Anybody hear of the trick of blocking that little passage into the air reservoir or whatever right below the air filter?
Some guy told me that if you block that your Vtec kicks earlier and harder
anybody know about this?

 

one way to find out....try it and tell us!

 

Sorry, this isn't true, that hole below the air filter is a passage to a resonation chamber purely to tune the sound the engine makes, blocking it might make a slightly different sound, but nothing to do with Vtec at all.

 

imo, the best free mod you can make is to take out the slack in your accelerator pedal...

 

best free mod... removing spare tire/tools

 

i remember reading about that a while back on this board but the search tool isn't helping me find it...can you enlighten me about this and how to do it?

thanks!

 

tighten the throttle cable

 

any DIY thread on that?

 

I thought our accelerator was electronic... or at least I read that somewhere...

You can also pull out your stock exhaust tips in order to acheive a more agressive look.

 

here's the DIY instructions.

Loosen one of the two nuts on the throttle cable. Screw/unscrew which ever until it's tighening. Leave a little bit of slack, then tighten the nut.

It's brain surgery.
