take out your i/c pump to get to the lower intake mani bolts

 

Is it easier than taking off the alternator?

 

well taking off the i/c pump is cake, never taken off the alternator

 

balts have to take the IC pump off anyways..
just take your time and make sure you get everything nice and tight.
and get an adel clamp to get the laminovas out, severely do not suggest a pair of pliers or anything like that.

plenty of info on how to do it

 

I read blowns 15 page thread last night,good info.

 

he did his own you don't want to follow that if it's the one im thinking of.
not GM dual pass.
if you get stuck or anything during it feel free to PM me.
hardest part is the hosing and that's just more annoying than hard.

 

you do not have to take the i/c pump off.. I took the alternator out and moved it aside to get the bottom bolt. and all you need is one of the screw type hose clamps to get the laminova's out..

Take your time and make sure everything is in correctly.

 

I have all the hoses ran already as i am running the option b tank right now.I have it set up so that after i install the dual pass endplate,all i have to do is add the other t-fitting and run one more hose.

 

You don't need to take the IC pump off. Just move the alternator aside. Honestly, the hardest part for me was getting the hoses ran where they would not kink.

 

Ok guys i have the s/c and intercooler pump off,my question is which to bolts do i take off,the 2 closest to the bottom of the manifold or the 2 closest to the pump?

 

there is only one for the manifold on the very bottom, i thought.... on the passanger side going from passanger to driver.

 

So there is only one bolt on the bottom?

 

far as I can remember... I thought there were 4 going to the head, 2 in the middle of the manifold, and one at the bottom.. someone chime in to see if I am remembering correctly.

 

You are correct. Only one holds the very bottom on under the mani that you can't really see. I just did mine last week. It's really preety easy.

 

^^ok.. I kinda of had to think about it after I posted becuase he said 2 bolts... well least we have some confirmation... thanks!

 

Why do people take off the IC pump? It is not necessary

 

yeah one bolt on the bottom, it's not necessary to put it back, i did just for ***** and giggles.
then theres 2 things holding the im into the head, you need an e-torx socket but if u don't have that just make sure you uninstall and reinstall those 2 SLOWLY. the others should be self explanatory.
theres also one by the dipstick i think, u need to disconnect the dipstick from SOMETHING i forget what, unsure if that's just the ions or both of us

 

I didn't get a chance to really look at your hoses, how did you get them so they wouldn't kink?

 

x2..
