do you guys know what is a cheapest way to do 00VI mod on 4th gen??

 

Don't charge yourself.

 

Buy the upper and drill the lower A32 IM..

You're still going to have to 1) get the adapter plate sets and use 4th gen TB, you'll still need a plate for the IACV, or 2) use 5th gen TB, remove EGR, and wire up the A33 IACV...

ORRRRRRRRRRRR

3) use the 5th gen TB, keep EGR, and use a plate for teh IACV..

Theres 91823912839123821 combinations, your choice.

 

I can't do option 2 :'( ... I would fail emissions without an EGR over NOx. Drilling the lower seems soooo scary. I wonder if it is cheaper to use 5th gen TB over buying an adaptor plate to keep your 4th gen TB. I know 5th gen TB is slightly larger in diameter.

 

its the same thing, im using a 5th gen TB w/out IACV...

 

sorry. i was thinking about easiest way to do 00VI

 

there is no easy way

the EASIEST its gonna get is.....

-A33 Lower/Upper
-A33 Valve Cover
-A33 Rear Coilpacks
-A33 EGR Guide Tube
-A33 Throttle Body
-A33 Fuel Rail/Injectors
-A32 Idle Air Control V
-Adapter Plate for IACV from someone here.

Using the whole shibang you wont have to grind down the coil towers, or worry about PCV placement.

 

Yes ... but everyone has to remember that when you do s0ber's "easy" way, you have to splice in the injectors into the A33 Lower.

 

Here's the easiest way that retains egr and pcv functionality, and allows you to keep your injectors and fuel rail:

1. 00vi
2. A33 rear valve cover and ignition coils
3. A33 egr guide tube
4. A32 IACV
5. A32 TB
6. TB adapter plate
7. predrilled A32 lower intake manifold (PM me!)
8. IACV remote mounting plate

 

It's either splicing a couple little wires, or drilling your lower A32 IM to suit your needs, or you could just get it pre-drilled, which stephen max is correct, would be the easiest setup.

 

Buy everything you need including the VI off of me for $80..

Wait... I already sold it to THT

 

It is just as easy to use A33 TB which bolts directly to A33 Upper.
How expensive is the rear valve cover and ignition coils?

 

you just sold off what you had already for that or can you hook it up?

 

He sold it to THT...like he said...

 

where's a good place to get 00 valve cover and coil packs?
i can't find a junk yard around here with any 00 and up maxes

 

My state only scans for codes for the emissions testing. Would removing the EGR valve with this swap throw a code? If you remove the EGR, doesn't that give a little more power and gas mileage?

 

Some have gotten codes, but I have not. And no removeing the EGR will not give you more power, or more gas mileage.

 

I didn't get any codes, but some other people I know have.

 

anyone know an answer to post #15?

 

car-part.com

I would prolly do a search on valve covers, if that doesn't bear fruit, do a search for an engine, scroll through the list and find some that are blown and call them.

For the coils, I would order 3 new ones.

 

You'd pay like $180 for coils you can get for like $30 car-part.com? Must be nice to be rich!

 

I have three rear 00 coil packs, they work...

 

If you think paying $30 for used and possibly defective coil is better than paying $50shipped for a brand new updated one, be my guest. Go look at the 5th gen forums, there's a ton of people that had to replace all 6 coils and theres TSB's about it.

Paying $60 more now for the new coils will be cheaper in the long run if you receive defective or dying coils from a junkyard.
