why do acura cl type-s come with two throttle bodies?
just asking because i want to install a intake so what should i do?

 

 

my intake looks different from all the intakes
i saw on the internet

 

Think you're confusing the VSA (Vehicle Stability Assist) as a 2nd throttlebody. It's found on automatic CL-S', but not manual transmission vehicles.

 

The throttle body on the passenger side of the engine bay is for VSA. The one on the driver side is the regular throttle body.

 

I believe you've got that backwards

 

Maybe his engine is installed backwards

 

does anyone know what would happen if you took out the throttle body plate out of the vsa unit ? or what would happen if you completely took it out the unit?? i know theres a few threads on this but i could not find any explanations on how to bypass the vsa successfully. thanks

 

are you asking because the intake you bought is longer or something?

 

no, not because of a wrong sized intake but because of a restriction of airflow. I plan on porting my throttle body, intake manifold etc down the road and don't see a point in porting the vsa unit if i can just get rid of it all together. any advice would be greatly appreciated.

 

I'm kinda in the same boat.
I want to know when my type s motor is installed in my base cl (clp) if I will get a cel not using the vsa with a type s ecu.
And if I will get a light how to go around it.

 

Maybe this will help...https://acurazine.com/forums/showthr...ght=vsa+delete

You have to trick the ecu like it's still there. You do not wrong and of course you end up with a CEL and major loss of power due to the ecu freaking out.

 

There was a thread about this a while back and I think it involved using a resister or whatever from Radio Shack. Can anyone chime in here?

 

so then if you delete the vsa you're in the same boat as the 6 speeds.

the 6 speed intake will go right to the throttle body at the manifold.

or you'll need to mod a lil something up
