I am working on putting in my new motor and I would like to delete these two things. Reason for deleting the FIAV is because I believe mine is stuck and causes high idle on a cold start. Even after properly adjusting the biss and getting the ISC to correct values in link. The heater core, I dont really have a reason to other than to make more room and a cleaner bay. Also, the car is only a summer car, driven only on nice days, no rain, during the day, and I only put on around 2500 miles a year. The car sees occasional track use but is mostly a weekend car.
Are you guys that delete the heater core, do you have overheating issues? Are there any cons to deleting it other than not having defrosters? I would assume the AC switch would still turn on the other rad fan. Does the heater core act as a second cooling area? Maybe over pressure issues? I wont do this if the risks out weigh the positives. Just want basic motor.
The fiav, I been chasing this issue for a while now. I have read about manually adjusting it with the freeze plug removed but I have bad luck as well. So the cons of this would be just a rough cold start? The drivabilty would remain the same as long as I keep the ISC. I do have v3 full if that matters at all.
With the open nipples/ports, I do not want to weld them. I have heard of people tapping them to plug, looping the lines, or just cap them with a bolt. What would be a more professional method without welding. More of a permanent thing but could be undone if needed? I read somewhere that the nipples on the TB just pull out? I have both block off plates. One that deletes both ISC and FIAV and one that keeps the ISC. Just curious what others are doing. With the block off plate, are you guys replacing the FIAV gasket, sealer, or just bolting it up?
