Eh, I got that eg pipe off eventually, guess the wd had to soak in a bit. I got my old manifold off, and I'm now working on putting the new one on. I just took a break for dinner, and I'm about to go at it again. Sucks that I have no daylight now though. I'm putting on outlaw engineering phenolic spacers while I'm at it, and doing the coolant bypass mod. Wish me luck.
The vtcs valves are open when not in use, but they are still impeding airflow just by being there. The cross sectional area of an open valve in comparison to the entire hole there is significant. What is being done here is not just diabling VTCS, but removing the valves entirely. Some gains should be seen by only removing the valves, but of course porting will help even more.eting_pro5 said:Thanks flat_black, just one more question....
so basically disabling the VTCS isn't giving anyone any gains (except maybe before it's warmed up). People are getting their gains from porting, right???
