it was the hose i used from the pipe to the block it was too old and just ripped i plan on replacing it today after work i got a hose from some german hydro shop its good up 58 bar and 110 degrees C. so hopefully it works they were nice and gave it to me for free

gotta be that plastic junction pipe...did you change it during this process?

so update just did it yesterday like stated earlier and its about 100 degrees today and im puking coolant from under the manifold, 1. i put too much coolant in yesterday could that be why its puking out, and 2. i am fairly certain i tightened the crap out of all the coolant lines.. im at a loss its so effing hot and i dont wanna pull the intake again, i drove about 50 miles since the i did the work.. car runs fine just leaking coolant all over the block

its a little harder to find it here in germany for some reason all the auto parts stores do not carry vac lines, just heater hose, no fuel lines either ive tried like 5 or 6 different ones, pelican and turner are life savers!

I just got the smallest size I saw at kragen, I think it was like $0.49 for the foot.

Just did mine today took like 4 hours jesus it was hot as balls today too, sunburned but worth it no more stupid mess, along with relocated ICV, painted mani, and way better throttle response! Thanks Vivek had the printout taped to the bottom of my hood, btw i dont know what size it is but make sure to get the vac line from the Fuel pressure reg to the TB, that tiny little bastard exploded on me so i wrapped it in electrical tape until i can gets a new one!

Awh shhiiittty. Alright, I am thinking you could possibly use the vaccuum hose on the upper mani....the throttle body or well I don't really know lol.

Alright sweet. I am planning on doing that in like a couple months. When I have my fall break from school for now I am gonna try a seafoam treatment and oil and tensioner change. With the seafoam if I disconnect the vaccuum hose to the brake booster and apply seafoam there will that work?
And its 1/3 in the intake 1/3 in the oil and 1/3 in the gas right?

I have no clue but would also like to know.

If you know what you're doing going in and follow that diagram, you can get everything (I think) locally for around $30 max. The fuel lines are under the intake mani and go to the fuel rail. They don't have to be replaced, but I did it anyway. They're about 2" long each, and a foot of fuel injection hose was like $6.49. You have to be careful when cleaning the ports on the head. I used just a plain shirt with nothing on it, but mine were extremely clean. You could use a rag and brakleen (soak the rag in it and don't use paper, you don't want bits going into your engine). For the lower intake mani I used some degreaser, a dish brush, and a hose.

Hey Vivek I am a little confused. I am starting to just know venture into the engine aspect of my car. I am a serious noob at working on um and my plans are new tensioner and this mod. 1. How much did you spend on parts for this clean up? 2. Where do fuel lines come into play? I thought it was only vaccuum and coolant lines, or are vaccuum lines also fuel lines? (Noob like I said) I.e. what do the two lines between the lower intake tubes connected to. 3. What did you use to clean the ports of the intake? Wire brush and some solvent? And if so what kinda solvent. Thanks in advance any help is greatly appreciated.

Good, now your thread will likely be enough for anyone attempting this :D. I personally found it too confusing/complicated when I went into it all using your thread. Then that one diagram saved my ass.

Good stuff here. Thanks for sharing Vivek.

More on the subject in this thread.

Also - I totally stole the picture diagram and added it to the thread in the name of good information sharing.
