How hard is it and what is the easiest way to do it?

 

1-10 its a 6-7 if you havnt done it before...
disconnect the batery! then, take the belt off, sc off, fuel rail off, intake off the sc, gasket off, alternator off, then intake mani comes off...on the intake mani: take off the end plate, remove laminova cores and when u put em back in make sure they are facing the right way...

 

just tedious...lots of things come off. its not necessarily hard though

 

Do the cores come easily out of the manifold with pliers or something?

 

yea their not hard to remove....just gotta get to em through all the other crap in the way

 

I thought you could get to the bolt without removing the alternator but the more I hear removal is required any other thoughts.

 

ull save a lot of time and headache if you just remove it...

 

You can get the lower intake mani bracket bolt off by removing the IC pump and going from the bottom as well. However the space is kinda tight, so removing the alternator might just be easier. Just another option lol.

 

Thanks guys dual pass and option b will get here tomorrow want to have it torn down before it gets here.

 

Damn that stupid lower intake manifold bolt. Taking off everything else is a breeze except for that lower bolt. I hate it!

 

lol yeah I will find out how much of a pain it is tonight I installed the ZZP stage 3 kit with the stage 3 heat exchanger so this should be too much more difficult. I hope anyways.

 

you dont need to remove the injetors

 

It was a much bigger pain in the ass then installing my heat exchanger. But it was my first time. I'm sure next time will go smoother

 

An hour later the surcharges and intake are out and the laminova cores switched it was a lot easier than I thought and pulling the alternate made it a whole lot better.

 

there ya go!!!

 

when i had my sc.....if that bolt had been alive i would have shot it in the face!!!!

 

Yeah now all I have to do is wait for the parts they should be at my house when I get off then I will get everything put back together shouldnt take that long. I have a feeling what is going to take the longest is going to be re-routing the hoses which I will do after the intake is in and before I put the supercharger back on that and Im cleaning out the throttle body and supercharger intlet and well and the intake ports on the head there is a lot of oil build up from before I added the catch can.

 

 

As I thought The hose routing was the most difficult part. Task for tonight is to get the supercharger and throttlebody mounted back up.

 

Routing is super easy when you have a diagram. Hope this helps
