I'll stick to my peice of sheet metal inbetween it.

And thats not your idle air control valve, its your Fast Idle Thermo Valve.

 

Thanks mines is bad so im jus putting this on.

 

i m interest...where did u get that from?

 

i just bought it last nite on EBAY i was surprised too with it lol but i will post up when i install it and tell you guys if its good or not. it was inexpensive. paid 26 for it brand new..

 

will be posting up soon if this **** is good or not

 

if its good ill just fab one up

 

Tin soda can does the same exact thing. Screw paying actual money for sheet metal when it does the same thing.

Well its actually a thick plate pretty thick not sheet metal.

 

i buy blocks of alum. just for **** like this.

 

i dont got materials for it so i just bought it w/e

 

Ok b4 you install the block-off you have the the FITV (Fast Idle Thermo Valve) under the throttle body. This is only connected to one hose which goes to the motor. Then right on top of the FITV is another hose not connected to the FITV but to the TB and it goes to the IACV((Idle Air Control Valve) in back on the intake manifold. Well with the block off plate all you do is remove the hose going from the top of the FITV to the IACV. Then the other hose which goes from the FITV to the motor needs to also be removed because you'll need a longer one to run it straight to the IACV. You'll have the hose going from the engine to the IACV instead of going to the FITV then to the IACV. Since there is no FITV anymore you will have the little tube or w/e on top of the FITV open. You can close it or leave it open. I left mines open. And of course install the block-off. End result was fine it worked fine.


This is for whoever is interested. isnt hard to do jus posted in case anyone was curious.

 

thanks for the info dude

 

no prob !! oh also the thread title says b16 b18 i dont got a dohc so you ppl know, it worked on the sohc (i would assume any sohc) since the throttle body is the same( mounts the same way)

 

So what's the benefits/consequences of this piece?

That i didnt have to buy another FITV and more space in dat section i guess. Also an FITV is expensive.
