are there any Turbo intake Pipe Kits avail that can be installed without dropping the engine?

I have the manifolds, turbos, Y pipe, Airbox, and Ic pipes all out of the way, and i cant even figure out how to remove the intake pipes without dropping the engine.

 

Several tuners have kits but you at least have to lower the engine a few inches to get any access at all.

 

lower the engine a bit. i am pretty sure you have to cut the stock piping to get it out without lowering the engine all the way.

 

it isnt a easy job.... with only lower the engine but it is possible..you have to cut the oem pipe on driverside plus lower the engine a lot...

hard job to cut the pipes and hard job do fixe the clamp behind the engine

 

It may be better to do this while doing the clutch...

 

winniGT2 knows, he installed our Y-Pipe and turbo hard pipe intake kit himself.

 

sorry for the noob question, but how bad is it to drop the engine on these cars?
how much can you expect to pay for this job at shop?

 

Lowering the motor is quick and easy - loosen a couple of bolts. Dropping the engine out takes a few hours and is fairly involved...

 

A lot can be done by just lowering the engine in the car. This will give you almost another 5 or 6 inches at the top of the engine bay. All that is required (all from the bottom) is to loosen the 2 exhaust straps, loosen and remove the 2 engine mount nuts. It's best to support the engine, but it can't fall out if you just let it rest all the way down. Depending on what your doing you may have to remove the bumper cover..again only a few screws up top and below.

 

What about the engine harness?

 

Not a problem...not even a factor....engine only drops 5 or 6 inches..

 

had to cut my oem stuff..the new pipeing made a huge difference

 

the trick is to cut the stock out... then maybe use the bendable hose kit so you dont have to deal with all the hard piping....
We sell both just for that very reason..
