That would be awesome, what would you want for it? I would do it, but have no extra metal or anything laying around

Paint it black and use honda-bond. You will never need to touch it again. Why spend money on something that insanely simple? It's your money, we are just trying to help you save it for more important things

So he is going to cut one out using a slightly thicker aluminum, or fold the can over it self a few times, then cut to make it appear thicker. **** I cut a piece of aluminum out and made MAP sensor delete on the TB when I had my JRSC set-up. Boost wasn;t being see at the TB, but rather in the manifold.

Let us know what you/he comes up with. I would like to see a pic of it

You can do what you please to your car. I don't want a use an aluminum can because to me it seems half assed. I'll use quality stuff not trash. Thanks for your input. Sorry that some of us want things to be done right and not all jacked up. If an admin sees this thread please lock. Thanks.

LOL, you asked for a solution, we gave it.

Sure, my previous set-up was garbage and half assed:


Oh..and everything currentrly in the car is garbage too.

Especially the Hasports, Rywire harness, S300 ecu, etc etc etc. Oh I have a bolt blocking my vtec pressure switch, but since it was bought for $5 at rywire I am legit? Or is that trashed up too?

Like I said, post up what you end up buying. I would like to see this. Sorry for trying to help. Maybe you can try to help me by showing me what you receive once it arrives. Good luck with everything.

Regardless. A pop can to me is a half *** way to do it. I asked for a solution. Someone said pop can I said no. Someone said they'd make me one out of regular metal. Then 2-3 more people said pop can to which I already said no. People must not read comments.

Just trying to save you a buck man. I paid for these block offs before and got mad at myself when I started to figure out that anyone can do it and the parts are sitting at home depot. Function over form is how I roll now.

As I said before, good luck with everything.
