Air boost valve block-off

[19dabeast85]

I've searched and searched and can't find anyone that makes a block-off plate for the air boost valve on the prelude intake......Anyone know where to get one, or is this gonna be a custom fabrication? I don't need nor want this valve and would rather just delete it.

I know I can just cut a thin piece of metal to put between the valve and gasket, but would rather have the valve completely removed for a more seamless look.

you mite could find someone with a JDM manifold and see if they'll sale you there's. but other than that you'll have to make your own.

Yea, what I thought...need to make some friends at a machine shop.

or just take sheet metal and 2 10s and make your own block off. My f22b came with it blocked off already. But they shouldn't be to hard to find.

Say, what's the benefits of removing that valve?

I bought a jdm h22 manifold from Ghost2.2 and it had the block off valve.

You can pretty much make your own if you wanted to. Perhaps some sheet metal cut to the shape of the opening and tapped with holes.

Most likely nothing performance-wise. I just want to eliminate it mainly for aesthetic purposes and then just to eliminate it as every giving me a vacuum issue.

It's only really needed in extremely cold climates.

ANY idea where to source one of those? It's an OEM part in Japan so it seems like it should be source-able but i've had no luck whatsoever.

Someone made one for me a while ago. Actually Ben, it was Steve that gave it to me. He was at that first meet you ever went to. He had the H23 coupe with nitrous.

Yeah, I think I remember that....someone with CNC access should seriously make like 50 of these and sell them here for $25. They'd probably all sell.

I think I finally found one on ebay in a round-about-way of getting it.

i could make some, check out the egr block off plate i made in the fab section.

Yeah that plate looks awesome! If you made some you'd definitely have me as one buyer!

The block plate Ikayto posted looks to be custom (unless is was grinded down), the OEM one has casting-like ridges on the face w/ some high and low areas, and I would assume a recess on the back for the figure 8 O-ring. I've seen several of them on here, and also in person. That'd be a really easy plate to make yourself though, I have made block plates for the EGR, IACV, and Air boost valve out of 3/16" brass.

I'm watching a plenum on ebay right now that's being sold from a seller in Canada. It has the OEM block off plate installed. I messaged him asking him to sell just the plate, lol. I doubt that. Maybe I'll try to message him again and see if he'll at least give me the part number so I can find it online.

Is it the whole plenum with TB? I'll take buy the rest of the plenum if you have to get it.
