First a shout out to Jonathan (SoundJunky) for lending me this intake manifold so I can do this work to it!

Well tonight I finished my intake manifold I have tons of pics but none of my friends could guess what I did to it so as soon as somebody guesses I'll post the progression!

Well here you go what do you guys think??

It turned out nice. I did something similar.

KMO43

Thanks! ya you did the same. I was hoping to be the first cause I've never seen it before but I guess not

its missing the part where you mount the bpv solenoid

Slowbalt2000

iTrader: (1)

Yeah you shaved some parts off of it

Removed non essential mounting locations. Can't tell you're set up for a 5th injector or if you just changed it to an NPT thread for a hose barb for the vacuum line connection

You got rid of all those ports on the left side of the manifold.

Removing the solenoid from the manifold and relocating it wouldnt be a bad idea actually

KMO43

Yup I cut and shaved all the tabs that aren't used off I'll post the pics soon

When I do these I relocate things underneath the manifold

Kmo where are you going to relocate the solenoid i would love to get rid of it from plain sight

KMO43

I'm gonna look into getting rid of it completely or throw it underneath the manifold I'm deleting my vacuum canister when I throw my ported head on I have it bypassed right now

Lol i took out my canister long ago. let know what you do im really interested in tucking the vaccum lines as well

As stated weld bungs on the manifold relocate it.For the vacuum lines you weldthew holes shut and grind then smooth. Drill and tap for bungs underneath the manifold

That looks clean man. Deff want that done to mine.

KMO43

Thanks I can't wait to get it on the car!!

Devin86

How long does it take to grind all those down lol?? It looks so much cleaner that way!! Gj

KMO43

I used a die grinder but if I had a cutting disc for my angle grinder it wouldn't take much time at all. But I sanded the whole thing because I wanted a smooth look sandblasting painting and it's ported. I've probably got over 10 hours easy into it

Or get rid of it like I did.
You do not need it at all; even if you keep the OEM BPV. It will operate from direct vacuum.

-You need to remove two codes that pop from removing the solenoid.
-Delete the vacuum canister and remove it.
-Remove the vacuum barb from the lower charge pipe. (stock pipe needs a silcone cap glued onto it. Aftermarket pipes need a 1/8 NPT plug).
-Remove the solenoid and the tubing.
-Run the BPV or BOV directly to the vacuum port on the IM.
-Tuck the electrical connector under the rad support

Thats not a bad idea either would only have to get the codes turned off tho with my tuner thats like 1hr away lol
