BMC intake install pics and thoughts...

Bluto · 08-09-2001, 07:32 PM

Well I am still missing the damn glue but everything else is done. W/o the glue I know I may flag a check engine light but that will be fixed tomorrow, and it did not happen during the first drive.

Install I am a novice, but had a guy who was pretty exp helping me. It took 2hrs tops. the only hard part was leading the hose through the bumper. I did not take the wheel off for this, but still think I got good placement (I did loosen the wheel well cover to get a better handle on the hose).

First drive, seemed smoother, but it was 89 degrees, adn as the pic will show, the box is not hooked up perfectly. One example, I took it to 65 in 3rd (around 6k rpms) and it was still pulling quite hard, it seemed to be pulling better then usual not much faster just smoother. More on that when installed properly.

Now for the pics
