unit/part next to battery?

[BIGRICH]

i know, i know....i have searched, just cant find a damn thing about it, lol

what is the unit/part that is located between the battery and the fender on my 91 accord. sorry i have no pic yet but you guys will probably know without seeing it.

[Amiss]

ummm, air intake? like a black box?

[BIGRICH]

no, its a fairly small unit with vacuum line attached to it. it fits snugly between the battery and the inner fender right behind the corner lense.

i thought it has something to do with the w/s washer system but want to double check.

after closer examination it does appear to be connected somewhat to the air intake pipe that comes into the engine bay from in front of the passenger wheel.

It controls a butterfly inside the stock intake box, if you don't have the stock intake, you can remove it.

You wouldn't happen to be planning on drawing in the bay would you?!?!??!

not exactly....doing a dull grey on the bay itself....thinking of going copper on the short ram, heat shield, and strut bar. definitely gonna high heat white the valve cover and sharpie it.

So would it effect fuel efficiency? How could you test to see if it's working right?
Thanks.

Also curious about this ^^

So these two are connected by air hoses and theres also a wire harness that clips to the first one. im assuming for power to the unit only.

Delete all this?

If you're running an aftermarket intake, yes.
