Hey guys, starting to get to the motor stage of my build (no experience with piston motor as yet. Basically wanted to start working out what has to be retained and what can be removed in regards to factory intake etc. It's going to be running a microtech LT10X and bosh coils (still have found room for these yet!) been told i dont need to run an airflow meter?. Ive done a bit of research n found some info in regards to what thing are and what goes where and was wondering if anyone could shed some light on these:

1. Air-con idle up valve etc. can this be removed and plated up if im not gonna have air-con?
2. Cold idle solenoid air meter thing on the front of the intake. stay or remove?
3. one way PVC valve. stay or remove
4. going to be running a maddat heater box, where to pick up water feeds?
5. turbo water return line. wheres best to run it. (i dont have the stock steel hose)


any help is greatly apreciated.

cheers

i was running a haltech e8 in my old ute
as for the idle up and cold start some tuners like them on for a cold start tune, if you dont want one like i didnt i removed mine and just made a plate
as for the coils, i was running 4 ls1 coils which i mounted on a peice of booker rod and that i made some mounts for up under the dash(be sure they clear the wiper arms)i wasnt running a heater so there was plenty of room, it also alloowed my to run the leads straight out the firewall and you couldnt see them at all for a nice clean look

thanks for the info mate, so you romved the air con vale on the side of the plenum and the cold idle soleoid on the front of the plenum?
was thinking to do the same thing with the coils and bring em through the firewall striaght into the head, need to get the haeter box to work out if it's possible. how did you penitrate the fire wall?

cheers

Yeah mate removed them both as for the firewall I wasn't running a heater so I went out the original heater hole
