ka24de intake butterfly system?

[weird240]

so iam in the process of rebuilding my ka24de. iam planning on doing a ka-t in a month or so but for now its just going to be a daily. ive done some research and have found that when i do my turbo i will have to remove the butterfly system form my intake. my question is if i use it for a daily for the next 2 months should i just take off my system now or wait till i get my turbo on? will it f*uck with my idle?

if your planning to take it out in the future, might as well do it now. since you have the manifold out it'll be easier to plug it. i think it'll only affect the torque not your idle.

i think it'll only affect the torque not your idle.

in a good way or bad way??

[r3v_v3ng3]

loss of torque in the lower rpm so i'm guessing bad

[Shabbernigdo]

i dissabled my secondarys and i can say there is a loss in the low range but its not major but it is a little noticable.

This is on a stock ka24de.

Between 1 and 2 k you can kinda feel it but after that its not really noticable.

so i removed my secondaries... does anyone take out the shaft the butterflys are on? i tried to do mine, but only got 25% there and its jammed. this is on a spare intake plenum i have...

[Shabbernigdo]

yes the the butterfly shaft is removed and the little holes it leaves in the mainfold are sealed up

[r3v_v3ng3]

there should be a screw in the middle between the no 2 and 3 cylinder. dunno if you took that out.

[96NismoZ]

I did remove that screw but it still won't budge. What have you guys used to seal those holes up??

[atownnismo240]

i didnt plug my holes and it runs the same a** when i plugged the holes on my old one
