My truck just took a HUGE $HIT

Subscribed. Nice work!

Thx bro. Might as well turn this blue pos into what I did with the red one and hook my buddy up with it.

How much time did you have in it?

 

[ODAWG714]

2hours not including the machinest to machine everything.
Another thing is matt@gearhead tweaked my tune for the modded intake and holly $hit did that make a difference

 

[ODAWG714]

The 2 hours I spent include cutting it open and sand blasting and porting the holes and tapping the top for the plugs. Machinest was 6-8 hours I believe and charged me around 200$. I have under 600 into this one

 

[Stroker04]

Nice. I wonder what he changed in the tuning?

 

[ODAWG714]

Idk but all I can say is that man can tune a truck! Him and Chris are by far the best I've ran out of everyone else and are the only 2 that can make a pmax run lag free

I used Teflon tape and arp thread sealer rated at 10,000psi

A better way would be to get o-ring boss bungs and over size your existing 14 holes made weld the bungs in and get 14 o-ring boss plugs. Use the OEM 2 rear bolts. I have my bolts sitting on the floor of the intake. I used 6x1.00 thread by 35 long and they were perfect with a 8mm head

Thats pretty much what I've got, same bolts too. I wasn't sure about the orb plugs because i have a habit of screwing up and cutting the o-rings. Where did you get the arp thread sealer at?

A local race shop it was like 9bucks. I wrapped the plugs like 4-5 times with Teflon and used the thread sealer on top of it. It's a non drying sealer. Works pretty good but it's gooey

Thanks man ill see if i can find some

 

[ODAWG714]

Ill snap a pic of it when I get done grubbing

Since you guys used 6x1x35 allen heads? are you afraid or one coming lose and well you no the rest

what did you guys use thread lock lock washer ??? thanks again for all your good input

 

[ODAWG714]

I used a 8mm head non Allen. The oem gasket has rubber that puts pressure on the bolt, plus torquing helps too lol

 

[05wh250]

My bolts are 6 point with a flange. Came straight from arp. I'll probably use a little loc tite for safe measure but probably not needed

how do I add a picture to this post sorry computer hate me lol

 

[05wh250]

The bolts are arp $58 for 3 packs of 5. The intake a machinist did, couldn't get him to cut it open like you did, he drilled out the posts cut and gutted the egr out and welded in bungs on top for the plugs

Leave the back alone if you machine the rear posts it will be very thin. Machine the floor flat and port the top 1/3 down and till the 2 ports are a 1/16 from each other. That's what I did. The lower 2/3 of the port I didn't open up just the top 1/3

Looks great now U gotta being that thing to Irwindale so we can go toe to toe!!

Bam! I concur!
Hey Oliver let's see what your pmax/headers/manifold has against my mtw stage 1. I'll see if I can borrow a gopro so we can film it.

Im definitely jealous of that intake! Do you think you'll be able to do all the same things to that blue one or did "monkey nuts" mod it in a way that will make certain things hard to duplicate?
