deleting IMRC's

[bumsoil]

I have spent too much money and time trying to get the IMRC's to work right and not leak. but I give up.

bama will tune for imrc's and im about to make deletes. any advice for me?
ill be using aluminum plates BTW.

Did your car come with aluminum plates? Only advice I have is try not to get gas or carb cleaner on any of the rubber gaskets.

 

[bumsoil]

it did, I replaced them with the composite plates off a low mileage 4v. still leak...

If you decide to delete them, do not have BAMA tune it. Everyone says not to and they are right. It is horrible, if you can just get a local tuner to do it.

 

[bumsoil]

issue is local tuners want a lot of money for a tune. im going to call around and ask some more though.

 

[bumsoil]

what is done in a tune for the deletes? other then timing and getting rid of the CEL.

If you want to run with the stock tune with deletes, you can make a relay circuit that fool the PCM into thinking the IMRCs are still there. Then you don't need a tune, although you may be leaving a couple of HP on the table: http://www.classictiger.com/mustang/UnderTheHood/IMRCDeleteRelayCircuit/IMRCDeleteRelayCircuit.htm

Whats wrong with having Bama do the tune for the deletes?

Hey OP-The team at Bama Performance is more than happy to work with you on this! I was going to say if you were closer we could have you come in and dyno tune the car right here! Shoot them a call directly at 888.226.9764 and they'll get you some help!

Get your tune from LaSota racing. I deleted mine and got my tune from Don. Super helpful, and it runs great.

 

[bumsoil]

will this mess up how mu car runs? the whole goal here is to fix my car running like crap so I want to do it right.

ill definitely call bama and don and talk to them. if the car can work out the extra airflow I will start on this tonight.

If you get the mmr deletes and your tune from LaSota, you will get results. Keep in mind that a tune won't fix a mechanical problem, it's gotta be in good working order aside from IMRCs. In the case of deletes, mine were stuck closed. So deletes plus a tune improved things for me.

What gears do you have? I've heard that stock gear ratios can suffer some at the low end when IMRCS are deleted. They are there to reduce airflow and improve torque below 3250rpms. I have 4:10s so I didn't notice.

 

[bumsoil]

I have 4.10s as well. how does lasota send me the tune? if I had a SCT chip could he load on that? or do I need a handheld?

 

[Tickle]

I have a handheld and he emailed me the tune. Do you have a chip or a handheld tuner? If you need a good deal on a used tuner, look up the svtp user Frianchi. He sold me an unlocked tuner for a good price
