I have unbolted every bolt and have disconnected everything that I can see yet the manifold refuses to come all the way off.. anyone have this problem any answers?

Max Capacity Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 It's not easy but I had mine off to install to new short block. Do you have the fuel ins off? I know it was hard to lift when I changed the o-rings, and when I had the engine out I remember it was easier but still a PITA. http://i185.photobucket.com/albums/x40/92Si/DSCN4748.jpg Make sure you tighten all the fuel line clamps under there. You may want to replace the o-rings at the TVG's too, there are a issue . 305,600miles 5/2012 ej257 short block, 8/2011 installed VF52 turbo, @20.8psi, 280whp, 300ftlbs. (SOLD).

jhawk222 Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 I'm just trying to remove the top black plastic part of the intake. I've removed all that I can see and so far mine won't budge. I must be missing something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Capacity Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 If you still have a problem, I beleive there is a bracket that holds the fuel lines to the plastic intake manifold. I found it easier to lift the manifold with the TGV's arttached. See pictures in my click here link. 305,600miles 5/2012 ej257 short block, 8/2011 installed VF52 turbo, @20.8psi, 280whp, 300ftlbs.

lgtvf52 Posted October 27, 2014 Author Share Posted October 27, 2014 This is definitely true ^ there is a little bracket underneath the plenum of the plastic intake held in by one bolt if I'm not mistaken and it's difficult to access. Tgv with mani is much easier! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
