if you live in warm temps all season do it.
if it gets cold and temp changes from freezing to warm leave it alone unless you want to tune.
you can tune out the iac and the fitv.
my idle jumps up and down when i remove my fitv. but i only tried it in the winter. im sure it will idle fine in summer months

I ran a 96 GSR throttle body on my B16 in my car for a lil while, no adverse affects what-so-ever.
You don't "tune out" an FITV, there's no electrical signal coming from it so the ECU doesnt look for it, nor does it miss it.
You're friend will be fine.

Doesnt the ECU send a signal to the IACV to actually control it if there is no FITV present? ?? but it would have to be an ECU that originally has no FITV..
I now thats what i had to do when i swapped out MY OEM TB from the Single to the Omni that had no FITV.. The hondata actually controlled the idle through the IACV..

The ecu looks for the iacv regardless if there is or isn't a fitv... the fitv is not electronic so the ecu doesn't know or care if its not present.
I put a stock gsr TB on my b16 w/a stock usdm p30 and like I said I had zero issues.

Only way to delete it is a aftermarket throttle body cuzz you by pass it by running the hose from the original fitv right to the back of the iacv on the left side that way it still gets coolant

That's wrong. I used a TB off a 96 gsr. No fitv so no bypassing.
