I am removing my air pump this weekend, and I was wondering what size cork to use to block off the hose to the ACV. Any help?

 

do yourself a favor and remove the acv altogether. get some metal from lowes that is pretty sturdy (~the thickness of a road sign) drill holes in it where the bolts for the acv are and paint it so it wont rust or corrode. if the bolts for the acv are too long you can get a nut that will fit on it, thread it on at a lower point on the screw and tighten it down.

the bolt thing is what i did to switch my s4 fuel rail to an s5

oh yeah use some of that liquid gasket in there too

 

Well, I already bought the RB presilencer w/ the tube for the split air pipe, Soooo...If I remove the ACV, I will have a big stupid tube coming off my presilencer, as well as an exhaust leak!!!

 

put a dye to the pipe coming off and screw a cap onto it. or weld it shut

Justin

 

In need the car running so I can get it to a shop to weld it shut. Anyone know the diameter of the hose? I guess I will just buy a ****-load of corks, and try em all!

 

ok you dont have to cork it off, jsut get a piece of cloth and put it on the hose using the existing hose clamps

Justin

 

Any other ideas?!?

 

If you buy the metal to make the ACV plate, you can use a piece of it to block off the spilt air tube too.

 

true...

Justin

 

Cool. Anyone have the cork size?

 

look.... do not cork it. you are wasting your time........ just put a piece of cloth over it

Justin

 

Nobody has the cork size because NO ONE USES THE CORK!

 

exhaust wont come back through the acv, i promise

 

It will too, I used to stick a big bolt in the tube to hold me over till I made a block-off plate.

Do it right, just buy a sheet of aluminum from Lowe's and make a block off plate. If you have a jigsaw it takes like 30 minutes total, including pulling the ACV off. Buy a couple small nuts and bolts and make a plate for the split air pipe too. Its a lot easier than it sounds.

 

Peer pressure sucks. Oh, wait, I don't have a jigsaw. Hmmm. I will pick up a ACV plate from k2rd, and try to find some metal to work for the presilencer.

 

i removed my airpump and put cloth over it and i get 0 exhaust coming through, now if he removes the acv then he will get fumes through the pipe going to the cats, yes

Justin

 

Ok, I went to http://www.k2rd.com/Online_Catalog/FC3S/FC3S-index.htm , and looked at the ACV block of plate. $10. But is says it is for the 13BT ACV. Will it work on my car? 91 n/a.

 

Hey, don't listen to peer pressure, go get a cork! Hey, sounds good to me, what the hell.

Of course, I didn't use a cork either.

I was really talking about corking the tube from the air pump to the ACV. But hey, we shall see what I will do!

 

that is what i am talking about...... air wont flow out of that, only in, infact the exaust will probably suck air into the pipe rather than push it in

Justin

 

Oh...so I am a moron! Thanks RX-7Imprezza! I will get the blockoff plate in the next few days!

 

what are you talking about, i didnt really offend you did i???

Justin

 

Dude, of coruse not! We still be tight yo! I am just admitting I need to listen to you more/better! Thanks for the help, as always!

 

lol!!!

cool i thought i said something that i didnt know bout........

lol
