i own a rs2000 and was just wondered what i would gain by this mod and how to do it ?

cheers for ya help lads

 

You will only gain a very small amount ,but every bit helps.
It is very difficult to get the nasty little pipes out of the mainfold but it is pointless leaving them in and just blocking them off. When they are removed you will be left with 4 holes around 1/2 inch dia that will need welding up and grinding smooth inside and out. The RS2000 has the pipes welded to the flange that fits to the head on the inside creating a restriction, you need to weld the outside of these to the flange and grind out the original weld using a die grinder or electric drill and grinding point.
Don't forget to blank off the small pipe that goes to the plenum or you will have an air leak, you can either leave the control valve wired up and just take all the pipes of or remove it completely, removing it might make the ECU show an error message if you connect it to any diagnostic equipment.
