    Project Vacuum Line Removal - COMPLETED

    Well, I just finished tuning the carb, and took her for a test spin. I have to say that I am highly impressed with the performance gain, and throttle response.

    If you have not done this mod, I would highly recommend it. I would like to throw a big thanks to Sheperd for the tech support

    It pulls awesome up until 5G then starts to back off, but it will go into the red without too much hassle... Take off is good also.

    I'll get some track results before too long...

    With everything stock, my log book shows 19.10's in the 1/4 mile.

    i'm just itchin to do that too. that damn air suction valve is clickin and everyone thinks its my valves clicking. i dont know how Texas is going to go about with its emissions regulations in the future though. i heard in 2005 they were going to start that bull shit testing like California has. i'd hope not. i guess a lot of people would hope that because there's so many cars around here that are emissions modded. so, you havent had any problems with stalling or anything?

    On FI cars, can some of the lines be removed?

    I'd like to remove some of the 'spaghetti' under the hood to clean up the appearance.

    well, since your pushing me to say yes to vac line removal, i think i'm ready. there's so many people im my neighborhood that have cars modded out with no emissions crap. that stuff is just a waste of power. it would probley be pretty clean running w/o it anyway. i'd rather remove unneeded stuff than replace it.

    You wont regret it. Hardest part I had was re-tuning the carb, but if you got someone to start the car while your turning screws, it works a whole lot easier. When I had the lower RPM before the dash vibrated, but now its pretty quick... I gotta get the cv joints replaced now, they are popping like crazy.

    Now I am ready to mod my civic intake and throw that on that big empty space where the vacuum box and canister was.

    Thats cool...I was about to do the same. I already read the How-To but I just wanted to know what exactly did you do. Like a summary of the steps. or if there any shortcuts, etc or do I need to buy any additional parts.??
