Hello all..I just removed my Air pump on my 86 N/A ...I bought a 13bt ACV plate from K2RD...It doesn't look like it fits...What the Heck??Someone please help.....I have air pump off...I will try and post pics...Tell me if I am doing it right...The plate doesn't even look close...Someone please help...

 

Do you have a pic of the plate? Maybe they sent you the wrong part.

 

You have the right thing off. Yeah, shoot us a pic of the plate. I have one from RB that fit just fine....

 

Here is the plate pic...

 

That won't fit the NA engine. Compare it to your NA ACV...Totally different. You can trace the ACV onto some sheet metal and make your own plate.

 

Looks like I got the wrong plate...I bet this one is for the Turbo model of the S4 engine...DOO DOO>>>>Car is tore down right now...I hate it..Oh well Good thing I can't drive it...Damn DUI....Looks like I will get one from Racing beat..Should have got one from there to begin with...Oh well ...Also what else can I remove once I get this plate...Any solenoids or anything else..Remember 86 N/A engine..Man I just wasted $15.50 ...Oh well...One New 13bt ACV cover for sale...Send me 15.50 and its yours...

 

When you get the right plate, make sure you pop that little black circular thing out. The plate won't sit flush if it's left in there.

 

Yeah, the K2RD plate is a turbo only plate. Sucks man.

 

Well I have 2 choices...I can either order the right one from Racing Beat...Or buy a sheet of sheet metal and go ahead and make my custom door panels I have been wanting to make...And make the block off plate while I am at it? Will the sheet metal be thick enough>??? I could just use the screws provided with the K2rd plate,,,Which would you guys do...Also What else can I remove that is of no use??? What about the Egr??? I read a thread the other day about someone who removed there Air pump along with some Solenoids and sensors...Which sensors and Solenoids can I remove???Please if you have pics let me know...Thanks...

 

Part Number 192-1016 is the 13B plate
Part Number 192-101o is the 13BT plate

You should send it back and get the correct plate for your application.

No, the block-off plate should be 3-5mm thick.
Since you've already paid for it, just send it back and get the right one.

 

looks like your actuators are closed. The rod should be extended when the car is not running. Check them and try to free them up if they are stuck.

 

oh yea, dont use sheet metal, who ever suggested that probably uses duct tape to hold the wheels on. Anyway, use a thick plate. The temps are high and also you need a tight seal.

 

I think I will try and send it back and get the right part...Thanks Bonzai for the part numbers....I will email them and see what I have to do to send em back...And for Rxhevin...I have a Series 4 engine and I Thought that the actuator rods on series 4 engines push in to open...They are different than Series 5 where the rods pull out to open...I think that is how it goes...Correct me if I am wrong guys....

 

Well I talked to the guys at K2RD and they said that they would ship me an N/A Plate out tommorow...Man those guys have the shiz nit together...I know where I will buy my suspension from now...They have great prices on a full line of stuff...A+++ in my book...Well thanks for all you guys interaction...You guys are the greatest...
