- Start date
that's good cause i'm not helping you with your hose
That's probably good because Hulk obviously thought it was bigger than it really was.
works wonders every time.. also works great on o-rings too

Sounds like you are really really close, maybe tomorrow you can hear it run?
for hard to get on hoses I typically use windex since it drys up quickly... but the dish soap you are using should get it slippery enough...
don't know what to tell ya.

Definitely more powerful off the line. I've only put 3 miles on it so far.
Congratulations Matt!
Excellent job Matt
Next you will want a snorkel to provide more air and cooler air
and it's an idiot magnet.
You will find the air filter won't get as dirty and you can change them less often
My crank bolt loosened up. Hope you had the right torque wrench.
If over the next few weeks, your oil pressure drops and your power steering gets squirrely, you will need to tighten up.
Dont ask me how I know about that

Good for you Matt:
Take it easy while the computer learns the new demand on the air side. Over the years, I have seen more than a couple of melted engines due to guys going wild with the right foot after getting one of these on. Take it slow and easy for the first 4-500 miles. Only push it hard in a controlled manor and if you hear pinging, back off.

Ah, thanks -- good to know. I only have 3 miles on it so far. We had friends over for dinner last night, so I had to stop messing with it.
Here's the "after" photo.
It was interesting that some of the things that I was worried about were relatively easy, like the crank bolt removal and re-torquing to 305 ft-lbs. Other things were much more of a PITA, like lengthening the TPS and IAC harness wires, swapping the radiator (not required), and getting the 3" hose over the MAF sensor housing.
I'm glad I bought a serpentine belt tool. I ended up grinding off about 0.25" of the socket so it would clear the fan clutch. Once done, the serpentine belt install was very easy.
I'm glad to have my 80 back. I drove the 40 to work everyday for 2 months.
