So my DEK motor locked up on me last month and after having it replaced I took a few parts from the old motor... my TB is pretty much dead now and after hooking up with AJcool2 he has a UIM with PFTB already mounted to it, so ill be swapping that out this Saturday... anyways, with changing the UIM, I got a lil bored and felt like messing around, so I figured ill clean my old LIM and remove the swirl valve, not for power sake, but at the least better MPG with the removal of all that gunk... anyways...

Pardon the mess of the manifold... guess who went to the parts store and didn't get any degreaser.... yup, this guy... will be clean before install n pics




$10- Harbor freight lol

 

During the process

 

After.... still have a bit of polishing and cleaning to do... will most likely need a bigger dremel









Now like I said, this was done out of pure boredom and I highly doubt there is any performance gains here, just figured I would go ahead and do it out of boredom and the fact that ill be taking the UIM off anyways... if at least im sure this will help the gas mileage, I currently get close to 21mpg and runs pig rich... I might actually have vids of that... AFR's in the 10's... lets see how it performs..


Still to do: finish cleaning and polishing, clean outside of manifold...

 

oh... vids of running rich... car will get tuned as soon as I get AFC fixed...
