Tools needed:
-rachet
-10mm socket
-extension for socket

Parts needed:
-Vulcan turbo manifold
-Throttle body gasket(use exhaust gasket maker)
-shorter bolts for the head(1/2" shorter)*
-shorter bolts for the throttle body**
-wire loom
-electrical tape
-1/2" heater hose ~2ft
-1/2" dual barb adapter
-hose clamps


*if you dont have shorter bolts u can use a but and run the bolt thru the nut, and the nut can take up the extra space
**i recommend you take the manifold to a parts store, and get some studs and nuts for it, run studs thru them, and tighten the TB down with nuts instead of the stock bolts

Here's a pic of what i started with:

Step one:
Remove the the Stock Manifold, there is a how to on this already

Step two:
undo the wire loom on the stock TB wires and the MAF, both join into the same bigger loom, undo that one too, keep undo'ing the loom and electrical tape until you have enough slack to move the harness to the opposite side of the car, there is enough room, took me less than 5 mins to do this, than when your done, re loom it and tape it

Step three:
transfer over all the gasket rings from the old manifold over to the new one

be careful not to tear the damn things, as you can see, i kinda tore one lol

Step four:
Install the new intake manifold, bolt it down

Step five:
-brake booster
extend the brake booster hose, use the dual barb fitting to join the stock hose to the heater hose, once you do that, clamp it, than run it to the 1/2 nipple on the manifold, once you do that, cut off excess slack, and connect to it, clamp it down, and thats done
-MAP sensor
take the MAP out of the stock manifold, take off that orange gasket thing that goes around it, and than connect a line to another nipple on the manifold, and run it into the nipple on the MAP, clamp it down, and MAP is done

-2 other nipples: those i would recommend to be for a BOV and a BOOST gauge
-EVAP canister: i recommend to not connect it to the manifold, this lets off fumes from the gas tank, just throw a hose on it and route it to face the ground below it

Step six:
connect the Throttle body to the manifold, and tighten it down, make sure to put the gasket in, and tighten that thing down, connect the TB harness and you should look like this


Step seven:
Run you intake how ever you want to run it, i use my injen intake on this test set up, but its up to you where you go from here

Lastly, use how to at ur own discretion

**car is to sensitive, will not un untuned**

 

Bump as it was just approved

 

nice how much was the manifold?

 

550, ottp has it on their site I believe

 

Thanks for the effort, pictures, and info!

I can't believe you installed the intake with a torn seal -- that will not seal properly. You did replace it didn't you???? And why can't the people that make intakes for the 2.2/2.4 have the throttle body on the other side????? You have to do more fabrication to put the intake/filter on the driver's side!!! If the TB was on the other side you would not need a sharp 90 degree -- in fact the air tube could shoot straight into the TB!!!

 

Look closely, the manifold sits directly at level with the radiator hose, you can, just need to fab urself a new hose

 

Probably make it work with the LSJ hose since it goes around the SC.

 

Did yours come with the brass vacuum nipples attached, or did you have to get them yourself?

 

Vulcan includes them, they are ntp so tighten them a bit after it gets hard and ur set, the thing u need to get urself are the shorter bolts for the tb, and use nuts to make up the slack on the head bolts, ps flange is aluminum will strip if your not careful

 

Mine only came with the brake booster...sucks.

 

hmm that bites I'm sure they cheap at a hardware store

 

thats sick man! i am sure u heard ab wat i did 2 my car ... but its ok... i just bought an 87 supra turbo

 

Link I didn't see what happens no more laptop so I stay in the 2.2 section only since I'm on iPhone

 

how much did this set up cost and how much power did it add

 

i almost want to say it looks like you could run an LSJ intake if you wanted to stay NA.

 

yes the lsj intake might work, but i dont have one instock hahaaahaha, so i wouldnt be able to try
