Hey guys,

This was using my standard CMVC delete plate tune for 93. Basically the same tune I've been using for all of my previous CMVC delete plate orders. I was checking it for hp and a/f differences and it was as I expected in that the a/f doesn't change when you install these. I've tuned plenty of cars on the dyno with them already but never a true before and after deal. I strapped the car to the dyno and did the before and never disconnected it. It only took around 30 minutes for the complete swap.

One thing though, if the engine is hot watch it, you're gonna loose alot of fuel when you disconnect the fuel rail and injectors to remove the upper intake.

Also, go ahead and remove the CMVC motor and you can leave it disconnected as it's not a necessary peice anymore.

Thanks, Doug.

 

Hi Doug - have emailed you re. ordering the tune.

Thanks
Chris

 

It's not necessary to disconnect the fuel rail. You can just flop the whole assembly over to the driver's side out of the way.

 

That's their billet plates. The regular cast plates are between 129-149 depending on who you order from.

+1 Do not disconnect the fuel lines. Just pulls the injectors our and flip it from the passenger side to the drivers side and lay it upside down. Now you can pull the plenum off. 1 hour job...

 

What CR said. I got them through the website, just the cast plates. Here's the link.

Does anyone have link to a good cmvc "how to" write-up?

 

Wait, you mean Tacobill hasnt done this yet??

 

I still don't understand why just removing the plates and shaft from the stock unit is not everybit as good as the custom milled pieces (of course filling in the holes left by the stock shaft removal) ... and a lot cheaper than handing out $150?

 

I sell them for 129.99, so there's 20 dollars to save you, but either way you're right... it's easier to remove the plates as you mentioned.

 

Doug, Tacobill, and Thump_rrr always seem to contribute a **** good amount of tech advice, don't they?

 

Here's a write up that's been around for a bit. As stated previously, the only difference is you do not need special tools for the fuel lines as you do not disconnect them. Just pull out all the injectors and flip the complete harness from the passenger side to the drivers side.

are these on all 197's or just the 05's and some 06?

 

There shouldn't be any changes through '07 for this particular mod.

 

Can you get a "stock tune" modified for these? I have to reinstall my original airbox etc for smog in a couple years.

 

Instead of returning to stock (I did the same thing a few months ago), why don't you try have the sensors turned back on in the tune and use MILs to prevent codes?

 

C&L CAI is illegal in CA and will fail a smog visual. I have to put the stock airbox back on. My tunes are for a C&L.

 

Ahhh...sunny california. Gotcha. I'll shut up now.

 

Lowe,once you finish all ur mods including:
Mufflers
CAI
Tune
UDPS
LT'S
CMDP'S
Cams
ported cylinder heads


do u think u can pass emissions?

 

Here in TX, I'm hoping so. No sniffer, just ODBII port testing, and a visual check for something resembling cats. So hopfully leaving all the sensors on and ready in the tune and the use of MIL eliminators will get me thru.
