Almost finished replacing starter, fuel injector O-rings, coolant pipe etc.. Deleted the throttle body heater plate too. The rubber block off caps did not look very inspiring & a sleeve inside the hose didn't to fit the 7/16" nipple on the head didn't seem secure either. I finally found HPS high temp reinforced silicon caps that cleaned up the space. They are another option.
I can’t find the answer to my question you seem like you understand these cars really well I took off my intake manifold put everything together and can’t figure out where this one wire goes for the life of me. Do you think you could help me?
cars long since been totaled. I didn’t have any issues with this install. Issues with starting or rumbling could be related to fueling. check the fuel pump/sender (fuel tank) and the fuel pressure regulator (located on the rail)
Hi there. I’m remembering correctly, that mass of wires serves a bunch of different sensors. If you disconnect them sensors you should be able to peal back the wiring (and the little box) and move all that up near the firewall to improve access
Also was wondering having this simplified setup do you have any backflow of oil or residue milky residue some people say they recommend getting a catch can oil what do you think?
I absolutely recommend installing an oil catch-can. I did not and I have some of the residue you mention. They’re fairly cheap and easy to do while you’re in there.
@@nathanhammermaster789 Yeah sounds good I'm going to order one now so installing the catch can what I get it from the front side of that vent hose and straight to the intake should I also install one on the icv valve as well? Or just one side
That hose that attaches to the throttle body where exactly does it attach too? Trying fix previous owners mess and is it originally supposed to be there?

Thanks for writing the info and the fuel hose sizes. Cool keep it up.
THANK YOU

two years too late but shoot me your questions
Is it possible to get the write up? The link to the WIX and M42 website seem to be not working .
I can dig. no promises
May be do you have any issues when the engine start any rummbling or something like that

How the hek did u take out lower intake with all the wires in the middle????

@@nathanhammermaster789 i have 1 wire thats going from box down to firewall and i cant unplug it
What was the size of the PVC insert that you put in that hose?
The hose I used as an insert was the original hose coming off of the nub and feeding into the throttle body heaters. I forget the dimensions.
@@nathanhammermaster789 ahh thanks bud!
What are the intake manifold torque specs... ??!!
Looks like 10 Nm for the M6 bolts, 15 Nm for the M7, and 22 Nm for the M8

So by removing the heater plate from the manifold will I have any change in idle?
I don’t know for sure, but I believe it idles at the same speed as it did before the delete.
You shouldn’t be removing the idle control valve. Those hoses should still be used.
That hose that attaches to the throttle body where exactly does it attach too? Trying fix previous owners mess and is it originally supposed to be there?
When you remove the idle control valve (icv) and route it with hoses the idle becomes lumpy and I was wondering if you know how to combat that problem
lumpy idles are typically a sign of an air leak somewhere
*somewhere in the intake system
@@nathanhammermaster789 damn man it took you long enough to reply lol. The car now is turbocharged and e85 makes over 400. Keep being a cool cat💪😎
