Hey guys,
As I understand it, the main argument for KEEPING the secondaries is originality, whereas the main argument for REMOVING them is simplicity. Is that really it? Is there anything I'm missing here? Some other compelling reasons that I should consider one option over the other? I'm not trying to start a poll of who has removed them and who has kept them, and I'm not really looking for opinions, e.g. "I removed mine and like it, so you should, too!" Rather, I'm just trying to fully understand the pros and cons of both options before moving forward. FWIW, my car is not heavily modified but it's certainly no NCRS candidate, either, so that's not a consideration for me. Thanks for your input! |

For me, removing them was a no brainer. Less moving parts and less chance for a vac leak.

The only con is it's not original and that's only a con if you want to keep it original. If that doesn't matter to you there is no reason to keep them.

Do all 16 injectors run all the time with the secondaries removed? Or am I way off and the 16 injectors run all the time regardless?

So far, this is pretty much the feedback I was expecting.
Please forgive my ignorance on the specifics of the system, but am I correct in assuming that removing them will disable the "valet key" function of my car? Remember, mine is a 1990 and the switch on my car functions somewhat differently than '91-'95 cars...not sure if that matters at all. Thanks again, all! |
