Evening all

I've been trying to modify/prep my tgv's and I can't get the rod out from the centre. Has anyone done this or know how to remove it?

Anyone done this before got an idea of how much welding and grinding etc costs?

Cheers

thanks mate. Thats the sort of thing I wanna achieve. I'm gonna smooth off all the exterior parts too that aren't needed.

I just wanted to do as much myself and use these TVG's I had lying around as I've got a pretty expensive engine build coming up

Once the butterflies are out just give it a whack iirc. My mate is welding mine up so I can't tell you the cost, but you can also fill the holes with epoxy resin. When I get them back I'll be busy grinding and porting before getting them painted to match my new inlet manifold

cheers Jon, I'll give it a go. Put some picy's up mate when its done. Are you gonna grind the old connector parts that aren't needed anymore? I'd like to make mine as close to the cossy ones as possible

Presumably it just like removing the shaft on a throttle body.; remove butterflies and pull/tap out the shaft?

Obviously its going to be tight due to the bushings and seals, so maybe you need to be a little more brutal with it?

Guide here seems to suggest that: http://www.newenglandsubarus.com/for...ead.php?t=4522

That's exactly what it's like.

Once it's done I'll stick pics up, also gonna make my own thermal spacers

cheers, good to see I wasn't the only one that had to drill through the butterfly screws

I wasn't sure at first, but did it anyway
