sr20det IACV DELETE

[Turb]

So I'm in the middle of simplifying my water lines and I'm deleting my A/C and HEAT,
So I'm just looping those two hoses that go to the heater core, and I'm finding it difficult to loop them with the little coolant ports for IACV.

Basically my question is Can I just cap the 2 coolant ports for the IACV? Or am I going to run into idling problems?

Heres the guide I'm following, note he deleted his IACV but doesn't explain why and what to do with the exposed ends, and what draw backs blocking off the IACV has.

I'm pretty sure on the SR the IACV uses the temperature of a coolant [as a factor] to determine how much to open the valve. Which means if you don't run coolant through it, it won't operate properly.

Frank is correct about the IACV using the coolant to help warm up. It should work properly once the car is at operating temperature.

If you follow the guide, you'll noticed he changed up the coolant feed line, this eliminates the coolant flowing through the Throttle Body. Since the IACV lines come from the TB, you don't have to worry about capping them, you can just leave them exposed.

The SR Throttle Plate does not allow very much air at all to pass through when its shut. You will need a standalone to get your idle correct, or keep the IACV and just use it w/o coolant lines.

When I went standalone, I made a block-off plate for the IACV and sandwiched it between the IACV and Intake Manifold. I then capped my Intercooler Pipe and cracked my Throttle Plate slightly using the adjustment screw on the TB.

This changes the resting position of the TPS, so you have to ensure you correct your values in your ECU or it will throw everything out of whack.

So basically try and find a way to loop them without cutting out the iacv valve!
