you should install a 56mm tbody from the quad 4. Its a bit bigger than the stock Twin Cam tbody 52mm. Sorry but get it pro painted, smooth out the bumps and then paint it. Im still waiting on my HO intake manifold from mantapart then tommorrow i will stop at the bone yard to install the bigger 56mm 2.3 Quad 4 tbody.

the bigger tb comes later, ive had this layin around for a month or so and barely got around too it. As for professional painting I could care less cuz it looks better in person then that pic. Ill post the pics up of the install in the morning. Next is secret cams, header to 2.5 piping w/o resonator to magnaflow camaro dual tip muffler...then body kit lol and im done with this ho.

BIG PROBLEM

All the connections on the tb wont reach now that I put the 2.3 mani on. It went on with no easE, but eff, nothin is reachin it, someone help me out ASAP

you have to route them from where they come out main harness by the fuel lines and then down under the manifold to the TB

oh alright I get it. just need to cut some wires and move em around. Oh another question theres a big metal pipe that runs to the tb, I think its for the cruise control, where would u leave it out since the HO manifold doesnt have it?

Another problem I got everything hooked up, it starts up good then struggles, it sounds like a damn hotrod, u think maybe I got some vacuum lines mixed up?

Spilner521 · 06-01-2007, 06:31 PM

Which vacuum port are you using for the MAP sensor?

New problem-
I put my old 2.4 manifold and tb back on because the 2.3 HO manifold had some fitting problems so Ill be doin it once I get the part, but

as for now my idle returned to normal n all, but everytime I put it in drive it shifts hard and same when im drivin, its pretty weird cuz I was just messin with the intake manifold and tb. I think it has to do with the IAT cuz it affects tranny patterns as well. Someone help me out please.
