Oh and looks much better than the last
intake pic you posted. lol

Edit: I think you'd want the MAP as close to
intake manifold as possible, if not in it.

so you guys map is that small? the l61 fits nice and snug on the lsj mani lol

and you sure? I figure as long as it reads the pressure its fine BUT! if it was the 2.5bar where it needs to read temps then yes it would need to be in the mani for the best readings..or am I wrong?

and thanks my black paint mix was not behaving, but yellow always treats me well

Exactly like it.
I believe its the most common
2 bar MAP GM uses.

lol wtf why couldn't the lsj be the same size....I thought about shimming it/like a sabot with a larger diameter hose fitted on the barb, but I would be too worried about it getting loose one day and then getting sucked up into the cylinder.


then plan c was to tap the hole and add a barb, but that wouldnt be any better then T'ing off the other line + I would need to remove the mani to tap it, and I dont want to break the gasket seal once more.

I read something on HPT, but I think
it was for the LNF's.
Said something about puting larger
diameter o-rings on it.

I'll look later to confirm.

[Bumblebee]

I was thinking about that too Randy, Im just concerned about it staying put...then again the barbs steps may keep them snug, let me know what you find out, thanks!

[Cherry GT]

Well Sir,
It was about LNF's but they were getting o-rings
that are the same inside diameter, but a larger
outside diameter. So the o-ring is just thicker.
I doubt it would come off the MAP.

[Bumblebee]

Right you are sir!!!^^^^

My tuner rocks, he has the orange spacer..woohoo


after I already cut gasket material and fab'd this up lol

[Cherry GT]

Good for you.
I didn't know what it looked like though.

[Bumblebee]

Pics pics pics!!!!

So close I can almost hear the whine! Im awaiting my tuner to text back whether or not he can tune the bee tomorrow, I just need to swing by the parts store for the radiator hose, and then put the bumper back on and headlights etc etc.






I needed to cut a little hole for the opt B hose, that was due to the custom solid fitting we made, next pic shows it.
