I got one and its already in my car...

Big thanks to Ken (desired_speeds) who did all the work from taking everything out to putting Type II in. Didn't take any pics yet but will post some as soon as I get home. (typing this from work.) Pics coming soon..

Sounds incredible, took my friend for a spin and he was surprised how it pulls at higher RPM's now..
On my way back home last night I rolled the windows down in the tunnel and punched the gas, what an awesome sound it makes now and definately feel the power at higher RPM. Now just waiting for the civic Short RAM to finish CAI..

 

Welcome to the Club!

 

Aw... No recognition!! I helped, and was the mediator!! Haha!

~Cheers~

 

^yea, I forgot that word at the moment when I was typing that... So yeah Arthur being the one who arranged everything, I just drove my car there and let them do it.. and He drove his car to get the pizza... I liked that pizza..

 

Thanks.. I took my car to work today. Loving that sound... I hope I won't blow anything. Pray for me..

 

You'll be fine since we didn't Mickey Mouse anything.

~Cheers~

P.S. Don't forget me sitting in your engine bay, lifting the mani out, haha!

 

the engine bay fit you like a glove.

ohh yah, run maybe 1/3 - 1/2 can of seafoam in there and change out the plugs. Throw the rest of the can into the gas tank, those injectors were pretty dirty.

 

Congrats.

But because this is Azine I have to do it...

 

i concur, and the title is deceiving... this is just the IM right?

 

Yes, just the IM. We still have smog considerations, unfortunately.

~Cheers~

 

hmmm i gotta give this a try too

 

Pics are up...

While installing...

Missing Type II badge. If anyone have one please let me know...



After I put the Legend engine covers on..

 

Yea I should have taken a pic but it was too dark and TOO FREAKING COLD. I am sick right now..

 

Sorry, something good happened here, just do not know what it is...

 

^ He got a new Type-II intake manifold.

~Cheers~

 

 

That looks sick!

Congrats!

 

Sense I am planing on doing this just a lil tight on money right now. I noticed that you moved some things compared to the old intake mani, there was a lil sensor on the top in the middle of the stock one where did you relocate that sensor or did you just take it off?

 

he had to relocate it when he put in the legend strut bar.

 

So here's the deal. When you swap intake manifolds, you have to swap the fuel injectors studs from the TL intake manifold. TL fuel rails will not fit on the legend studs. The legend manifold also needs an additional O-ring used as a spacer for the fuel injectors in the manifold. The TL has this extra spacer casted into the intake manifold from factory. This spacer is the O-ring lowest in the entire stack of fuel injector O-rings when you look in the Legend parts diagram. You SHOULD replace all of the injector O-rings and clean the build up off the injectors while you have everything apart. Do not risk putting old injector O rings back on if they have not been replaced recently because they can easily fall apart causing a fuel leak which could lead to a fire. I would highly recommend reserving a lot of time just for cleaning the intake manifold and intake ports in the heads. I was unfortunately unable to do a great job cleaning out the manifold before installing it onto Tony's car, but his manifold was not very dirty. Also, do not forget to take apart the EGR chamber and clean it out, including the pipe. It's a PITA to do it on the car with everything put back together. The Felpro intake manifold kit did not include a throttle body gasket, EGR camber gasket nor EGR pipe end gaskets. You must buy one of each separate, besides the EGR pipe gaskets which requires two. Felpro makes a throttle body gasket. I'm not sure if they make the EGR camber and pipe gaskets, but I would recommend getting these from the dealer. A gasket for the air suction pipe may also be needed depending on if you unbolted it or not. All 12mm bolts/nuts on the intake manifold should be torqued to 16 ft/lbs while all 10mm bolts/nuts should be torqued to 9 ft/lbs. There is no need to use any sort of silicon or sealant in addition to the paper or plastic gaskets.

 

Okay, Yeah i got my intake cleaned at a machine shop so thats all good. but now im starting to second guess doing this. I have no clue really how to Does any1 live near chico ca that could help me out???

 

Ask Ken if he can help you out but you gotta drive up to teh city... He knows what is he doing and there are few other helping hands too out there... If you guys letme know ahead of time I am down too..

 

Type II intake manifold. Its a nice addition to the mod list..

Thanks.

 

Now I get it....me slow...

 

any part # list ? of what to get

 

Revival of the Type II manifold!

 

Yeah that would be nice but i only have one car and work grave yards

 

I'll try to put together a parts list when I get the time. But FYI, I still have 1 Type II intake manifold avail if anyone is interested.

 

interested, PM me how much...

 

I wish I could do something like this to a 2.5

 

Its worth it undyroos.... Its worth it.......

 

what did you guys use to block off the pair pipe?

 

I dunno..Ken and Art did all that.

 

apparently we don't have a pair pipe so it's an even simpler DIY...

just got my type II intake manifold and front strut bar from ken's friend

cleaning the IM now...pics will be up later...

 

Undyroos you doing this mod tonight??

 

just cleaning the IM tonight. did as much as i could with some simple green and a toothbrush. i'll get some wire brushes and carb cleaner tomorrow and finish it off. right now i have a million little cuts on my fingers and knuckles from the sharp edges of the IM and simple green BURNS.

 

sweet.... Good luck with the install and waiting for some updated pics of your ride..

 

at what RPM do you feel a difference now? throughout the range or only in the upper rpms? describe the difference...

 

When you cleaned the intake ports did you just let all that crap fall into the runner? I'm guessing it gets burned up one way or another?

This is the diagram for a TL intake manifold. I need gaskets 2, 3, 5, 7, and 9?


This is the TL EGR valve. I need 2, 6, 8 (2 of them), and 9?


This is the Legend Fuel Injector diagram. I need 4 (6 of them)? They're called injector insulators. There were some stuck in the Type II IM, one was hard, I'm assuming that's the seal ring (#2 in the diagram), and the other was squishy, I'm assuming that is the insulator (#4)? Can you confirm?



Which one is the air suction pipe? I didn't see it in any of the TL or Legend diagrams.

Thanks Ken!

 

good job...post some videos
