umm...im dumb wat the hell are block off plates???? https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/dunno.gif

They block off a port or passage when you remove whatever it was that was supposed to be there.

you need them for when you want to get rid of all the emissions crap!

i.e. air pump and wat not?

ACV, EGR, SPLIT AIR, yadda

ACV is the only one I have blocked off. NO EGR on the JDM FD's...split air is what?

Does anybody sell a block off plate for the EGR, or do you have to make them yourself?

racingbeat has one, k2rd has one too i believe, k2rd has alot of blockoff plates.

Thanks, Pengaru!

I ordered my EGR blank-off plate today from k2rd. I know I could make my own, but for only $15 including shipping, the store-bought unit is quick & easy.

I just got the complete k2rd block off kit for my FD. wow I'm blocking off everything. LOL I got like 10 plates https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png

For the Aspec FD's you only need 3 BOP....AWS, EGR, ACV.

ok i'm another dumb one.. so when you block these off, do you leave them blocked off? or do you just block them off when you remove something and then take it off and replace that something.. i guess i'm confused as to what exactly you're doing when you block that stuff off

you block them off to remove the component from the car permanently.

goddamn i spent twice as much... oh well!!! :(

i had k2rd make me block off plates and exhaust flanges for the 20b too.

I bought the mechanical OMP block off plate the other day, k2rd has cheap prices. I hope they are still making money.

and blocking these things off.. helps you in what way ? hp increase ?

It depends on what you are blocking off, when you remove your ACV because you've added headers or removed your air pump (or both) you will need to install a block off plate to take it's place. It's simply a requirement otherwise you will have a big ass intake leak, and exhaust leak, on the side of the lower intake manifold. If your EGR is malfunctioning, or you want to remove it for a potential HP increase (debatable) or just want to preserve it for when you do have to smog the car, a block off plate will need to take it's place... once again, to prevent from having an exhaust leak on the top of the engine. With the metering oil pump block-off plate you would use it when you eliminate the metering oil pump, why one would want to remove it varies... in my case I'm switching to pre-mix because I don't want to inject oil from the sump and motor oil just causes carbon deposits anyways. Pre-mixing 2 stroke oil will lubricate better and burn cleaner. Blocking things off with blockoff plates is just a consequence of removing some sort of accessory, usually emissions related. Wether it results in an HP increase or not depends on what accessory you were eliminating when you needed to use the blockoff plate.

Here's the FD kit, comes with all stainless aleen head bolts too. A good deal for the money
