swirl control valve delete questions

[JDmisaac]

so i've read the posts on here about deleting this but it didn't state these things
i've pulled all the secondary butterflies out and the rod out now i'm at a standstill about what to do with the holes that the rod ran through but i figured the outer hole where the rod inserted into the manifold would cause a vacuum leak and each side of each runner where the rod ran through would cause turbulence between the runners so do i need to jb weld each hole off or any other suggestion on this pics would be great but either way do fill me in.




thanks in advance

i have heard you can jb weld the hole.. but i honestly wouldnt want some glue so close to my head/valves/pistons. if i were you i would get them welded closed and flattened.

Leave the swirl valve on and rod in, take off the plates.

I JB Welded them. No problems so far.

so far.

lol no offense but why not just buy an s14 upper intake? they are cheap and if you already have it off..... just makes sense to me..

[corn322]

None taken.
'cause I already had the S13 intake and the JB weld.
