If somebody else is doing this kind of swap and needs some ideas... well, here is how i did some things.

very nice. you got the car running?how does it feel? I might have to save some of those pictures.

 

I like the way you used the 00tb and stuff. I don't think your hose for the IACV will be big enough. I think you will need a 1in nipple to make it work propery.

 

wow thats some really nice work.

 

Congrats, let us know how it feels

 

very nice work man. you should sell some of there adapter plates and other hardware.

 

Here are his pics from above

 

 

 

Very clean adapter plates. Do you have an RPM switch wired up too?

~THT

 

i do not have the rpm switch/ vi thing itself wired yet... at this time i just need the thing run.

 

Whats this for, sorry to sound like a nooB

 

^^looks like the throttle postion sensor and idle air control valve assembly^^

 

Remote mounted IACV

 

So would you need that for a 00vi swap. Im getting my tax returns soon, I just want to by the upper and drill the lower 4thgen im so it will fit. I dont want to get the fuel rails and injectors. I would also need a rpm switch. and what else? the egr extender pipe?

Disable EGR altogether and leave the sensors so you don't get a CEL. That's how I (and Nismo3112) did it. Doing it this way, you will need adapters for TB and IACV.

 

Sorry for the nooB questions but How do you disable the EGR? and how would I make the adapters. Would I be using the 4th gen tb?

 

The egr is easily disabled by just pulling the vacuum hose off. You don't have to remove the pipe coming from the exhaust manifold.

To make the adapter plates:
1) buy some aluminum and start machining
or
2) buy an adapter plate from someone who makes them. There are a few people on the org who do that.

You could use the 4th gen TB or the Pathfinder TB, in which case you would have to make an adapter plate. You could use a 5th gen TB, which would bolt right up to the IM, but I believe you will have to remove the IACV from the bottom of the TB because of interference with the egr. I'm not exactly sure about that, though.

 

Ok, i get it now.
How bout I connect the EGR hose to the Intake, custom dremel a hole?!?
I need a Adpater plate for the 4th gen tb, if I do Ill just drill out the holes for it in the plastic IM and make it fit like that

thnx Stephen Max for the help

 

do you get the best performance by using the 5th gen lower im and fuel rail and injectors? or do you still get the same by just drilling the 4th gen lower im? I'm VERY interested in doing this. What all would i need to get? I found an upper IM at a junkyard, besides the adapter plate(s), what else is necessary?

 

Same performance either way, I would assume. DEK injectors are larger so if you need more fuel delivery due to other mods, this would be the way to go. Any way you go, you will need an RPM switch.

 

The egr tube that mates with the 4th gen IM is very rigid, which means you will have to make a pretty accurate modification to the 00vi because you can't easily bend the egr tube to adjust for loose position tolerances.

 

Well the 5th gen lower IM has some improvements over the 4th gen. I remember something being said about a smoother surface and larger inner diameter.

 

Sorry i should have explained a little better when I said Intake, I didnt mean drill it into the IM, just make a hole in the Intake midpipe and connect it with a rubber hose.

 

A rubber hose WILL NOT stand up to the heat from the EGR.

 

if you guys need adapter plates like the ones above, let me know and my bro could make you some and sell them.

 

Here some more...

This conn. was too close to the elbow. The elbow can be pushed in a bit.

Where are most people bringing in the EGR? Mine is a 99 and different, but curious where people who are not disabling EGR are putting it back in.

 

here is the brackets for the egr which are for sale


and this is where the egr was relocated to.

 

I see red X's

 

ok link dont work but the pics are i nteh first thread. the bracket pictures is the second one from the bottom up and the egr picture is the 4th one from the bottom up.

 

Links still don't work...

 

These are the ones you are talking about I take it. Where does it go back into the 00VI then, on the bottom?

 

ivac takes air from that black resonator box, then it goes in through this elbow on the top of manifold http://memimage.cardomain.net/member...777_7_full.jpg

 

here you can see the elbow i mentiond - it's on the bottom of res. box, that provides air for ivac 'in' - the big plastic one -http://memimage.cardomain.net/member_images/1/web/361000-361999/361777_4_full.jpg

 

Instead of putting the elbow on the intake manifold, why didn't you just put the elbow at the bottom of the throttle body where the IACV sat before?

 

so for the install of the VI, what else is needed? I found a VI for 125 at a junkyard, and want to know what else i'd need to take with me besides the VI. I know ill need an rpm switch, but where would these adapter plates come from? I would hate to not everything needed for when i go to pick up the VI

 

You make the plates or buy them from people can make them like Stephan Max or MaxS

How are you going to do the swap? Just the upper IM? If you plan to use the lower IM from the DEK, make sure you get the fuel rail and injectors as well.

 

Just the upper. Is that all i will need then is the manifold itself? And ill contact the names mentioned on the adapter plates. Did you make them yourself or did you get them from someone else.
