r gasket but the 04 gasket covers the rbc perfect no leaked nothing I'm gonna pick up the 04 p2r abd dremel it out of it doesn't match up good.

You'll need an 07/08 ECU for flashpro, not an 06. Grats on the RBC

Lowering vtec to 5g without tuning for fuel, ignition timing and VTC is probably hurting your performance numbers more then helping it.

 

[littlebo]

Looks like you dont understand what you r doing.

 

[adema69]

Honestly this is not my first rodeo lol. I didn't just lower vtec. I've done this before on my s2000 with great success. The vafc lets you lower vtec and change a bunch of other things like fuel correction for certain Rpms as it controls your map sensor. Believe me my cars just fine running ten times better for now till I can afford to do flash pro. For example before my buddy with a 06 si with bolt ons would beat my car by bus lengths. Now he only takes me by a car and I'm an automatic. All due to the vtec engagement being horrible from the factory...

 

[awoc]

VAFC to tube a car .................uke:. They still make these things? Cool tool if this was the late 90's, but in all seriousness they cant let you see what you are changing. Without controlling timing and a little bit of VTC at the vtec engagement, lowering a vtec point is absolutely useless.

 

[adema69]

What? The vafc2 was made for I vtec? What timing cars only got 25 vtc? I have a wideband and change fuel according to my afr I'm not Tryna say in tuning it for a monster I want the car to be alittle more fun to drive.

Get a flashpro and youll see er buddy in a rear view mirror.
