not that hard you just stick your hand down there and you'll feel it, then leave your hand on it and take the socket down there to it, kinda like the first time you get laid

 

? i don't know about you but i have a bolt and not a socket... lmao

 

Ok still unsure how to get this god damn intake manifold off. Still can't figure it out. Does anyone have pics at all?

it's not rocket science, take off the visible bolts, take the bottom bolt off, take the two nuts off of the threaded rods, take off the threaded rods, etorx 7 iirc

 

hard to make it any simpler than that bud

 

Thank you TennPenn, that is going to help a lot. Should I remove the intercooler pump and bracket as well?

 

there is really no need. i hate to be rude but you are seriously making this harder than it needs to be.

if you want to remove the ic pump and bracket, you can, but it's not going to help any in getting to the bolt from the top. this would really only help if you were going up from under the car, which, if given a choice, i go from the top

 

rofl

 

Ok thanks. I'll take another stab at it now. It's a 15mm bolt right

 

here comes the airplane, open your mouth like a good boy here it comes brrrrr brrrrr














































go out with a socket set and try it till you're done damn

 

 

for real lol it's only been already mentioned in the thread like 3 times now jeeze

 

Ok I finally got it off. Thank you very much for the help. I didn't realize this bolt when in perpendicular to the other bolts. I kept trying to remove the two bolts that hold on that little piece.

 

So this is how my intake looks when I took it off. It is different than the one pictured on the how to.

 

might wanna check the o ring on the second core from the top

 

you didnt touch those cores at all? because the way those are arranged wont work for single or dual pass.

 

Yeah there should be two of them with holes in them and two without

 

lol wtf

 

Yeah first time I've seen the cores in that manifold. Could be why I'm having some cooling issues. Good thing I'm taking this apart. So in two outputs from the endplate should go to the what???

 

you buy this used? looks like someone had been in there b4 you.

 

Yeah bought it used for my supercharger build. I'm gonna rearrange the cores according to the diagram on ccf. Also can someone tell me if this is correct for my plumbing setup. The outer lines of the endplate go to a Y then to the filler neck, then the filler neck flows to the heat exchanger input and somewhere in that line put a T fitting for my option B tank. Then the heat exchanger flows to the pump then pump to the single input of the endplate. That correct?

 

Also what should these cores smell like? They smell like oil.
