Flipping Carb Lid

[cvergi01]

Push down on the lid..they will only screw down till the screw is flush wih the top of the nut

[shepherd79]

remove the rubber groomets.
it still too high, get a hammer and flatten that bump.

lol. n00b. Get a mallet, GENTLY even out the indention around the screws to even it out, so that you can flip it back over anytime you need, keep in the rubber washers, you do not need to take these out. When you flip it, make sure you flip these as well.

All i did was flip the air filter cover on my carbed 89 and man did that make a hell of a difference. I must have another 15 horses and the gas mileage went up to 30!!! That was after getting 23! Oh and by the way it sounds awesome too! I suppose I'm not the first to do this so smack me if you've seen this a million times. lol I am thouroughly amazed though!

[aerokid1987]

and the n of course...the link that Mike (A20a1) posted up referring to the first fipped lid post here on 3geez.com. i was the "thing" for carbd cords to do in like 02 early 03 lol we were all running out to our cars and doing it in 15 minutes.
and then of course shortly after that everyone started using civic intake boxers and modifying them and mounting CAIs and short rams on them.

good old days

[3G Jester]

[3G Jester]

this thread is like a cockroach just when you think it's dead it comes back

[Australian 86]

I'm gonna be the Necro and say i just did this!

All i did to install was pop the lid, turn the air seals in the lid around, and to make the lid fit back on i removed the seal
from the top side of the air filter. Make sure you hang on to it so it can be reused if you want to flip it back!

It pretty kewl! The thing you notice the most is around 3000rpm (i presume when the secondary barrel kicks in)
you get this great rich, gravelly engine sound. I guess i have noticed a bit of a difference with accelerator response
too. On the power/ fuel consumption front... i have no idea, don't really care. As long as it does nothing bad to the
car I'm happy with these results!

Keep flippin' it guys!
