Why Choose iFJF
The factory CMCV (IMRC) system uses plastic butterfly plates that commonly fail on Gen 3 Coyotes: actuators strip, plates rattle and break, and worst-case plate fragments get ingested by the engine. Locking them out with billet aluminum is a proven reliability upgrade for track, strip, and performance builds.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Will this trigger a check engine light?
A: Yes. Removing CMCV sets DTCs. ECU tuning is required. Kit includes hardware only — tuning sold separately.
Q: Is this street legal?
A: OFF-ROAD / COMPETITION USE ONLY. Not CARB-certified. Not legal for on-road vehicles in emissions states.
Q: Will I lose low-end torque?
A: With proper tuning, the delete should not cause noticeable torque loss. A quality tune optimizes timing and fuel for the unlocked configuration.
Q: What's included in the kit?
A: Billet lockout plates, grade 10.9 hardware, vacuum port caps/plugs, and detailed installation instructions with torque specs.
Q: Can I DIY install?
A: Requires intake manifold removal (2–4 hours). Intermediate-to-advanced job. Professional install recommended.
Q: Will this add horsepower?
A: Primary benefit is reliability, but removing the CMCV restriction supports additional top-end HP with supporting mods.
