Random New 00VI Information
This is just a mishmosh of stuff I'm learning during my swap and testing out. For example, using the 4th gen rear coils on the 5th gen rear valve cover:
Assuming it clears ok, I'll just be making the bolt hole a little bigger on the coil pack itself then using a longer bolt. I may need to cut the rear of the coil pack off where the other bolt hole is though, we'll see.
Tommorrow morning I hope to have done some weighing because I'd like to also post weight differences between the 00VI and 4th gen manifolds.

Finally weighed both manifolds. Here's the result:
-Bare USDM manifold: ~11 lbs.
-Bare 00VI (w/ VIAS): ~12 lbs.
So the all-mighty plastic manifold actually weighs more! It's bigger and has the VIAS on it, though, so I'm sure that more than accounts for why it's heavier.
-Bare USDM manifold: ~11 lbs.
-Bare 00VI (w/ VIAS): ~12 lbs.

weight is irrelevant imo.. its the fact that it flows better with the dual runners.. and the composite material doesnt get as hot as the aluminum one.. having the VIAS on it probably makes up for the weight..

and dont use that big gasket that was between the USIM and the LIM like i did...cause apparently your not supposed to and maybe thats causing my leak.

nice work tatanko ! shame about that one pound, aye ? lol ! how are you finding the swap, and which setup are you using that you discuss on your site? It appears I will be doing 00VI setup #2, but wondering what is the TB blockoff plate ?

The throttlebody blockoff plate I'm referring to in #2 can be found on the picture of the '00 throttlebody on the universal parts list page. It simply blocks off the port on the TB that would normally be used by the '00 IACV.

I ported/polished my manifold very amateurly (is that word?) in my own bedroom with a dremel and many different grits of sandpaper.

Fpr

The ECU is programmed to expect that kind of increase in the FP so as to be able to supply the correct amount of fuel relative to the air and the ignition timing.
