fp intake pipe

[dan2288]

I was just looking at the fp intake pipe and noticed that it doesn't have those two nipples that the stock one has. What two lines should connect there and do i have to connect them ?

One more quick question. Ill be running a 2.3, fp3065, fp3 cams at 20-23 psi daily. What spark plugs do you recomand ? the 7's or 8's ?

From stock there are 3 nipples, ones for the BCS (which you've more then likely removed), one is for the crank case vent & the last is for the charcoal canaster (or something else emissions related). Figure out if you want all nipples you need to run, then drill & tapp the intake to install a threaded barb fitting. This works well in the thick aluminum & the nice thing about doing it yourself is you can put them in the perfect location & hide them out of site if you want (what I did)

For the plugs more then likely the 7's will be all you need. If you not seeing full boost all the time the 8's are going to foul pretty quickly & for that boost level shouldn't be needed.

Will I be able to put on a filter on the crank case nipple then ? And i did remove the bcs restrictor, so I dont need that hose line ?

Adding a filter to the crank case vent on the valve cover is a bad idea. It has been discussed many times on here but the short description is it will let unmeter air into the intake under vacuum & it doesn't provide enough (or proper) crank case ventelation under boost. Connect a line from the valve cover back to the intake pipe just like factory. If you want to prevent oily buildup in your IC pipes, place a sealed oil catch can inline with the hose & your set.

If you have or will be running an aftermarket boost controller then you normally don't leave the BCS still connected. If you plan on running the BCS, then you do need the nipple on the intake.
