i recently found this from a chinese car forum ....
it's sthing abt making a second pass for the air intaking ...
they metion abt remove the PCV tubes and replace it with 2 or 3 tubes
totally donno how this work .. but they used a Element and a Accord 2.0 (K20A 160ph) for exsample so .. i think it will work on our cars ..... someone just have to figure out wut this is all abt
also they said it's great ... car goes faster and mailage improve ... ...etc
and here is some pics ... btw .... it shuold work on all NA car and espcially us .. high rpm

cut out the PCV tube and replace it with a 3 way tube

hook up the extra tube with a L shape tube

.... mmm donno how to translate .. srry

addition intake ??????????

 

rofl......i can read all those chinese

 

I have no idea what's going on. What is the second intake for???

 

i dont kno how this work ... but i think the magic is the PCV vavle ....
and also like the cost for this is like .... 15 USD .... and there is a noticible improvement

 

what the heck is going on, doesn't help the photos are extreme closeups. Where's jtso?

 

I don't think those are intake tubes. Even if they are, they are too tiny to make any difference. Cosmetic?

 

It's difficult to tell exactly what's being accomplished without the view of the entire setup and engine. However, I can take a guess base on setup in the pics. It looks like an attempt to use the in-line fuel filter as an oil catch can in a open-loop mode by routing fresh air from the large air tube. If that's the case, I see a serious flaw in the setup as the PCV valve simply will not operate in this open-loop mode due to the vacuum leak in the other hose that goes to the intake tube. However, this will prevent oil in the intake manifold simply because the PCV system no longer works. If the fuel filter is used in a closed-loop PCV setup, the filter would have collapsed in a few minutes of driving. If this engine has a FPR (fuel pressure regulator) that uses vacuum to modulate fuel pressure (like most earlier Hondas) and a fuel return line to bypass excessive fuel, then the vacuum leak by this design will cause the fuel pressure to go up and might give the illusion of increase HP.

 

mmm .. now here is the diagram

srry for the bad diagram .. to lazy to find a place to update the a real diagram ...
hope this will help

 

here a diagram that i translate from thatchinese forum ... donno if this will help ..
i tried my best ....


donno y it cannot be enlarge .. but the from top is
intake tube
PCV valve




from top

3way tube
some kind of intake mainifold like the one in Pic4 beside the battery

looks like a mickey mouse job to me homie...i wouldnt do it.

 

Aside from the fact that I missed half of what you said, I agree. There's no air coming in. It's doing something to trick a sensor going to the ECU. This is the same crap as adding a "performance resistor" to certain ECU pins. It MAY make marginally more horsepower, but something if going to get screwed up. Essentially you are removing an input and feeding garbage into the ECU. It's worse than just not having one.

 

what's the URL? look like source at Taiwan.. hehe

 

I dont think mickey mouse works on imports...he seems like a domestic mouse to me.
