NOTE>

use ear protection when using the BOOTY FAB.....my ears are still ringing about an hour later....no bueno.

 

test

hey, it worked

 

ok, so i was seeing if i could send a video from my phone, to youtube and then post it up...and it worked....i took it down, because it was video of our cat looking around....

Well that's cool...well not about the part of the cat looking around. The youtube phone thing is what I mean.

 

Man you are so close to being finished, just wrap it up & hit the key already, LOL

 

hahaha

was out there looking....looks like all the electrical connections / sensors are as they should be....want to get a better look from in the passenger's wheelwell though....then i will bolt up the lower intake...probably later today...then fart around with the injectors.

 

Quit fartin around and just do it!!! come on now!!!! You could have it buttoned up and running today...

 

I feel like it's christmas eve!

 

Booty fab looking good, again, very resourceful.
Glad you figured out the posting of video.

 

mental note always move gas cans away from work area when using booty fab

 

hahahaha

good eye on that.


i did....a little...because i had to sit my butt on the floor right there.

 

Well at least you sat next to them and not on them...

 

true...true

 

this is one of the plugs that i did not remember plugging back in and i could not see it from above.....so i peeked through the side and there it was. i remembered ROGERMAN also missing this and i can understand why. it is hidden pretty well.

had to plug and unplug a few times to be sure i had it right because i was doing it blindly and by feel.



so then i cleaned up the mating surfaces for the lower intake.....scraper and the acetone.

i think i'm ready to bolt this on........objections??

 

Do it!!! Do it!!!

 

PROBLEM

well kinda.


when i put the EGR valve back on like i was supposed to, (page EM30 of the FSM for you playing along at home)....it said to put it on....not wait until the intake gasket was on. the gasket i have is meant to be put on BEFORE the EGR.......no biggie to me, i did use RTV there so i am just going to trim that part off and away.

 

FWIW, I would pull the EGR back off & put it on with the intake gasket. The exhaust gases circulating thru the EGR are very hot & I am not sure that the RTV will hold up very long. Just use the gasket dry. Also take my advise as you will but not as the last word. I put my intake & EGR on with a dry gasket & have no problem so far.

 

whoops..too late.

following the FSM...that's the funny part.....grrrrr

 

OK it's on (the lower part)...not torqued but this little coolant pipe is kicking my ass.

can't get one screw to thread.
