Will this work with my car?

 

 

How much is the plate? And where do I get it from?

 

Uhm from the OP of this thread. This is his FS thread for it...

 

OOHHH! Right! Sorry, I just PM'd him. Sorry, I was jumping around from a couple diffrent screens.

So, tell me your thoughts? Is it only noticable at high rpm's?

 

Its all good. Theres a how to on removing VIAS and the power rod in this thread. Put up pics too. If you need help dont hesitate to hit me up.

 

Yeah I heard about this happening... Well my car has 154,000 miles on it so i'm sure that's the problem then.

 

all plates are sold

 

i thought i did PM my number too you...oh well. thanks for the pics

 

^ NP bruh. Hit me up if you have any questions.

 

hey guys i just wanted to put my input on Tommy's block-off plate, all I have to say is THIS ***** AWESOME!!!! if anyone ever had an idle problem on the 00VI swap into a 4th gen using the 5th gen throttle body and IACV this may really solve your problem, believe me it has made wonders for my cold starting problem and top end is hella nice too. I give a major 2 thumbs up to this part and dealing with Tommy has been really smooth. I'll post up some pics in a bit thanks again man

 

^ Did you pull the power rod or leave it in the "OPEN" position?

 

^^^^ pulled it out fully no rod in my intake

 

Notice the low end dip? Trade off worth it huh?

 

^^^ well i have a supercharger installed on it so the dips not really felt, but ish pulls harder then before. And by the way the max starts now in the cold, if i felt the dip, i'd say its hella worth it

 

Oh youre SC'd?!? Then its a wrap!! You got the game on lock! SC makes up for that dip down low! One of the key factors in me deleting VIAS and the power rod was that Im going SC in the future so Im building my motor up for it.

 

^^^ hey man good luck, it takes patience if you build your S/C (like me), instead of going generic. If you need any help let me know im willing to lend a hand even though im in the south and your in Cali. Also I saw your looking for an emanage blue, i have one if interested let me know.

 

Appreciate it. Ill PM you after I smoke a square outside really fast

 

Thanks

 

^^^^ No problem man giving props when definitely earned

 

Cosigned.

 

ok so I have to order some metal to make some throttle and feedpipe brackets. If anyone wants a block off plate let me know. If I do not hear anything I'll just order enough to make 1 or 2

 

will place a order this week

 

I'm going to be replacing the intake manifold gaskets soon I might as well do this so I'm very interested, but since I'm an auto I'm worried about losing low end. If I don't lose low end consider it sold to me, pm me your paypal and I'm ready when you are.

 

Wait I just noticed there are 3 pages to this thread (duh I replied after reading the first 2) so basically I will lose low end power with this

 

I would have to say yes you will but how much I can not say as I has a boost 5spd and everyone that purchased one was also 5spd.

I would suggest removing the power rod drive the car see if you like it and go from there

 

ill take one of these

 

Without the power rod isn't the car getting more air? I don't see why I would lose low end

Another thing, wouldn't acceleration be smoother with the power rod gone even at low end? I would give up a couple hp low end if acceleration throughout becomes much smoother.

 

the best example I have is when I dyno'd with a mevi. I dyno'd with the mevi working then again with it tied open and loss about 7hp/8tq at around 3600 rpms. This is about the same as removing the power rod or like removing the vias on a 3.5 intake.

imho, I would not remove the power rod if the car is stock unless the vias is broken. Now if you have or planning to extend the rev limiter, add cams, IHE, boost or tune the car via a safc2/vafc2/eu/jwt ecu which will allow you to gain back what was loss in the mid range

 

ok I'll update the thread when the shipment comes in

 

Ok thanks after further searching I'm not willing to risk the low/mid range power especially since I'm auto.

 

got 3 plates, 1 is sold already and will be shipped no later than Thursday let me know if you still want one

 

Aite send me your paypal in a pm and I will send the money

 

All plates are sold

If anyone else wants one post it here and I'll add it to my next order of supplies

 

 

well I am going to place a order so I can make a pftb and q45 throttle bracket and a block of plate cause I sold my personal one. I am going to place the order this weekend if anybody wants one let me know if not I am only going to make 1 more

 

fyi, the new bop is sold

 

I am pretty sure my VIAS isn't working as it feels like I hit a brick wall when rpm's 5k. Going to remove power rod instead of doing to JB weld fix on VIAS cup. When trying to remove power rod which side does it slide out of? If I am happy with the way it feels with power rod removed I would like to purchase one of your bop's. It will work on my 01 SE 20th correct?

 

yes it will, as long as you have the dek motor which i assume you do than it will work

 

VIAS cups are know to go bad on the DE-k thus leaving the power rod stuck in whatever position it was in last.
