Eliminating the secondaries
I am going to remove the plenum on my 91 to replace the injectors. While it is off, I am going to install Jerry's new and improved fuel pressure regulator. I also want to remove all the secondary stuff to make the car simpler. I know Marc has a DVD which describes the removal process but I am wondering if there is a DVD that shows the secondary removal process. Dynomite describes the process with some pictures but I would really like some more detailed information. Perhaps once the plenum is off, his descriptions will make more sense to me. Thanks in advance, Perry

Re: Eliminating the secondaries
No videos that I am aware of. Too many old guys here (till now) that can?t handle a smart phone. The references you mention are very good though. Don?t forget you will need a Haibeck chip to handle the secondary delete in the ECM. Member Domenic Sorresso (Xfirez51) also does them. I have mine deleted, Dominic did the tune. Runs seamlessly! Nice not to have the secondary system issues worry.

Re: Eliminating the secondaries
Ditto.... Mine are working as theyre supposed to as well. Im not sure why so many guys dislike one of the features that makes the LT-5 special...

Re: Eliminating the secondaries
The simplest thing to do is just tie wrap them open and modify the calibration. That was my first step, then I removed throttle plates and kept throttle shafts in open position again w tie wrap. When I had heads ported. We took out everything.

However, while apart that is a good thing to inspect

Re: Eliminating the secondaries
No, I know they work fine. They will work fine until they don?t work fine
Same with my fuel pumps

Re: Eliminating the secondaries
My Secondaries are in super shape and my FULL POWER switch is working fine.
I did replace all secondary vacuum system for $100. New Secondary Port Throttle Vacuum System Yes........that is what I think I think it is a bit foolish to eliminate one of the most unique and selectable and functional options for the LT5 (The Full Power switch on the console)..... And just because you do not want to do a simple fix but rather do a more complex "fix" eliminating the secondaries
