Question about KA Turbo - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

This question is for guys/ladies who have a turbo KA. Did you guys remove the swirl control from the intake manifold? Does removing this have any influence on performance (positive or negative)?

You mean the 2nd Butterfly?

Cormegas13 · 02-12-2002, 04:37 PM

yeah. Any info?

Elimating the butterfly valves would allow more air into the IM.  Boosted cars might benefit more from such a mod, although your low-end will suffer a bit.

If the valve is vacuum actuated, just disconnect the line to the diaphram, and plug it up.

I was thinking about removing it when I rebuild the engine for turbo.
