If you want to get rid of VTC, just unplug the VTC solenoid. You really don't need to do anything else if you don't want to. And either leave the solenoid in there or find a plug to replace it with.

The way that works is once the VTC gets a 12v source to it, the solenoid opens and lets oil through a passage to the VTC cam gear and resulting in the VTC to be "turned on." If you unplug the VTC plug, there is no way of getting power to turn the solenoid on so VTC will not work.

I would get a s13 intake cam gear just to get rid of that bulky VTC cam gear anyway. And unless you decide to put it back on later, you can sell those things for decent money. But looks like you already have aftermarket cam gears so thats taken care of.

But like I said, no need to plug any ports up. If you guys ever get a chance to study a s14 head, its pretty cool to check out how the oil flows to the VTC gear.
