has anyone ran thier car with the plenum off or loose?

 

Wait....What? Think about that...

 

yes it will and you'll gain about 25 hp

 

No you cannot run the car without the intake plenum.....

 

you can try to start it, you might get smoke, or a bunch of codes because of all that stuff not being grounded

 

There is no possible way that trying to run an engine with the plenum off could lead to a good outcome.

 

Its not even about outcome though, it just wont run. Not only would that be similar to eliminating the throttle (that would make the engine rev up until something fails or the fuel pump gives out) but you would also need a way to setup vacuum for blow-by hoses and all the other ones.

 

can you say HUGE vacuum leak?

 

No throttle body = no start...

 

Of course it'll run without the plenum...






You'll just have to get 6 throttle bodies, a map sensor, an emu, and a vacuum canister. lol

 

Ok,were done here..
