Schiffy Posted July 2, 2013 Report Share Posted July 2, 2013 So I've got my longtubes and my O/R H in the garage, and I think it's time to slap them on. Looking at doing it in 2 weeks, and I've enlisted the help of 99% of the Hampton roads sn95source members! lol... I believe the plan of attack is jack the car up, support the engine from the top and drop the K-member out of the way. Is there anything anybody who has done this before would like to offer advice wise? I think I might go ahead and install the CC plates while the k member is dropped and the struts are outa the way. Anyways, I plan to take some pics and do a write up once its done, but are there any words of wisdom from you veterans?Tapatalk made me do it!

F8L GT Posted July 2, 2013 Report Share Posted July 2, 2013 Only thing that is a bitch is the egr tube on the drivers side header. Even with a crows foot its a Butch to tighten up. Needless to say, I deleted the egr system. Other than that, I do the installs without dropping the KSent from my MILESTONE3 using Tapatalk 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

F8L GT Posted July 2, 2013 Report Share Posted July 2, 2013 The egr valve is bolted to the plenum, you need to buy or make a block off plate Sent from my MILESTONE3 using Tapatalk 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schiffy Posted July 2, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 2, 2013 Stupid question maybe...? Will I need to do anything with the tune if I delete the EGR, or will it run fine?Tapatalk made me do it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm good as long as Matt's here. Anytime I've ever worked on a car and gotten fed up and pissed off and ready to blow it up, Matt steps in and it takes him 3 seconds and whatever I struggled with for hours is done.

copmagnet Posted July 3, 2013 Report Share Posted July 3, 2013 I came to town to get my mom. I'm on leave and ill be out of state when you do the job. But some tips, get a blow yorch, anti sieze, red lock tite and a breaker bar before you start. I think I gave you those stage 8 header bolts.. if they fit use them. If they don't, use red lok tite on your factory(I'd buy new ones) header bolts. Trust me on this one. Those bolts snap very very easily. Being from 96 and such..

Schiffy Posted July 3, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 3, 2013 Well, found a local guy that is gonna let me borrow the engine hold thingy for the top. I've got an air compressor and Matt's air tools, lol, PB blaster and loctite, though I've got blue and not red. All I need are gaskets and O2 extensions.Tapatalk made me do it!

Duff Daddy Posted July 3, 2013 Report Share Posted July 3, 2013 I had the motor out of the car on a k member, then hoisted the motor up, and the k member back in the car in an hour and a half.... needless to say putting long tubes on shouldn't take much moar time...

PapaSmurf Posted July 4, 2013 Report Share Posted July 4, 2013 I'd definitely delete the EGR. I can even help you do it if you buy an EGR delete. It really cleans up the engine bay and makes it look less cluttered. I loved it when i did mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WildWillyWalker Posted July 5, 2013 Report Share Posted July 5, 2013 I needed a few different tools to tighten the bolts. A ratcheting stubby wrench came in handy. I also used a 1/4 ratchet and I believe a regular wrench. The hardest part is tightening all the bolts (I used blue loctite) and getting the k-member back up by hand.
