Note the orientation of the shaft. The shortest end goes where the TPS will bolt to.
Spin the shaft on its side, so you can slide the plate in. DO NOT use a metal hammer on this plate. It is very soft and you can easily dent the plate and make it not seal correctly. I used a mallet for this.
Again, making sharpie notes on everything always helps.
You have to play with the plate a bit to get the holes to line up. Then just bolt her down. I used new screws and red loctite.
Here's the most PITA process of putting a TB together. Put the spring on, make sure the hook gets put on the post.
Slide the larger one over it.
Put the green spring inside the plastic casing here.
NOW STOP! Instead of fighting with pliers, needle noses, clamps, fingers, etc. Just ziptie the two top hooks together. I found out by chance today that it was by far the EASIEST way of getting these stupid coils together. Now hold the ziptie in one hand and spin the TB, while pushing down on the plastic thing. Once you get the lines you previously made with your sharpie in line (usually 2 full rotations), put the hooks onto the ear.
Final product:
Bolted her down with the TB elbow:
I rushed along and bolted this stuff fairly quickly:
UICP with new hump hose from extremepsi
battery
FP intake pipe
home made CAI
For anyone who wants to know, it's just a 4" 90* PVC pipe (painted black), 4" fernco coupler (plumbing aisle) and a 4" KN filter.
JMF cans. Conveniently enough, the visteon radiator leaves PERFECT room for the arm on the JMF coolant can.
