I'm using instructions online on installing a skunk2 manifold and i just want to double check to see if this looks correct or not because I'm not supposed to use the brown spacers between the studs/fuel rail.





also want to double check the red circle is that where the air temp sensor goes?

 

cool i stripped one of the bolts on the air temp sensor.....so how can i take it off now? >_<

On your stock mani? Grab it with a pair of vicegrips, they're hella easy to get then.

cool thanks !

 

if that doesn't work, cut a slot in it with a dremel or a hacksaw, and use a big flathead to screw it out. do you have any pb blaster?

it worked.

anyone know about the fuel rail if its put on correct?

 

looks right. get a better side shot of the mani. if there is no gap between the rail and manifold where it nuts down then it is good to go.

 

great news guys i stripped the bolt since that mother ***** didn't want to come out. anyone know how i can take the bolt out where the arrow is? thats the only thing stopping the manifold from coming out of its place.

there gap only on 2 of the studs where the fuel rail bolts down, but the fuel injectors are in its place...

 

bump because i hate stock manifold.

 

Maybe you should check your headlight fluid...
It seems low...

yeah you should also check your blinker fluid because there might be too much in there and your blinkers are probably blinking faster then they should you stupid ricer.

 

do you use the stock fuel cable holder with that manifold?

Unbolt the bracket from the block if it's stuck on the stock mani,
I don't even have that brace on my manifold anymore, it's fine.

 

i drilled the stripped bolt out i been scraping the old manifold gasket off for over 20 minutes. -_-

 

bottom is my ITR throttle body. Anyone know if i need any of the hoses from the stock gsr throttle body above?

 

wow, you just jumped right into this didn't you? I hope you don't have any CEL's when you finish that generally come with installing skunk 2 IM . good luck.

I finished. No CEL's.

good job . I see so many of these threads that say "installed skunk 2 IM and now a CEL".

yeah people get the sensor wires mixed up because 3 of the plugs look the same in the back of the manifold.

 

I'll be doing this in a few weeks

Once I get ahold of another throttle pully and spring, I'm set!

Though, I won't have a tune for a while yet.
