I had a similar situation to you, but I run my DBW car with the Flashpro. I didn't have any real issues with running the DBW/Flashpro, my issue was that it was mapped by an Idiot.

Although the car produced power once it was revving it was as flat as a pancake off boost, which would suit some people but it wasn't what I was after, hence the reason I've gone turbo.i got caught out by a Golf diesel, untill it was revving.

Iv gone for the Aem for my setup( I still can't unlock the Flashpro from my car), what I might do is get a base map to start my car on the flashpro!then change to the Aem.Dixon tells me the Cel is on all the time with the Aem because there is no provision fot the wheel speed sensor..... I have to agree that the Cel on all the time will get on my nerves.

Although I haven't started putting the intake side back onto my car yet, I am going to be having the same issues as you regarding finding vacuum and water hoses, I think when I get to that stage I will have to give Pie n chips a knock and have a look over his engine bay.

Best of luck with it and I am sorry things didn't work out for you.

From pictures posted by dixon on page 2. this is yours before the plumbing was removed.



Do you have the metal hardlines assembly? A lot of NA intake upgrades get rid of these and just join up or replace the vac pipes etc. lots of pics on the site of various intakes but the one above shows all the connections to the hardlines that are usually covered up the airbox.

i ve looked at that one but the hardline connection that i had back off dixon isn t the one in that picture, also there are 3 pipe connections going into the large pipe (75 ish mm) off the airbox i know the right hand side is going down towards the rad , the top left i think goes to the rocker cover connection , but the bottom left i have no idiea ,also not sure if i have the right parts back off dixon .The hardpipe i have had back is a dirty black one and nothing like the one in that picture.But thanks ninebolts for the help

Mine's an 07 and had a black one with 4 lines.
largest is a connection between the intake hose and the rocker cover, next largest is a coolant connection between to the intake manifold. The two smaller connections are for the small bore vac hoses and connect the manifold to those little pipes that run down to solenoid on the airbox and the front crossmember. I can't recall where at the momemnt but sounds like you've sorted all the lines.

The 3rd whole you mention on the intake tube is specifc to 06 onward cars and is where the Air Intake Temperature sensor is located. It's just a push fit into the hole.

boost and vtec come in at the same time, your above 4500 when your driving hard there is no difference to stock apart from twice the power without vtec catching you out.All non belevers that have driving the car agree its how the car should have been ,as for the diff ,ive got friends in the states pushing 650whp with no problems.

Above was from an 06 car, no idea why some were black and other plain metal. but if you zoom in you can see all the pipes and gubbins. I'll have a rummage in the shed because this might still be in there and it's not from mine but would work for you. I may have included it with the airbox from a friends S2000 when I sold his old parts.

Below is mine when it still had the OEM rubber intake pipe. You can see the IAT sensor in the inside of the bend.

Thanks for that , but i m lost with the air intake temp sensor as there s just a hole in the pipe don t know where that sensor is ? I ve got so many bolts and bits missing that didn t come back pissing me off now i ve lost track of how many times i ve had to ask dixon to send bits , first it was the injector loom connectors than the standard map sensor , then i had to order 200 pounds worth of parts from honda that where missing standard woodruff keys , bolts , gasgets ,springs for the cat , and i m still missing parts its been in the garage for 2 weeks trying to get it back to standard, live looked at the manuals for diagrams pipe layouts etc but my head is finished over 1500 pages

plumbing shows how the vac lines are connected.



wiring for the IAT sensor, I think is all part of the same loom as the connector to the second air control solenoid, that the bit marked 2 on the diagram above. Check back along that cable and see what you have.

Again thanks ninebolts i have that up on the laptop next to the car but can t find the IAT Sensor , there s a tee piece where that should be as if they have bypassed that sensor, i m loosing it , between eveything else i m finding out now as we are putting back the car to standard , loose bolts on the intake , under my passenger side footwell matt the carpet is all burnt with soilder burns it look s like nicely covered over by my matts nice one what else can go wrong with this car !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
