I figured since I'm already having so many problems...I might as well.......

 

Still have to redo the ports and might have do do something with the throttle cable bracket....not sure if its even close to what it should be....

Hmm...I didn't know that...I'm also not sure what to do with the fuel rail yet...I'm using a aeromotive...Trying to find a T fitting for the rear...and not sure how I want to cap the factory hole yet...

Did you not get the black plastic fuel rail spacers? you'll need them...

 

grind down the factory regulator boss flush and drill/tap it for a 1/8" NPT pipe plug . Then drill/tap the capped end for a return line.

 

Use a metric-to-AN banjo fitting, or drill/tap for a 90* AN fitting.

I made my own gaskets for the upper plenum and TB, you can find DIY gasket material at some auto parts stores.

 

Definately move the water neck to clear the intake, mine is about 1/4" or so away from the radiator hose, and I think some heat is absorbed from that when idling at least.

My injector bosses on my OG magna fuel rail leaked so bad and finding a replacement was next to impossible I found one of these on ebay. The ends are 6AN on both sides and no regulator hole to plug.

Well...I got my stock intake off today...My intake valves look HORRIBLE.....#4 is way worse than the others but they have alot of build up on them....Anything I should do while I can see them...without pulling the head...?

I put mine on the #4 runner because that is where the stock hose went, that way you don't need to buy a new hose.

 

Functionaly speaking, you can put it anywhere after the throttle body adn before any injector (like the plenum).

Thanks....This aluminum sux....My taps are coming out pretty messy....I'll be able to get them to seal but damn....Its odd to me...real coarse or something...I finished it today...Now I've got to get the fuel setup and finish the wiring.....I'm still not sure what to do on the intake gasket also. I bought one for the tbi manifold and that rear water port is too tall for the magna...Does any one have a link to some info I could look at?

You need to fill that port in and re-sise it to US spec. Either that or make an adapter plate that can sndwich between the head and intake, but that will then require both US and aussie gaskets.

 

Are you using lube on your taps when you cut the threads?

ARRG....I keep finding things that I didn't do...lol...I guess this is why people don't mod them themselves....I didn't do anything for the dip stick...My throttle cable braket I made..the notch is way to big....I ended up just cutting the water neck and angling it more perpendicular to the radiator...

 

But I think I got my computer figured out at the Megameet....So if I would have stayed TBI I'd prolly be running...who knows now.....

Don't get frustrated you are doing ok. This is your first go at it, you are bound to have a few problems. Sit back look at your problems and come up with something to fix them. Or I can get a bunch of pictres of my MPI car and the other MPI manifold we have. If that will help you.

If you need some specifics let me know. The top one has the stock dipstick in there, with some bending of the bolt tab. It bolts to the intake.
