HI there i was wondering how hard it is to install a Plenum spacer? is Skunk 2 a good brand? any insight would help out a lot.

 

its a medium level of installation, it would be hard for people who arent mechanically inclined.

 

motordyneengineering.com for the win

it's defininite a DIY

check the manual/instructions available on the link i gave you above

Very easy install, but don't get the skunk. Get the either of the two different sized ones (5/16" or 1/2") from www.motordyneengineering.com

 

ya, not that hard at all. i found a 6 pack makes it go even faster!

 

I went with Motordyne. Easy DIY, make sure you read instruction and don't over tighten!

 

its a DIY, but not an easy one, i just did it over the weekend.

put out a couple bowls for your bolts, phase and separate your bolt removals.

if you're installing the iso thermal, you'll get a spurt of coolant when you remove the hose.

its easier to disconnect hoses and remove the upper plenum completely from the engine bay than to lay it off to the side and slide the spacer in.

you don't need a torque wrench, inch pounds are a ridiculously low amount of torque to buy a wrench. just hand tighten.

the hose clamps that come with the spacer are INSANELY tight.

take it slow.

don't blow your engine up.

that's everything i woulda wanted to know.

 

motordyne..

 

thanks for the help. i am aslo wondering about a pop charger set up....

 

its tedious. there are alot of bolts, just take your time and dont miss any. make sure your gaskets are properly secured

 

Thanks for the help again there are no good shops here in Las Vegas!, i just ordered the 5/16" spacer and i throw it on as soon as it gets here. Now i am looking at a intake setup.

 

The biggest problem most people have with the plenum is overtorquing the bolts and breaking them. Be careful.

 

Thanks to all that helped with this post! i just installed my spacer yesterday and it sounds great!!!!! not a hard to do at all. again thanks for your help.

 

Good job man.

DIY FTW!!

 

I'd say make sure you use a Torque Wrench.
It's safer and easier that way.
Worth the expense !!
