You need a PT6, the black box and a few other components. Do you want to hook up the entire system correctly? I can take photos of the differences from a PT3 car to a PT6 car just in physical components.
There are actually two vacuum controlled valves to hook up to do it correctly, one in the runners and one on the air intake plumbing.
I also recommend getting a vacuum control box from a PT6 vehicle.1993 SE Coupe MRT - 1992 LX Sedan MRT

Yes, I want to hook it up correctly. What I know so far is I have to get the black box, the spacer with the butterflies still on it and also the actuator, the solenoid on the black box with its plug, an ECU pin so I can wire in one wire to the P17 pin, then I have to wire in the other wire from the IAB solenoid to a "hot" source. Vacuum lines are not hard its the wiring, and I just thought that there was a guide on how to do this already, guess not. Pics would help if you got em.“Speed has never killed anyone.

Bench test IAB's
^^Maybe this thread will help.
The IABs hook up to pin a17 if I remember correctly, and the ecu grounds it when it wants it open. Where you tap power is to your preference. If you goto the technical section there is a sticky with electrical diagrams that should show where it gets power when installed from the factory.Last edited by cloudasc; 08-25-2013, 04:18 PM.

Another thing, can I use this diagram even if its from a civic, I found it on this site (sorry for the big pic). Is the A17 pin in the same exact place on the A6 ecu as this ecu? So there's not supposed to be a wire or a pin in my harness I just have to add it?

My only concern is at the harness side, will I have to de-pin the harness where the a17 pin is or will the pin already be removed since my harness and ECU doesn't have IAB's? Which would mean all I would have to do is add a pin from another harness then wire her up.

I prefer this schematic as it is more detailed/complete:

Could it be possible I am reading it upside down?
This is how I am reading it:
A, on the top, 5 over to the left. That is the A17 pin correct? But there's a pink wire already there!
EDit:
I even double checked in the manual and the A17 pin is right where I think it is... With a pink and blue wire! My car is an LX 91' wagon automatic (5 speed swapped). What is the pink wire for does it have something to do with the automatic transmission?Last edited by Mishakol129; 08-28-2013, 11:27 PM.“Speed has never killed anyone.

Okay, just so you guys don't think i'm a troll or mechanically challenged, here is the diagram straight from the horses mouth.
Honda manual plug diagram for 91' Accord:
It says A17 has a Pink/Blue wire ???:thud:
I thought it was supposed to be empty?
And it says A10 is Empty... This is where I put my pin thinking it was A17... I was wrong.
Would there be any danger in cutting the pink/blue wire and splicing in the IAB's wire? I feel like the only one who has had to deal with this, everyone says there's no wire there but I have a wire.Last edited by Mishakol129; 08-29-2013, 03:32 AM.“Speed has never killed anyone.

Bringing this thread up again because I still can't get them to work right.
I did manage to get the solenoid and vac box to close the iabs on their own, I did this by grounding them manually instead of having the ecu ground them. They worked that way but they weren't grounding right. So I found out it was the pin I had connected to the ecu that was at fault and I replaced that. Now when I try to ground the iabs with power nothing happens and the iabs dont close at all because its already grounded to the ecu (I suppose), and I know it had power... I'm confused by this. I think what is wrong now is that I have the wrong pin changed out as A17. That slot is supposed to be empty but there was a pink/blue wire there which I removed and actually cut out. I ended up reading in my 91 Honda manual that the pink/blue wire is actually for the intake solenoid. This makes no sense. Can someone show me where the empty spot is on the wiring harness because I can't find pin A17 - which is supposed to be empty but its not. Is it possible my harness is different than most others?
What makes no sense is that there's a pink/blue wire in the place of A17 when its supposed to be empty. At least I think its A17. Is it because I have a wagon is the wiring not the same? Its a 91' LX wagon. If someone could help me that'd be great, Thanks.Last edited by Mishakol129; 02-05-2014, 11:57 PM.“Speed has never killed anyone.
