ok so i have a accordd type R with 173k miles
it was running a little lumpy and returning poor mpg
after looking around the manifold and EGR i thought i would remove this funky looking plate on top of the intake manifold
tools:
10mm socket with extension + 1/4" ratchet
step one is to remove the 2 bolts on top of the fuel rail in the middle that holds a bracket with 2 vacuum pipes attach to it
then move the bracket and pipes to the Left out of the way
undo the 7 bolts that hold the EGR plate down onto manifold
remove and clean BOTH gasket and plate (ideally should refit new gasket) with brake and carb cleaner + brush
my egr plate was VERY bad ,caked up badly
also clean the breathing holes on the manifold, they will look very black and blocked-
i got a hoover, taped a silicone sealant tube to it to suck the crap out of it
refit and enjoy!
Results- VTEC much better-kicks in more aggressively and revs better =) great results from 10mins of work
will try and upload images -links to dropbox should work below
