Eliminating the secondaries
I am going to remove the plenum on my 91 to replace the injectors. While it is off, I am going to install Jerry's new and improved fuel pressure regulator. I also want to remove all the secondary stuff to make the car simpler. I know Marc has a DVD which describes the removal process but I am wondering if there is a DVD that shows the secondary removal process. Dynomite describes the process with some pictures but I would really like some more detailed information. Perhaps once the plenum is off, his descriptions will make more sense to me. Thanks in advance, Perry

Re: Eliminating the secondaries
No videos that I am aware of. Too many old guys here (till now) that can?t handle a smart phone. The references you mention are very good though. Don?t forget you will need a Haibeck chip to handle the secondary delete in the ECM. Member Domenic Sorresso (Xfirez51) also does them. I have mine deleted, Dominic did the tune. Runs seamlessly! Nice not to have the secondary system issues worry.

Re: Eliminating the secondaries
Ditto.... Mine are working as theyre supposed to as well. Im not sure why so many guys dislike one of the features that makes the LT-5 special...

Re: Eliminating the secondaries
The simplest thing to do is just tie wrap them open and modify the calibration. That was my first step, then I removed throttle plates and kept throttle shafts in open position again w tie wrap. When I had heads ported. We took out everything.

Re: Eliminating the secondaries
Mine are still working, with the MS-Pro (Megasquirt) ECU.
I gave my car to them (DIYAutoTune) a few years ago when they were working on the LT-5 tune. Before I gave my car to them I had disabled my secondaries. They asked me to put it back together, which I did, because they wanted to control the secondaries. I realize this is apples to oranges, but my car made more horsepower when they were done.

Re: Eliminating the secondaries
If I could figure out a nice dash layout with aftermarket gauges I think it would work well with the DIY Autotune set up
