B16a3 intake manifold removal DIY
Got a del sol b16a3 turbo pushing 6psi (stock iternal safe), i got a skunk 2 70mm throttle body, but instead of getting the skunk 2 intake manifold i just wanna bore mine out to 70mm, i dont wanna waste money for a shop to take it out bore it then put it back in too much labor. I was wondering if anybody has a diy for taking out this engines intake manifold, help is much greatly appreciated

Re: B16a3 intake manifold removal DIY
It's very easy to do. Remove all sensor's (label them if necessary) remove coolant hoses to heater core. remove coolant hose's from water pipe to iacv, remove throttle body, remove all 12mm hex head nuts holding manifold to block.
That's it should come right off.
When reinstalling make sure to remove all of the old paper gasket material, I suggest getting a hondata or similar intake gasket. keeps the manifold a bit cooler and the gasket doesn't stick to mating surface's.
