After the swap I seemed to have a good deal more of vibration, especially in the pedals (later fount to be a rubbing issue of my oil relocation kit rubbing on my clutch cylinder). Overall Im pleased with the new manifold. Soon Ill need to go get some dyno pulls to see what sort of changes I'll see form the swap.]]> Erik M. photo Tue, 17 Jan 2006 22:01:28 -0700 http://repo.jackmoves.com/v/erik/album53/album96/album129/album215/SANY0749.jpg.html http://repo.jackmoves.com/v/erik/album53/album96/album129/album215/SANY0749.jpg.html
And there you have it. It took me about 7 hours to do the swap. I did have to cut my own throttle body gasket though (not pictured cause I dont reccomend it) and I had to run to the hardware store 2times for the right bolts. I also cleaned up a bit of my wire harness under the manifold.]]> Erik M. photo Tue, 17 Jan 2006 22:01:27 -0700 http://repo.jackmoves.com/v/erik/album53/album96/album129/album215/SANY0748.jpg.html http://repo.jackmoves.com/v/erik/album53/album96/album129/album215/SANY0748.jpg.html
Next attach the charge pipe and the throttle cable. The new manifold sits higher so hoepfully you have some slack in your charge piping. Also at a glance it looks like the throttle cable bracket sits too high and wont clear the hood. IT WILL CLEAR THE HOOD. Dont worry about it. Later you can perhaps make your own or Ive heared that using a type R bracket will work also. You may also notice that I had to lower my PCV valve a bit (for use with my catch can) so that the new charge pipe location would clear it.]]> Erik M. photo Tue, 17 Jan 2006 22:01:27 -0700 http://repo.jackmoves.com/v/erik/album53/album96/album129/album215/SANY0747.jpg.html http://repo.jackmoves.com/v/erik/album53/album96/album129/album215/SANY0747.jpg.html
Now put the new throttle body gasket into place and attach the throttle body. You will need four #8 metric bolts. You can see here that I decided on stainless hex head bolts. Then plug in your map sensor and TPS. ]]> Erik M. photo Tue, 17 Jan 2006 22:01:27 -0700 http://repo.jackmoves.com/v/erik/album53/album96/album129/album215/SANY0746.jpg.html http://repo.jackmoves.com/v/erik/album53/album96/album129/album215/SANY0746.jpg.html
See how nicely it looks here though. Perhaps sometime down the road Ill actualy have a nice looking mount made up out of aluminum. Oh as for the reason Ive looped 2 nipples on the manifold its bcause I used the other small nipples for the boost gauge and the FPR.]]> Erik M. photo Tue, 17 Jan 2006 22:01:27 -0700 http://repo.jackmoves.com/v/erik/album53/album96/album129/album215/SANY0744.jpg.html http://repo.jackmoves.com/v/erik/album53/album96/album129/album215/SANY0744.jpg.html
I had to ghetto rig my vaccum manifold back into place since Skunk2 removed my origional mounting point.]]> Erik M. photo Tue, 17 Jan 2006 22:01:27 -0700 http://repo.jackmoves.com/v/erik/album53/album96/album129/album215/SANY0742.jpg.html http://repo.jackmoves.com/v/erik/album53/album96/album129/album215/SANY0742.jpg.html
The PVC nipple has moved from underneath the old manifold to a convenient new location on top of the manifold.]]> Erik M. photo Tue, 17 Jan 2006 22:01:27 -0700 http://repo.jackmoves.com/v/erik/album53/album96/album129/album215/SANY0741.jpg.html http://repo.jackmoves.com/v/erik/album53/album96/album129/album215/SANY0741.jpg.html
Now you need to put all of the 12mm nuts back on. Torque them slightly over stock settings. I suggest about 20-25 ft lbs. Because of the hondata spacer and the casting of the manifold I was unable to put the top center nut back on as the threads wouldnt catch. I will later grind this a bit in order to get it to fit on there. Also here Ive started putting everything back together. PVC/catch can line, the valvecover breather, and fuel lines.]]> Erik M. photo Tue, 17 Jan 2006 22:01:26 -0700 http://repo.jackmoves.com/v/erik/album53/album96/album129/album215/SANY0740.jpg.html http://repo.jackmoves.com/v/erik/album53/album96/album129/album215/SANY0740.jpg.html
Then you can slide the new manifold into place. At this point I have already swapped over the various sensors and the fuel system from the old manifold. It should be pretty obvious. If you cant figure it out just by looking at the 2 then youre probably already in over your head and should seek out a professional to do this. Oh by the way you will need some #6 metric bolts to connect the fuel rail to the new manifold. The new manifold has no studs for the rail or for the throttle body either.]]> Erik M. photo Tue, 17 Jan 2006 22:01:26 -0700 http://repo.jackmoves.com/v/erik/album53/album96/album129/album215/SANY0739.jpg.html http://repo.jackmoves.com/v/erik/album53/album96/album129/album215/SANY0739.jpg.html
Here you can see that Ive put on the hondata gasket. Its natuarally bowd like that out of the package.]]> Erik M. photo Tue, 17 Jan 2006 22:01:26 -0700
