I didn't think it had anything to do with emissions as it did opening the valve to full-open as it is when operating normally- the mods we're doing just keep it full-open instead of letting it return to "half-open" as it does when below 7K RPM's.

My impression was that the whole point of the mod was to increase flow to increase maximum top end and horsepower/torquewhile maintaining the low-end and killing the MIL.

I don't think you're being a dick at all, , hell I could be completely wrong!

I do know though, for 100% certainty that this whole mod came from the idea of more raw power. Not emissions.

 

By the way, the flapper mod, since it works off the same servo of the HTEV, is pretty much necessary in the sense that it all works together - if you disable one the other should follow suit.

In any case I'm still interested to see how this new servoelimnator works. Could be a HUGE market for these things if professionally packaged.

 

"full-open instead of letting it return to "half-open" as it does when below 7K RPM's. "

Agreed---MORE POWER---I don't think it is half open. It is in words but in reality it is full through. Here's the thing, I'll try it both ways, but it's my seat of the pants opinion. I have no problem being the guinea pig if it helps a brother out in the end. I got the time and equipment....The low end version is junk. Anyone could figure that. But between the mid and high end, I don't know. It really runs great like that. I just took the wifey out for her second spin around the block(not so into that), and could feel the loss of low end even more. OK so I'll make up with -1+2. Been going there even without the improved feel.

THX for not thinking I am being an *** or not taking your opinion. The whole turbulence thing has me questioning. Will try both, and really in the end I don't care so much about running 10K+rpm but my style is more having the uumph when I want it.

 

And the flapper, agree too it should only be done in conjuction with the exhaust. The reason I say I don't think it did much is the airbox on the 929 is so big and has so much volume I don't see it restricting all that much. When completely closed yeah, i.e. the rich smell at idle, but when it starts to open I think there's more then enough flow.

 

so i wish youwould have posted this about two months ago becasue i just replaced mine because the plastic gears were stripped and it made this stupid noise that i coudlnt stad so i just replaced it for a lil over a hundred off ebay ever since no problems

 

easiest, cheapest way to not throw a code you have to leave it plugged in even though its doing nothing, if your already throwing a code unhook your battery for a lil bit then turn it back on. to keep it open you leave the cables on and set them so its open, bend them over and tape/zip tie them so they cant move, it's what i did a long time ago and havent had a problem since.. I am getting some plates water jetted from a buddy and will soon be removing the HTEV all together with just straight pipes running in place of it just like the HASS eliminator. I will post up pics when i get the stuff. Hope that helps some

 

Any progress, folks?

 

Ok here is the raw just welded look..still have to clean it up and stuff

so how much will one cost me?

 

Kid, still waiting on weather to be nice enough to ride and get some data with Sam. Next step we are taking is to plug in a Yamahaservo motor and see if that works to eliminate the MIL light, then take some readings at 0-3000rpm, 3000-7000rpm and over 7000 rpm. Then Sam can start designing the components for the servo harness.
