Using my 4th gen plenum, 4th gen stock fuel rail/injectors, 5th gen TB - what kinda of work will need to be done? The threads Ive seen (I may have overlooked a few) dont include this setup.

I know the plenum has to have 2 holes drilled...but there's one stud sticking up on 1 side of the plenum...do I need to knock it out?
If I wanted to run it with fully bypassed EGR, will the ecu throw codes or will it not recognize it at all?

Advice on how to mess with AICV and other necessary mods to get the VI on?

What RPM switch did you choose? Is there a writeup on the install of that?

bump squared, im goign to do this EXACT setup on mine

Bijan- THT and Nismo3112 have done it ive been asking THT about all the details, im waiting on adapters from vsamylov for the TB and IACV...

Ecu will throw codes, contact BSwith(spell?), I believe he has bypassed the EGR system w/ the use of resistors to eliminate ECU codes. Also he can help you wire up the 5th gen IACV, it is built into the 5th gen TB.

You can use the Summit RPM switch.

This one?

Is it this one or the harlan that alot of MEVI guys had problems with? Is the harlan even sold anymore?

Oh sorry. The one you linked was the one I meant to link to.

I have my EGR completely disabled but no codes. I've had a couple people tell me it's not possible but it is. I checked for codes today and no codes.

You prob left hte sensors hanging in the engine bay, huh?

THT

iTrader: (8)

Yeah. But a few people have said that doing so would trip the CEL.

I'll probably be bugging you experienced installers this weekend w/ all kinds of questions about this.
Finally got some down time for the install and plan to have mine up & runnning w/ VAFC this time next week... it's gonna have to be if I want to get back home.

Be sure to read the many threads in this forum on this topic first as it'll answer most of your questions. All Motor should almost be renamed to "4th gen 00 VI How-To"

i just bought my 00 upper IM yesterday. Im ordering the switch, and adapters this week. Me and another org member will be doing the install. What exactly needs to be drilled? Does anyone have any pics? I'll be using everything 4th gen, just 00VI.

jmeister

iTrader: (12)

There are all kinda pics & info in the all motor stickies about the 4th gen lower, etc. Stephen Max has some good stuff in there.

In order to use the 4th gen lower IM, you will have to install it flipped around 180 degrees in order to get the bolt holes at each end of the IM aligned close enough to be able to use them.

Then you have to drill out two existing holes and install 6mm Keenserts or Helicoils (I recommend Keenserts.), and you have to drill two new holes to provide all the necessary mounting bolt holes.



You will also have to drill two holes at either end of the 00VI near the existing bolt holes.

thanks for the info. i didnt even know there were how-tos/stickies on the VI. This looks like it oughta be fun

Do you think the same resistor fix could be used on a 3.5l swap running a 96 ecu? I know that my egr system will be non funtional because of the ecu controlled egr system in the 3.5l. I am just concerned with 1. getting inspected. I have a hook up for now, but I dont like to gamble. 2. the CEL light. Not a huge deal, but it would be nice not to have one.

I've got mine hanging, and I get a CEL and code 10-5 after about two-three weeks of driving. I don't know why it doesn't show up sooner. I'm going to try the resistor trick.

iTrader: (4)

hey stephen max, do you also sell the adapter plates? i coulda sworn you did as well, but i may be mistaken

THT

The only CEL code I pull is the one for the banks running lean. And that one comes on after I leave the car idling for 10+ min.

Stephen Max

iTrader: (59)

I do. PM me.

bump...trying to get the VI on this week

Good Luck

i will also be attempting the VI on saturday. We'll need all the luck we can get.

Nismo3112

iTrader: (12)

What I did was enlarge the 2 inner holes on the 00VI so I could use long bolts that would thread into the holes that are already there. But doing it my way required some minor port matching on the lower IM, maybe less than 1mm on each of the ports.

I also only used a total of 4 bolts, (just like the 4th gen IM) to hold the 00VI down, and that doesn't seem to cause any probs.

vsamoylov

hey i got some adapter plates in stock now. contact me if interested.

i have 2 iacv adapter plates
1 adapter plate if you are using the 5th gen tb
1 adapter plate if you are using the 4th gen tb

the iacv adapter plates are needed no matter what
but the other plates you need to decide which tb to use

Hey Bijan
If you need an RPM switch I have a spare Harlan you can use. Just let me know, I am interested in how this turns out!

Ninos_Maxima

iTrader: (5)

vs how much for the adapter plate for the 4th gen tb?

vsamoylov

adapters are $60 each.

eckohb

iTrader: (4)

damn, you raised the price quite a bit didnt you

|Bijan|

iTrader: (12)

Take that to PM


Does ANYONE have any other info. (please see my 1st post)

iTrader: (15)

^^ yeah, im going to try to tackle this soon..

how many and where exactly do the vacuum lines need to be run (from and to hwere)...

is it just ocmmon sense, and a repeat of what's already there under the hood?

jmeister

iTrader: (12)

Common sense doesn't work.
