    Yes the butter fly thing is true.... well atleast i know mine has it. You have your throttle body that has one big butterfly in it that your throttle cable hooks to. Your intake manifold is a two peice and rite where it splits there is a bout one inch thick plate between the two peices and the other set of butterflies are in there (theres 4 of them, one for each runner) and if you look on the drivers side of the intake you will see the vaccum diaphram hooked to it that operates it.

    Re: 88 accord lx-i swap

    im pretty sure mine has it to like it takes a couple seconds to get to like 4g in third then all the sudden boom hits 6g same with the other gears except 5th not sure i never pushed my car i only ben to like 90mph in my car and that was ok shifts and 5th gear to about 4g i wonder wat my car would top at with good shifts going all the way through the gears and redline 5th but prolly not a good idea with 225xxx miles but still curious

    cause you get power at 5000 or 5500 prm its like a boost kinda and for 5th gear it dont matter unless you going like 110 mph and shift at 5000 rpm the more the butterfly opens more air and more gas making it get that boost but its a gas killer

    90-97 accord or 90-93 integra intakes are the easiest to modify.

    please buy lowering springs if you want to lower your car, don't cut your springs.

    If you took the upper plenum of the intake off an look at the lower you would see two sets of openings on each intake runner. One of them is a smaller opening and the other is the one with the butterfly in it. The purpose of the setup is to let you run off the smaller runners(to keep the little torque we do have up at lower rpms) for normal driving and when you get up in rpms the butterflys opens along with the smaller runners so the engine can breath to make the whole 120hp that we have!
