VI swap misc question
What did you folks do about the PCV valve? Remove along w/ the EGR? 90 degree elbow & where did you find one? Is there a shorter non-vehicle specific one that will fit?
Thanks
Thanks

Yeah man, I need to head over your way and check that thing out. I keep putting off the install... I'm looking at the Memorial weekend now. Finally got everything I need (I think). Hopefully my brother has the EGR plate fabbed up so I can do away with it & the PCV.
I'll bring my camera when I come down. Think I still have your #
Thanks guys

What was up with your recent start-up troubles?

That fitting came off the fuel rail I just modified it (cut it and bent into place), but my fuel rail came from a 2001 QX4. I got kinda lucky there. And I will find out about the start up prob here in a couple of days since it will finally be hot again. I fixed all the problems, map sensor/valve amd knock senor.

Well, even if both part of vi (lim and upper) are used, and you have 4th gen rear valve cover, this should be done:http://memimage.cardomain.net/member...77_23_full.jpg

Given the title of the thread I hope nobody will mind if I ask a few misc. questions of my own.
1) Adjustable FPR to account for larger injectors--I've seen some suggest that this will be necessary, but also that it may not be if using a 4th gen IACV. What does everyone think?
2) In krismax's original thread he speculated that if the swap was done on a car with stock motor mounts there could be clearance problems with the hood because of the increased movement. Has anybody with stock motormounts done the swap?
That's it for now...I'm sure I'll think of a few more later
.
Thanks for indulging my newbness.

1. You do not need an adjustable FPR, for me the stock ECU combined with the 5th gen fuel rail/injectors/fpr is running fine. Also I don;t know how the FPR and the IACV go together? 
2. I have the stock mounts and no clearence issues what so ever.

On 1, I got that from a discussion between Icey2k1 (I think...the mod with the walking penney) and BSwithTF...BS was having problems with startup and Icey suggested that it might be because the car dumps alot of fuel at startup (and even more with the larger injectors). I think the thing with the IACV was that it would normally compensate by allowing more air as well, but BS is using a 5th gen IACV.

Interesting, that might be true. I cannot say because I am using the 4th gen IACV. You can always tighten the throttle cable to it opens the TB slightly. That should raise the idle some and might fix the hard start.

I want to use the 4th gen IACV anyway, just wasn't sure if something still had to be done about the larger injectors.
I know when krismax first did this he had problems with overheating which he fixed with a lower temp thermostat. Was that just something with his car (I think it had a busted head gasket and some other problems) or have the other people had to do it to? What thermostat are people using?

Nope mine stays below half, and I am goign to run 25% Toyota Red Coolant and 75% water, with one bottle of water wetter 
After that the car should stay rather cool. Even on the drive to Maxus and I am sure that will be the real test

Oh ok. So you've made one and have it sitting in your room, but still haven't had an overheating problem. Cool.
Time for more questions now
Has anybody done the swap and kept the stock/hacked intake? I don't really want to get a CAI and I believe the other options have actually shown a power LOSS.
With the Vsamylov/maxS adapter plates I would have a couple of options. You get the 4th IACV plate and either a plate to block off the 5th gen IACV and use the 5th gen TB or an adapter for the 4th gen TB. Has anybody put on a swap using their plates yet?
Who has kept the 5th gen TB? What diameter is it? Any problems with it and the throttle cables? Any advantages over using a 4th gen TB and adapter?
Kevlo, Could you go into more detail about how you rigged up the EGR system? I think I'm going to have to use it for emissions reasons.

All you have to do to keep the EGR working is buy the 00 EGR guide tube that goes from the EGR valve to the 00VI. It replaces the 4th gen guide tube and bolts right up no problems.
