vsv. how to remove?

[lagged]

im used to building carb-based chevys. 500-600whp is diffrent there. turbos are new to me. is it a bad thing to ask for a lil help before i just start ripping things out? i like carbs vs. efi anyday.

asking for help is great, however just ripping things out isnt always the best approach.

for example, why do you want to get rid of the VSV for your FPR? it will never have an effect on power, and makes the engine run better in hot start conditions.

No you don't, :nono: you just think you do. Get to understand EFI and I promise you will come to see that there is no comparison between the two. Carburators are antique technology at best (even new designs don't vary much from the first one's ever built)

It would be like saying youd rather have an 8 track tape player then a D.A.T.

im for sure i like carbs better than efi. if the car breaks on the side of the roan, with a carb its either fuel, spark, sumthin stupid. with efi it could be any number of sensors.

Yes, but the sensors in question are easy to figure out. Fuel on a carb is so tough to diagnose - there are just too many little cams, springs, or valves that can break, work loose, or wear out on a carb.

with EFI its the same, an IC engine is still an IC engine.

if you arent getting spark, there is a reason for that. so you first check error codes, and BAM you know your problem. otherwise you work your way through the ignition components. are the coil packs good? is the igniter working? etc etc.
