Write ups (plenum)
 

Anyone know of a good plenum install write up? Having some trouble finding one.

And perhaps we could have a sticky with some write up websites.

you don't need one...

take off old one

put new one on the same way old one came off...

make sure that the gasket is 100% intac

It is such an easy swap, I don't think you will find a write-up. But, I understand if you are a bit nervous. It is normal if these things are new to you.

There are a few tricks, but essentially, you just need to remove all hoses and connections, pull the intake out of the way, remove the IAC, remove the TPS, remove the bolts, and lift it out. Then, just install the new one the same way.

1 - Removing the stock TPS (Throttle Position Sensor) can be a pain in the ass. In fact, I just bought a new TPS - LOL. You need an impact drill to pull the old one off and they can get damaged removing.

2 - Swap out the TB (throttle body at the same time). Get a BBK 70 mm one if you are staying n/a. They are cheap and it is simple to install when replacing the plenum. It will save you work later if you decide to swap it anway.

3 - Before you install the new plenum, attach the the new TB and the TPS to it before installing on the car.

4 - When installing the IAC (Idle Air Controller) back to the plenum, make sure you have the gasket aligned correctly.

5 - When you have the plenum removed, keep the area clean. You don't want to drop anything into the motor.

If you need some guidance, I can give you my cell phone number and you can call me while you are doing it. I can walk you through it over a few calls. I could do the swap in about 30 minutes, so long as the TPS does not pose a problem. But, give yourself about 90 minutes for an amateur. You will be proud of yourself when you are done.

nice thanks for the info dude

will most likely be doing the swap this weekend
