Re: Phenolic Intake Manifold Spacer

Ive seen an EGR on a 90 deg upper. Used longer tube but it's an eyesore. Also, if you read the old posts there, i think it was MC2 that did some testing and deemed the EGR to be non funcitonal on the XR.

I have thought about that John. Gutted, dummy VAM with a connector harness that goes into the frame rail. Intercoolers are legal as long as it doesnt change the intake manifold orientation. Just remove the BOV/BPV.

Definitely! If you were gonna spend $600 on a BMW VAM, then I would just PiMP it. You've done so much work to the car that swapping in a VAM for smog will worth the effort.

Re: Phenolic Intake Manifold Spacer

Go to the JY will a multimeter and test the sweep on one before you buy. If there aren't any around you, I can pull one for you and sweep it.

Re: Phenolic Intake Manifold Spacer

Re: Shopping for the XR4Ti for Christmas

They are alloy and since there's no poly to squish to get the bolts threaded, you can use the stock ones instead of the allen cap screw bolts that MC2 sells.
