I forgot to re-do this thread after the forum was hacked, so here it is again!



I sell 1/8th thick stainless steel block off plates for all 2nd gens and the 3rd gen. Also, for those of you doing or have done cosmo swaps, I have kits for 20B/13B-RE motors as well. All the plates come with stainless steel hardward and a hex key for easy installation.



If the stock gasket is intact, nothing extra is needed, or you can scrape the old gasket off and use a bead of RTV to seal the plate.



You can purchase the plates either by the kit, or only buy the exact ones you need.

Feel free to PM me or send me an IM if you have any questions. I ship same day, most of the time it takes 2-3 days to arrive from when I ship.

They allow you to remove unneccessary equipment. Say for instance you are no longer running a cat, you can remove the ACV, put a block off plate in its place and block off the split air port. You eliminate any possibility of a vacuum leak by removing the ACV and it gives the engine a much cleaner look.

got my FC S5 TII set today, they are great, anyone who thinks they can save $35 and make these themselves are foolish, the hardware is top notch and the plates themselves are very precisely cut.



the stainless hardware gets me very excited!
