I am about to clean up my Aux ports, is there anything else I should do while i have my IM off

 

Anything you want Bro...lol

 

Want to go all out? Replace the rubber fuel line segments on top of the block, replace the injector grommets & o-rings (send out the injectors for cleaning if due), clean up the ground(s), replace the PD, replace all vac hoses, inspect and rewrap the harnesses if needed, install new gaskets upon reinstallation of intake parts...

 

TB mod, get rid of the PD, ACV, and split air removal, get rid of the OMP if you wish to, buy new gaskets like previously stated, get rid of the rats nest, etc..

 

Change your s5 lights back to normal first.

Then TB mod, ported TB, ported intake manifolds, replace fuel lines, emission removal, vac rack removal, replace PD, replace coolant hose on top of block (mine popped ), uh guess that's it.

 

What do you mean replace the coolant line? The one that you cap off after doing the TB mod?

 

No.. the one that remains after the TB mod that goes from the block to the water pump.

 

Ahh, I see. That's an optional one.. Most people cap that off..

 

??? How can you cap it off? You still need the coolant flow to go from the block and return it to the water pump, wont capping it off cause problems? I'm not talking about the original line with the TB mod. Originally it goes from block to TB to water pump housing, now it goes block to water pump housing.

I'd really think you need it still for proper flow/return.

 

before you get the idea to do the tb mod, don't. And don't bother removing the BAC either.

 

How come? Makes it real easy to port the TB with those extra plates gone.


Oh yah and my BAC is gone too, no idle problems, idle drop, cold start issues, etc. Everything is a.o.k.

 

Well, removing those plates isn't so bad... Removing the thermalwax and diaphram/throttle buffer thingie kills driveability.

 

Meh, I removed them and the dashpot, basically everything on it cept what opened the primary plates, driveability is fine (for me) but then again most consider my car unstreetable as a daily driver with some of the things I've done and am in the process of doing. Hence my custom title

 

I dunno, i removed all of that junk, and i'm not having any problems.. I do need to re-adjust my timing now, as I can FINALLY get my idle to 750, instead of the 1100 it was at before
