RBC Intake Manifold Swap & Throttle Body Install // 9th-Gen Civic FBO Part 3 of 4

[@milanmastracci]

FOR THOSE INSTALLING THE KTUNED WATER BYPASS, I suggest tapping the cylinder head and using the included hardware to guarantee the bypass won't leak. I had no issues for the first couple of weeks, but then noticed it had a slow leak from that area. After tapping and using the additional hex bolt, I've had no issues since.

Dude you have the best video on KZbin to how to rbc swap a 9th gen. I legit followed everything you did. It made this installation flow much easier than I thought. I had my own obstacles when swapping out the intake but never the less your video helped a ton. Thanks man

[@mikechipman3189]

Ok, I wasn’t actually looking to do anything to the intake, but actually doing a starter swap. It seemed like this was the best way to get to it. After watching your video, we decided to remove the intake manifold to get to the starter. It was absolutely the best way to get to the starter. Long story short, your video saved my ass!!! Started swapped, intake manifold reinstalled, and running and starting like a champ! Great video!! Thanks so much man!!

[@lllDolph]

I would’ve kept the rail connected to the fuel line and the kept the injectors in the rail since your not changing them. Then pulled the whole rail up as a unit and just change the bottom o-rings into the runners. No gas spillage. Just my 2 cents, not that your way is that much more effort. Good work, Cheers!

[@milanmastracci]

Not a bad idea! I don't know if working with the lower seals would put too much pressure / cause too much movement with the upper clips causing any damage. Might be something to try out 👍

@@milanmastracci generally they’ll come out together pretty easily unless your dealing with heavy corrosion of the runners. But your civic is super clean from what I can see! Silicone spray as you know is your best friend!

Great video as always. K24z3 right here with ported head and a crapton of mods… all motor. Looking to know more about the ZDX tb, as I was thinking about it, but kept hearing that there are voltage issues as it demands more of the ECU and needs to be pinned elsewhere or it will blow the ecu eventually. If ht stick with Skunk2.

[@milanmastracci]

The ZDX TB does require a pro tune as it does pull a bit more power, however has been a tested and proven option. What I have seen as well, is when people run larger TB's, they will actually open up the TB and swap a stock 9th gen TB electric motor in it, so the only thing that is different is the physical size of the port.

[@brendankue9061]

Does the skunk2 have a coupler that works with the larger TB? I haven't looked into Skunk2's intake much after finding Acuity's intake kit & battery relocate.
