Ok so I removed the power rod on my dek and made a blockoff plate for a cleaner look. Figured I'd offer to make another if anybody else wanted one. It's made of out 1/4inch thick aluminum and will come with new bolts and washers to replace the oem screws. Also this will allow those using a pftb to retain cruise control.

Price would be 35shipped

 

wow, pretty nice and also good idea....

 

thanks, just figured I couldn't be the only person that wanted to do something like this

but from the looks of it maybe I was oh well atleast I offered

 

sold

 

So you would remove the swirl valves and put that plate on? Any better acceleration?

 

What are the benefits of this mod?

 

the swirl valves are located in the lim the powr rod is in the uim, the result of this mod is better topend

 

bump

All the blockoff plates are sold, encase anyone wants one I am about to place a order for more metal

I ordered enough metal to make 4 more but 2 are already pending. btw they will come with new bolts and washers to replace the oem screws, looks better

I am about to start on a turbo project so once the remaining three are gone that maybe it for awhile

 

Looks interesting... This might be off topic a bit, but how can I tell/test my VI to see if it's working or not? I'm thinking about buying a blockoff plate if it doesn't hurt my midrange too much. I do alot of stop and go commuting in heavy traffic. Do you have any before and after dyno results by any chance?

 

Somewhat interested...my power valve is deleted but the power rod is still in there. Would it make a difference removing the power rod completely?

 

^^ yes. Either use it or remove it.

 

BTW, I purchased one from him and the quality is excellent!

 

I was boosted and never used this n/a. I would suggest removing the power rod and driving the car to see how you like it.

 

yes, you'll have more topend with the rod gone almost like when 3.5 guys remove the vias

 

Pulled the power rod yesterday. Definitely felt more topend. Also acceleration is much smoother throughout.

About the plate, are there similar grooves like the vias box or is it a flat plate?

 

it's just a flat plate the groves needed since it's blocking everything off

 

I'll take one, do you have any left?

 

Would this benefit a 4th gen 00VI swap looks really interesting since im in the process of going F/I... any info would be great also, this will be a weekend driver thanks.

 

Interested in one but after my true cai/remote iacv. Is rtv good to pair with the plate?

 

yep, paypal is inzom@yahoo.com

 

I had this on my turbo, dek swapped 4gen. This works better with boost or an extended rev limiter than a bone stock car
