Installing the ported intake

Not going well so far. I got the intake on but something is not right, it may be because the IMRCs for a 96 are very much different than any other year. I have never seen another set like this; they are elecronically monitored from the looks of things, and I installed a set off of a 93-95. She doesn't want to run right at all, and has thrown a MIL. More pics and updates later. I am not posting the pics due to their large size, use the links on the ftp.

RE: Installing the ported intake

No, the IMRCs are the same, but the actuator is different. You can port the IMRCs for any year 93-96, but if you want form fit function you must use the butterfly assembly from a 96. I thought perhaps I could just use the actuator, but as it turns out, the shaft is different as well. The aluminum castings are the same, though.

Also, the codes I am throwing are Cyl 8 misfire and Bank one lean, so I think I have an injector problem.

Problem seems to be fixed now, but she idles low enough to vibrate a bit. Feels strong, but it's raining right now. Pics and further updates later.

Nope, I dont think its causing any problems. As it turns out, the TB gasket was misaligned. Unmetered air owns me http://www.columbusracing.com/ubb/rolleyes.gif. The car feels much lighter on its toes now. I think this was a worthwhile mod. So anyway, found my camera, here are the pics:

Let me hear the opinions.
 
RE: Installing the ported intake

I told you that black would look good, and that unmetered air is bad for you. That is why i jsut use RTV on the TB anymore. That and the price replacing those gaskets a hundred times.

I bet your idle is a lot like mine now. When the AC is on it dips a bit. The high end is where your newfound power is, up aroud 5500+
That mod might put you a hair faster than me now, until Iget the gears...
