Anyone with Greddy Intake Manifold...?

Anyone with a Greddy Intake Manifold, I was wondering what specifically needs to be done to the tb cable and the fuel rail to make it work.

Despite searching all over, all I ever find is the generic "some modification to the fuel rail and throttle body cable may be necessary"

I believe you might have to either bend the TB bracket or create a new one. Im pretty sure its nothing to drastic. As for the fuel rail, Im not sure I know must people run the HKS/Sard style fuel rails which bolt rite up.
hows your car doing btw bro?

Thanks for the advice....car is running excellent, but my p/s if f*ed up...

It chatters hard at low speeds and rpms...obviously at higher speeds, you don't need it much. The pump is making some crappy sounds. At first I thought maybe it was a leak, but the level has remained pretty constant for a while....

Maybe the pump is just shot....I dunno. I figure I'm not doing any damage at least....worst case scenario, the pump goes.

Was gonna do power upgrade soon, but instead I might just do the Greddy Intake and then get a PowerFC and get tuned.

nice man G/L with that. Are you going to get the Greddy Intake or "Style" intake. I know the difference is like $250 between them.

I am a name-brand ***** when it comes to car parts....I'd rather save up for twice as long and buy the best stuff than have instant gratification with possible junk....going with Greddy

hell yeah thats what I have as well. Its a cast aluminum piece and im pretty sure its stronger than the ebay version. Both get the job done but I like the GReddy brand version.

I have a greddy "style" mani from ebay. I just bent the stock TB cable bracket at first but I didnt like how it looked. I took a peice of 1" wide aluminum flat plate and drilled a couple holes, bolted it on and bent it to shape, then cut out where the cable and bolts went and it works perfect. As for the fuel rail, mine just bolted up fine, and I had to run some different fuel lines to the filter and return, no biggie. I left the cruise off too

Hey SR91, can you take a few pix of the manifold. I just wanna see how everything is set-up in your motorbay for it,etc. That would be righteous if you could do that for me.
