The link I found my info on. The OP does it on a b18c1 but its pretty much all the same.

Its a valve that sits right under your throttle body. It brings the cars idle higher so it can warm up, then drops it down when the car is all warmed up. A lot of people by-pass it because it could lead to idle problems/leaks. It acts just like a thermostat.

My reason^

I know I seen one for the integra's, but I'm sure these will work since most of the throttle bodies are similar:

Either way, looks awesome man! Saving yourself some extra cash in the long wrong! Header is coming out great BTW! I need to do mine soon!

I'm a tight ass so I'm always tryin to save a dollar! :thumbs up

Thanks man! my car always seems to act sorta funny when I start it, especially when it is super cold and that could be the prob

That would definitely explain why it idles high in the colder parts of the year, not so much now. Lol.

Yup! You can acutally just delete it easier by just running a hose straight to your IACV and cap off the FITV ports under your throttle body.

Well I got it good enough for my liking. I didn't do the very bottom because it's not visible anyhow and it had a huge dent from bottoming out.

Not bad considering it us to look like this vv

 

[justjdm]

Damn, shit looks good! Wish I had the time/effort to do mine! Probably would just rust back up since it's a cheapy ebay one anyways. Good progress!

Nice work on the header Nate. Looks brand new. So fresh and so clean

Thanks guys! I had about 15 hrs or so in it. Hopefully I'll get it put on today or tomorrow.

Update!

Today I did work, son!
First off I pulled the Pro1 header off, cleaned up the front of the block a little bit with a wire brush and some degreaser.
Then I drained the oil and changed the oil filter.
Pulled the oil pan off and replaced the gasket.
Re-installed the oil pan.
Filled with oil.
Installed new header gasket and freshly polished DC header.
Pulled my fake cat off because it was too short to reach the DC unless I extended it.
Went to the local muffler shop and had him make me a 2.25"x23" "delete pipe" :lol:
Installed the custom delete pipe
Sprayed header down with brake cleaner.
After cleaning up my mess I fired the ole bitch up and went for a drive.

Never mind the gay blue hose on the vc! Lol I ripped the other one in half

It Sounds different Than it use to..

My buddy polished up a valve cover for his BMW and then put a clear gloss powder coat on it. It turned out pretty good.
