So I decided to block off my OMP, and I realize I have to plug the holes where they used to go... but I had an idea.

What if I were to use the stock nozzles, in all their stock places (4 nozzles on an 2nd gen motor) and just run vac lines from one to the other? For example, the two on the housings, run a vac line from the one on rotor 1 to rotor 2. Same goes for the two on the LIM.

Would there be any problems doing so? All I could think of is that there may be a possibility of the two exchanging air at points, and possibly causing a lean condition?? But I don't know a whole lot about the system, to be completely honest, but I do know if it were to fail, the engine would be toast, which is why I'm not using it. I know I could just go out and get some bolts and thread sealer and plug the holes, but I wanted to hear some opinions on this idea, and whether or not it would work, or if it was just plain dumb.

Included a pic, although crude, that should get the point across.

Thanks,
James

 

just get bolts for them, better safe then sorry or you can just disconnect the rod connecting the omp to the tb leave all the lines on it will still instert a little bit of oil for lubrication then u just premix like it wasnt there that way even if it fail it wont **** up the engine

yes, just use bolts to block them off

 

Ok, I was probably going to use the bolts anyway, but it was just an idea. I'd still like for someone to give some more input, rather than saying to just use bolts.

And the engine is an S5, electronic OMP, so there is no cable/rod.

Thanks for the replies, guys.

No, it won't work. The oil injectors are a bit like banjo bolts. If you disconnect the lines at the metering oil pump, the engine will continue to suck air through the injectors.

 

Thank you.

It is possiblle to run a S4 front cover, with the mechanical OMP, and a S5 water pump housing. In case you wanted to retain the metering system.

 

Do you have a standalone? You have to leave the pump plugged in on an S5.

 

Not interested in running the OMP system.

And yes, I have a standalone.

 

Why not just remove the air/oil hose off the top of each injecdtor. The install a vacuum cap in its place. Then cut the plastic hose off the banjo fitting on the side of the injector and cap that nipple off in the same fashion.

Your idea isn't that good because the nipple on top of each injector is pulling vacuum from THE ROTOR side of the injector. So if you jumpered the front and rear oil injectors like that with a piece of vacuum hose you'd be really *disturbing* your idle if nothing else. You'd have the vacuum in the front rotor sucking on the top of the oil injector in the rear housing and vice versa, all at the wrong time.

Your idea won't work right but it's in the right direction. Just plug/cap the two pipes on each injector and your done.

Can't find a small enough cap to put on the injectors? Cut a small piece of vacuum hose and put RTV in one end to plug that end and then install the other end of that hose to the injector. We're talking about a piece of hose a half inch long, not some long piece of hose. Almost cost free.
