Si@Fiske Posted May 23, 2007 Posted May 23, 2007 Hi ,I've just ordered my corolla intake manifold - woo cant wait.This may sound like a stupid question....do you keep the throttle body off the old manifold, or do you need another one to fit on the new inlent mani???For the pics ive seen it looks like you keep the old throttle body - can someone comfirm this pleaseThanks Quote
Jozinobi Posted May 23, 2007 Posted May 23, 2007 You use your existing 4efe throttlebody fishy If there is one on the new manifold it will have different sensors.We all use our original throttlebody with the corolla mani.Another thing you will need is a longer vacuum hose on the plenum.Joz Quote

Idrees Posted May 23, 2007 Posted May 23, 2007 Ebay, the one you need is really thin. I'd say about 3mm! Quote
keirz Posted May 23, 2007 Posted May 23, 2007 you dont actually need the longer hose. just un bolt the sensor it runs to from the fire wall and move it closer. there is another place just next to the mani on the fire wall that you can bolt the sensor too. it worked for me mate. Quote
Idrees Posted May 23, 2007 Posted May 23, 2007 I've heard that one before Keiren mate, but it didn't work like that on my brothers old one. Quote
keirz Posted May 23, 2007 Posted May 23, 2007 cant really understand why it wouldnt work??? all you are doing is changing the place the sensor is bolted too. maybe i should get a pic to show where i bolted mine. Quote
Si@Fiske Posted May 23, 2007 Author Posted May 23, 2007 please if possible mate, ill speak to rich as well as he is going to fit it...... Quote

whitestarlet Posted May 24, 2007 Posted May 24, 2007 i never needed longer vacuum pipe but if you do injector leak off pipe from a diesel engine should do the trick. you should be able to get it from most motorfactors. not that dear and probably in a metre length Quote
tr1cky Posted May 28, 2007 Posted May 28, 2007 wats a decent price for a corrolla mani, i got a price for 1 £100. fuk tha Quote
Jozinobi Posted May 28, 2007 Posted May 28, 2007 The going rate is £50 collected - £60 posted tricky.Joz Quote
tr1cky Posted May 28, 2007 Posted May 28, 2007 thats sounds a bit more right cheers mate, that £100 was without postage, i thought they were avin a laugh Quote
Jozinobi Posted May 28, 2007 Posted May 28, 2007 Give ttestarlet a message.He has sorted a few people out on here with one before.He might just have one and you would get it for £60 posted no probs.Joz Quote
ttestarlet Posted June 5, 2007 Posted June 5, 2007 i can still get more but if it was my car id use the 4efte manifold thats what came on my 100bhp ep85 4efe engine with a bigger throttle body! Quote
Si@Fiske Posted June 5, 2007 Author Posted June 5, 2007 mine was £57 delivered or something like that.... Quote
tr1cky Posted June 5, 2007 Posted June 5, 2007 do u know if u gotta play around with any wiring to fit the 4efte mani or is it just straight swap?cheers rich Quote
ttestarlet Posted June 5, 2007 Posted June 5, 2007 yeah u jus need to block up some holes, quite simple. not sure about wiring up the throttle body though. im gna try it on the sr wen i get home, ive got a manifold lyin ther and the yellow injectors and the pink ones. jus dont have a rrfp, might beable to borrow one, need someone with afr gear though to set it up acuratly Quote
Bourkey Posted June 6, 2007 Posted June 6, 2007 I also find painting it a nice touch aswell. Mine is done in mettallic black to match my car.Like so Quote
ttestarlet Posted June 6, 2007 Posted June 6, 2007 looks well mate, ive also got a eco tech valve, not sure if it does much though Quote
RobSR Posted June 6, 2007 Posted June 6, 2007 I also find painting it a nice touch aswell. Mine is done in mettallic black to match my car.That looks really smart, looks good with both the rolla mani, and cam cover painted aswell ! Quote
tr1cky Posted June 6, 2007 Posted June 6, 2007 I also find painting it a nice touch aswell. Mine is done in mettallic black to match my car.Like sothats the corrolla mani is it or the 4efte 1? Quote
tr1cky Posted June 6, 2007 Posted June 6, 2007 nice 1 mate, looks goodthink im gonna get a corrolla 1 then Quote
