i think they were just a safe measure so you dont boot ur car whilst the engine is cold,
another........
Nice :)
i have been meaning to do this for ages, was it difficult?
Cheers

Found that the vac pipe from the manifold to the solenoid valve that controls these has bloody broke off so looks like ill be doing the same soon... :wave
ASP!
What\'s the plan then?
no plan,
took out the water feed to the tb,
also matchd the lower manifold ports to the top manifold,
Has removing the secondry butterflys had a worth while effect , just been looking into it myself , not sure if I\'d do the porting as I\'ve never tryed anything like that before
i did it while the car was off the road,also did a lot of mods,
i dout on its own ud notice it done,
i did it so its less to do wen i get it rebuilt n ported,
still thinkin bout gettin an equal lengh lim
Cheers bud , I\'ve read a few other people have done it with no ill side affects so I might get rid of it , think I\'ll just clamp the vac pipe first to see if it feels any different first
if u clamp or remove the v pipe i think the butterflys will stay closed,
i think i think,check with some 1 else as i only looked at it wen i was removein them,
No I think it stays open , according to Rob Robinettes site this is what he did before he removed the butterflies , I\'ll check though
By the way when you removed everything I assume you get rid of the actuator as well ? what did you do with the vac hose ? did you just leave it , remove it and blank it off or leave it on and plug it ???
mad rush back 2 pc,sorry u r right it will stay open,
but wen its open with out the vac pipe it should b the same wen theres no vac in the manifold,asin both with vac pipe or with out,the butterflys r still in the same positiondo u c what i mean,

removed every thing,
iv gone single turbo so under the upper manifold i had a few nipples for vac pipes left doin nothing,i used a short bit of pipe to blank of 2 nipples,
u can get little caps that go over them or jus bung some thing down the vac pipe,
Yeah I think I\'m with ya
Cheers buddy , I\'ll let you know how I get on
Did you find it doesn\'t like idleing on Cold start?
I did this to a Tuned T2 and i had to kep the revs up over 1k for a few seconds then it would idle about 900-1k for 1-2 miles then warm up properly and it would go to the 1300rpm where its suposed to be.
I do also have a Knightsports big throttle body which i don\'t think would help matters.

yep same here,price u pay for modin i guess,good job thay warm up quick,
