I still need to install the RPM switch and the oil seperator on the PCV line. I also need to drain coolant and install my lower temp thermostat so the car runs cooler. Finally, I need to make it work with my PR Style CAI.

On the Fuel Rail, the one closest to the front of the car, replace with this http://www.sx7r.com/fuelfitting.htm
In hte middle of hte manifold, there are 2 elbows, one for PCV and one for vaccum. The small one for vaccum can be used for the FPR or you can use the stock vaccum source.
Also I got hte oil seperator from WalMart for 11 bucks. It is where they keep hte air tool stuff.

I don't know if you have to, but it makes it more like stock and I think that is better. But my fuel rail didn't come with anything on the front one so I had to get it. Also my car is not running rich, or at least I can't tell it is.
One more thing to add, stock Midpipe doesn't fit

SO you kept the stock EGR? thats wonderful! I really didnt want to remove it.
i have the "oil separator" you speak of and its not to be used with sythetic oils.....which i just switched to. the oil reacts with the plastic bowl and chages color. it may be eatting away at the bowl. ive been empting it out and keeping a close watch.
NO stock mid pipe?!! DOH!

Yeah, all the brake stuff is in hte way on the right side, so stock one will not fit.

Thats a cool swap, but the 5th gen VI is poorly engineered in terms of reliability. I have had mine fail 2 seperate times and it is happening to a lot of people in the 5th gen forum. The good news is that there is a pretty simple fix for it.

I zip tied the VI open and damn. I can feel it pull like crzy after 5000 RPM. I LOVE it![Nod](https://maxima.org/forums/images/smilies/nod.gif)

Ahh the zip tie method. You are right about the d@mn part. I really believe it has a better top and than the MEVI.

kevlo911 can you make a diagram or list of the whjat you did with the different fittings on the manifold, i think we talked about this before but i wanted to see what you ended up doing as final results and compare to my own plans ![Smilie](https://maxima.org/forums/images/smilies/smile.gif)

I plugged up the vaccum line on the right side of the TB inlet neck. On the top vaccum inlet, I put a bigger elbow so the 10mm hose would fit in it. I got hte TB adapter block made and I install the 00+injector connectors.

what are you using to plug those fittings with?
yeah i noticed the top fitting looks a lil different from stock, where is that one goign to?

Ok, I've read most of things so far about the VI swap. I'm just a little un-clear as to whether the VI can be moved over without any customizing. No home made TB adaptors, no soldering.... etc.
Is it possible. I have a complete 2k block, so all parts are available to me

SWEEEEET... I seriously need to start reading up on this soon so when I have the dough I can tackle it!
There isn't really a complete writeup anywhere, is there... I bet quite a few people would kill for one...
