Well, they're gone!

Jerked out the secondary throttle blades tonight. I think I bent every one getting them out. :mad:

Waiting on parts now!

I just removed throttle plates and left everything else in. Tie wrapped secondary vacuum mechanism OPEN.

Dumb question. Am I correct to assume that you need a custom chip to run these open all the time? Seems like the fuel ratios would be all jacked up.

You do need to modify the calibration so secondary injectors
are always on. At closed throttle, they'll be off. VE tables
should be revisited also.

I just never heard of any one "ripping them out." I miss read the OP though and thought he was just going to fire it up. I was being subtle at suggesting the need for a chip. Dumbass me should have read the post more carefully! :thumbsup:

What will this do regarding state (NV) emission testing? Seems like the car may run too rich to pass? I have a DRM chip and the car will not pass (too rich) with the power key on FULL POWER (Secondaries open).

John,

Right now, I don't know what it's going to do to the emissions testing. I turn the key off anyway. It won't pass emissions testing in Clark County right now either due to some other issues with over-sized injectors and lack of chip management ( read, I haven't fixed the chip to compensate for the 24# injectors yet)

I'll let you know what happens.
