Josh@TunerLifestyle Posted April 10, 2012 Posted April 10, 2012 im replacing my inlet manifold today with my mirror polished one just thought id whip up a thread before i start as i have never taken one off before!is it straight forward enough? anything i need to watch out for? can i do it all from the top or do i need access underneath the car?any info will be great guys cheers!josh Quote
micky boy Posted April 10, 2012 Posted April 10, 2012 Theres a bracket at the back of the inlet you will need to get under the car to get that off other then that everything can be done at the top off the car.Theres 2 vacuum hoses that go into the back of the inlet just make sure you put a sticker on what pipe go's where as its quite easy to get them mixed up other then that its prity stright forward Quote
Josh@TunerLifestyle Posted April 10, 2012 Author Posted April 10, 2012 cheers will have a go is there no way i could do it all from the top? im quiet small with small arms and can get into tight places lol Quote
ryan lang Posted April 10, 2012 Posted April 10, 2012 you can get to it from the top i thought the heardest part was removing the wiring loom from the bracket! lolbut if your going to be using the bottom bracket again then i would worry to much about taking the loom off lol Quote
LukeSR Posted April 10, 2012 Posted April 10, 2012 The bottom bracket was a right **** on my SR lol Quote
Azz Posted April 10, 2012 Posted April 10, 2012 I have this all to come in the next few weeks, so thanks for the thread lol Quote
Steve GT Posted April 10, 2012 Posted April 10, 2012 Brackets are annoying at the back and the bottom bolts of the inlet are a real squeeze to get to. Deffo not straight forward but not impossible Quote
m11xky Posted April 10, 2012 Posted April 10, 2012 I did this on my GLS, its pretty straight forward but takes patience.Gotta loosen fuel rail bolts too.Changing my glanza mani for my matt black one soon...few more hoses etc on the glanza tho Mike Quote
ryan lang Posted April 10, 2012 Posted April 10, 2012 can be done without removing the fuel rail josh Quote

Josh@TunerLifestyle Posted April 10, 2012 Author Posted April 10, 2012 can be done without removing the fuel rail josh im changing the fuel rail too I hope your fitting one of these too http://www.race-tech...&products_id=74i wish! no pennys lol Quote
ryan lang Posted April 10, 2012 Posted April 10, 2012 fair enough then fella undo your fuel cap to release any pressure before undoing the fuel rail pipes Quote
siren676 Posted April 10, 2012 Posted April 10, 2012 If its the standard 4e manifold it'll be a piece of piss to get out.Ive got the 5efhe acis manifold on mine and it was a complete bitch to get in and access all the bolts Quote
Josh@TunerLifestyle Posted April 10, 2012 Author Posted April 10, 2012 its off wasnt too hard, just worried about it going back on Quote
shorty Posted April 10, 2012 Posted April 10, 2012 Lol was exactly what i thought. hes been posting links in any thread thats even mildly rellevant to a product of race tech. haha. Quote
ryan lang Posted April 10, 2012 Posted April 10, 2012 josh, just be careful with the injector seals going back in. be gentle and twist them back and fore instead of trying to push them straight in Quote
