Pete is very particular about his men.

Re: Removing secondary throttle valves...Help please.
 

Thanks all for the replies. I have a Napa close by, I hope they carry these plugs.

I seem to be tackling more than just the injectors and secondary throttle bypass here even though those two things were my origninal intent...I am now considering the following....

1 replace coils, just because I didn't do any tests for them or the injectors...just assumed the injectors was the problem.

2 coolant bypass. to make future pull downs easier.

3 and possibly porting at least the IH so I don't have to pull them off again. The plenum is pretty easy to get off and will be even easier after the mods, so I'm thinking just the IH for now...if that.


I do have a small air compressor (nail gun type but no air tools) and dremel, and harbor freight is close by. I've ground out a throttle body before, but never something this big...am I thinking with too much ambition here? I wish there was a "kit" I could buy that would have all the necessary accoutrements, including foos ball :)....any ideas?


Thanks again!!

I just got shot down on the porting idea, at least farming it out. Christmas is around the corner and property taxes/insurance are pending...

:(

where's he stand on goats?

Re: Removing secondary throttle valves...Help please.
 

Yeah, I can fix ya up with the burrs, sanding drums and flap wheels enough for a DIY project. Cost is about $100, plus the cost of a die grinder.

I don't think your nail gun compressor is going to do the trick...or maybe it could, but it is going to be a bit tedious - waiting for the compressor to catch up. You might be better off with an electric die grinder and a speed control from Harbor Freight.

PM me for more info if you (or anyone else) is interested!

One more item... Porting is going to change the calibration you just bought from Marc, I expect. You might want to discuss it with him before you install the chip.

Just a thought.

Yeah Paul I did think of that and was going to send it off again.. But the more I think about it,I think I am just going to do the above mods and then at a later time do the porting.

I'll keep you in mind if I decide to do it myself at a later time and Pete sent me a PM also for a great price on the porting...I just can't/shouldn't swing it right now with all my pending obligations.

Thanks to all who have replied.

Re: Removing secondary throttle valves...Help please.
 

It took me about 4 days (2.5 of them full days) to port my IH and plenum runners + maybe 4-5 hours to port match 8 of the primary head ports. reassembling the stuff probably just took 6 hours including fitting all the injectors and small details.

my hands were quite sore from working the die grinder...I don't know why, but I have a death grip like when I drive at the track..you could relax, but I don't and it takes a little bit out of you. Like paul said, probably upwards of a $100 in supplies if you don't have a lot of grinding stuff (you need the longer bits).

I've heard the rumors (mmmbah-ah-ah-ah) regarding sheep and Pete, but never actually seen any at his place or inside his (mmmbah-ah-ah-ah) "skunkworks" (aka garage). However, I CAN attest to seeing some sheepish expressions on faces :o when they discover it was a stock bottom 350 with cams and headers that just waxed their big inch LS2,3, & 7s!! :jawdrop:(mmmbah-ah-ah-ah) Maybe the sheep are those that believe their pushrod throw-backs are "modern technology"...Sheeeiiiiitttt!!! :p
