Hey guys just spent 1hr trying to find a "How to remove intake manifold" thread but to no avail. Does one even exist? Planning to take off my intake manifold to have it ported. Thanks guys!!

 

Anyone?

 

I haven't seen one myself on the forum, but i would just take my time and start disassembling it myself. Juts don't rush it and pay attention to what you doing. Do some more searching and maybe you will find a couple tips or tricks that may help.
Good luck with the project

 

thanks man! I will try looking some more

 

You can find the manual and look for the intake manifold assembly. From there just figure out which bolts need to be taken off. It's pretty simple, but make sure you don't strip the bolts in the back of the IM because it's a pain getting back there. The operation is straight forward and you shouldn't have no problems getting it out.

 

also i think lancershop has a install help thing. so look on there maybe they got something

 

It's pretty straight forward... just don't forget the dipstick bolt/four bolts on the support bracket under the IM... take the sensors off that support brace BEFORE you loosen the four 14mm bolts though.

 

^word, and DONT put that brace back on when u re-install the mainfold. it will make your life way easier

 

Do i need to release the fuel pressure by uncliping the fuel harness in the back seats? Or drain the coolant?

 

no, ull loose a little bit of fuel thats in the rail and the coolant thats in the line of the TB, just let it go into a rag

 

Hope this helps.

 

Wow thanks! Ill check this out

 

pretty simple start off by removing the fuel rail and injecotors and just disconnect all vacuum lines and sensors and start removing all the bolts that connect the manifold to the cylinder head.

how long would it take to remove the intake manifold ?
