Finally got around to putting my evoheatsheild spacer on...





My hired help got a little frisky with my dipstick tube and decided to yank it like a door handle, so I had to make a 2hr round trip to the dealer.


Hmm, a little dirty [>:]


outside we go for some cleaning


how your intake manifold should NOT look...


how your intake manifold SHOULD look


all clean and ready to be put back together


Was a little more work than I expected, but I got it done and a good experience none the less

 

Wonder what kinda difference it makes...

Perhaps log your IAT's?

 

Did you port match your spacer or was your on pretty good. I had to do some port matching on mine cause it didnt exactly line up but never the less a good product.

 

It matched pretty good but I ran it over with the dremel just to make sure

 

You paid someone to break your car....FUN. Can i do that next time?

WHat did you clean your manifold with?

 

lol, nah I didn't actually pay him. he was just there in my garage working on his car so I got him to help out a little.

I used carb cleaner to clean the manifold and something called Red Devil cleaner on the rest of the engine bay... worked excellent!

 

Figured, i was out of carb cleaner and used engine degreaser and it sucked. Should of just went out and got some.

 

how do you like the evoheatshield??

 

Well its hard to tell... when I went out to get something to eat today I opened the hood and felt the manifold, it still seemed extremely hot, I could only keep my hand on there for like a second or two. So I don't know

 

The manifold and the gasket should absorb any left over heat before going into the engine. Plus if you had a fmic, your pipes and manifold should be pretty cool already.
