How hard is it to remove the old intake manifold? It is a plastic piece that has a crack right near the place the gas cable goes to the throttle body. Are there any manifolds that are better than stock but not for turbo. Mine has a crack in it and I wanted to replace it but the only place I can find it is from the dealer. o.o Anyone know if i can fix the old one or a place a can get a used one for cheap or get a better one?

 

removing the stock intake manifold isnt hard and can be done in a short time. as far as a new manifold WR was making one but didnt have much luck so i think your stuck w/ the dealer unless you want to go with ITB's

 

ITB's?

 

individual throttle bodies...would be quite a pain in the ___ with the electronic throttle

 

I don't know what dealer cost is, but http://www.car-part.com has them for $150. There are also a couple yards to call for pricing.

Good luck.

 

they are mostly yards from far away and I dun think the dealer price is much more than that O.O

 

good luck trying to find such a new car in the yards. Ive been looking for an 03+ celica so I can bum the injectors for a while now. Anyways, how did you crack the manifold? Its a very strong plastic which is strong enough for even fairly high boost.

 

hehe another car decided it liked the front end of this car more than the xb did. Anyone have one they took off their car when they added a turbo or whatever?

 

i just happened to stop by discount auto parts and it said they carry all oem parts for most newer cars. I went in and asked about the intake manifold and they pointed me to cold air intakes X.x and then exhaust manifolds X.X I told them that it was neither and it baffled them.

 

LMAO. Well those guys arent the most knowledgable.

Discount Auto Parts job interview:

Manager: Do you like cars?
PE: yes
Manager: Youre hired.

Similar to the Walmart Greeters interview:

Manager: Say "Hi" and smile.
PE: (smiles) Hi, welcome to Walmart
Manager: youre hired.

 

the xb has a cable for the trottle body motorfx is making a kit and has had them on a xa for a little while now

 

talk to any of the guys with a blitz or greddy supercharger...the intake manifold needs to be removed to install the blower

PartzNet...works only on Internet Explorer

They sell genuine new Toyota (also Nissan and others) parts. Rather cheap at $106.92 before shipping.

 

Dude. I love you Keitaro! I will still see if anyone has a used one for cheaper since there is still alot of other parts I have to replace.

 

Anyone have one of these babies laying around after adding their supercharger? Sell it to me cheap!

 

A little bit of reading for you Paradox.

When I replace the intake manifold do I need to also go buy new gaskets for it?
