i just tried it and it doesnt encase what you are saying the little box? Basically highlight it and click copy then go up to your message and put paste, but that doesnt make it a quote it only puts down what I pasted, not in highlighted form?

then you have to move quote tags to match the quote structure in a previous quote

Do they use a Mass Air Flow Sensor?? What year 4.3's came with this intake??

That's CPI out of 92-95 s-series. It uses a map sensor. It uses one inector with 6 poppet nozzles, so you'd have to weld in injector bosses and figure out placement, etc...

You can also use the buttons at the top of the reply box. It's alot easier.

I assume it'd be much easier to route the intercooler piping different or use an Edelbrock manifold conversion.

Re: A2A with different intake plenum!!

i have a KB big boy A2A, and the piping runs over the exhaust downpipe. just make a shield for the exhaust side of the turbo, or wrap your downpipe or your intercooler piping. you might wanna get a RPM A2A, but if you do, you will have to reclock your turbo.

BTW, i would like to see you start a thread on the things you've done to shave weight

You can do this...it will hurt your bank account though.

These intakes flow a lot better and more even than the stockers.

Very hard to fine.

Re: A2A with different intake plenum!!

I really appreciate the pics and thoughts john, but with my motor being basically stock that would probably be way overkill. Since I dont plan on taking the motor apart for a while I was trying to come up with a idea that was geared more towards a LOOK I wanted from the engine bay.
By the way how much will it hurt my bank account??

Re: A2A with different intake plenum!!

There are several ways to route A2A intercooler piping. Jer has an A2A that doesnt wrap around the back of the motor to hook up to the TB. Instead it turns from the outlet of the IC and goes under the radiator and back up next to the turbo and into the TB via an LS1 TB elbow. Jer, correct me if I am wrong on part of this.

Correct. :tup:

Re: A2A with different intake plenum!!

You don't have to reclock your turbo if your willing to get a little creative.. A guy over on the turbo buick site did this to his stock ty

Here's the link to his thread

Im not too into the whole ic pipe crossing over the radiator like the stock setup.. I'd def heat wrap that but if your going for the air2air setup without cutting away stock parts that's a good setup
