what gaskets are reuseable and what ones need to be replaced, like the throttle body gasket, the uim to lim gasket, those kind of gaskets. and when going single and you take off the solinoid rack what do you do with the wire connections, the ones that are differnt colors, that are part of the main harness? cut them? get a new harness? i just dont know. and the final question is, on the lim on the side facing the sec. fuel rail what is that big ass thing bolted on to it and will an upgraded fuel rail fit with it on there? sorry for all the questions at once, but any help would be awesome.

get all new gaskets, it's not worth saving $5.00 to have to do the job twice.

I reccoment just taping all the connectors onto the existing harness so they are sealed freom the elemnts, sometimes cutting the plugs off leads to problems.

That big thing is the air control valve, aftermarket rail will not fit with it on, you need to take it off and put on a block off plate.

so i should cut them, just tape them up and tape them to the rest of the harness?

I cut all mine and neatly taped them back to the harness, ensuring none of them could contact each other. (I have PFC)

jakew131 09-23-2003 06:36 PM

i was going to run the apexi power fc too, any problems with it so far?

toddp31 09-23-2003 06:55 PM

Before I pulled it again NO problems. If you ever want to go back to stock for any reason it will be a pain in the ass.

trust me do not cut the harness, I learned from experience. I also run the PFC. Just tape everything neatly and you will hardly notice they are there. What I did was to tape off all the "branches" from the main harness, to the main harness itself

I got a extra harness just in case! I was thinking about put a stock motor back in my car a selling it and the cut harness would cause a problem.





If you don't do a go job you might have problems. turbovr6 idea will work well too https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683664.gif I hate cutting ****.

nice i'll tape them up tomorrow on my lunch, if i wanna run 1600cc injectors do i need new connections or will they clip right on?

toddp31 09-23-2003 10:59 PM

You need to get the clips and drop down resistors!
