^^ dude your comment is a little rediculous. NO its not next to impossible to replace everything back to stock. I did it and I dont consider myself a expert mechanic. only benefit I see is ease of maintenance and possibly cheaper to not have to replace all hoses. Otherwise theres no differenceRenting my rear wheel bearing tool kit. SIR

Just did this last night. Used some parts from a Miata PCV system to make the bypass from the plastic junction to the head, 1/2" heater hose from the valve cover to the throttle body, and 5/8" heater hose from the ICV to the intake.

Also, the notion that stuff under the intake is 'inaccessible' on an m42 seems odd to me. It's probably the easiest intake manifold I've ever removed.Last edited by Ryann; 11-08-2012, 09:17 AM.

Then why do most people, even people like Simon S, use this method? It's not because they're too lazy/unskilled, I can tell you that much.The first car I ever rode in was an e30
