    *edit*

    so with the FIAV delete, if it's say, 15 degrees F outside & i go to start my car, i'd have to manually sit there & hold the gas till it warms up?
    i will prob buy one but i need to know if what ipd says holds true. i live in ak and prob wont even see temps above 55 till may but, i can start driving her april 1st(seasonal tags), its my fav day of the year!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! would the lack of the fiav suck in the cold climates? hell i still will get one to try and see if my dash pot was really needed and my stocker tb looks nasty compared to the rest of my engine anyway.

    I am not sure mainly because i live in CA and haven never seen weather that cold lol. But what i did notice it just idles a little low untill it is warmed up. so it should just not warm up as quick

    I've seen people say yes, and I've seen people say bumping the idle up to around 1k rpm means you don't have to. Interested in hearing how it works on Chatz's car, since I don't have any engine management piggybacks yet. I did the FIAV blockoff on my evo and a friend has had it on his for years, but he had to adjust the warmup section of the ECU.

    I just hold the throttle for about 5 sec then let it idle.

    Are you idling ~750rpm or something else? Can you try setting idle to 1k rpm and see if you have to hold the throttle at all?

    guess i can buy a few extra tb gaskets (and waste a whole 15 minutes of my day,lol) to swap back to the stocker till the weather warms up.

    im idling at 750-800. When my iac was bad i turned up the idle to 1050-11 and in the mornings i could use the remote start. I haven't tried it since i replaced the iac

    yeah...remote start is what would worry me about this. guess i can always adjust the biss for winter use & just live with the high idle. i'll hold off for now till i see some more people running it.

    p.s.

    in for a black anodized option....someday.
