I recently purchased the fd manifold with adapter, sorted out the emissions nonsense, throttle cable and tps rewire. I just jave a question about the omp, are there any suggestions with pictures for reference on how the omp is linked up, could i run the omp wide open at all times?, reason to not block off omp is it works( tested as per fsm) also just intstalled fresh teflon lines. Please assist, thank you

 

Very few people would keep the OMP in this situation (I didn't), so you're not going to get much advice.

I vaguely remember Clokker suggesting or having used a bicycle brake cable to perform this function. That may be your best solution instead of trying to rig up the rigid rod.

 

i have no idea why anyone would go to such lengths to keep the rather janky OMP still functional.

 

There is no way to keep or modify the rod, it is too short. I have thought of a cable driven omp but just fabricating.... I dont want to fabricate much. Any thoughts on a 100% fully open opm rod? P

 

That was a throttle cable to open the aux ports and it never made it beyond the virtual drawing board.
Opening the OMP would be cake with a cable.

 

fully open = a LOT of oil.

i would use the cruise control cable spot. measure it up, and go have a cable made at a bike shop

 

I found it was really easy to use a Lokar universal cable to tie my S4 mechanical OMP to the FD throttle body.

 

Thank blue, that is what i was looking for, any specifics on your cable( it looks to be 3 to 4 footer) thanks again

 

Sorry, I don't remember the exact length.

You can see it could be a bit shorter or longer and work well still.

Did that back in 2001 and just sold the car- so no problems since then. I lubricated the cables with anti-seize.
