Hi, just saw this pic,(sorry if it's your!) and noticed the idle control valve hard pipe has been vented to atmosphere. Would this still work ok? Does it not rely on the inlet vacuum, or is it controlled by the manifold pressure?
I'd like to do this, but worried i'd have running issues.


Thanks,Mit

 

my set up on my classic is the same although my cone is directly onto the idle valve. i'm running a simtek and no maf.

no issues in the running (makes a hell of a noise though).

 

Ace, thanks, im looking to get rid of the resonator box, so being able to vta that pipe is a bonus.
What sort of noise does it produce? Is it a sucking noise?

Cheers, Mit

 

yes a loud sucking noise

 

Right, i'll give it a try, if the noise is too much, i'll have a re think.

Thanks,Mit

 

weird i took my pipe off and mine stalled every time??

 

Did you blank the inlet pipe?

 

inlet pipe?

 

The idle valve pipe goes to the inlet resonator box. If you take it off, you'll have a hole in the inlet, after the maf, which it wouldn't like very much! It will need blocking.

 

oops lolz i will give it another look tomorrow

 

doh, yes block off the resonator
