OBX intake manifold and Jeep throttle body question

[Brian O Conner]

Alrighty guys, want to help someone serious about the money put into this car look at my profile then youll know my obsession with this dam thing. Okay, I am running across some major questions on the Jeep throttle body conversion that did not occur to me. Most people that do the throttle body conversion have stock intake manifolds.

I have a obx intake manifold that I ported out and inside of intake manifold. I am going to take the intake manifold to my favorite machine shop that I have spent 3,000 dollars with and get the flange resurfaced(because the dum company decided to chrome the flange and make it so not smooth), resurface were the throttle body sits, have the hole were the throttle body sits on the intake manifold bored to 63mm(because my throttle body is a bored one that I got from a jeep machine shop) and have them transfer the sensor and hose fitings from the stock intake manifold.

Now here is my question there is a big sensor on the very end of the intake manifold opposite of the throttle body end will I have to put that on my obx intake manifold and if so how the hell am I going to do that? Question 2 I looked on two different 2GNT forum logs on the conversion one says to cut off the hose pipe and drill were it was on the Jeep throttle body and JB weld were the pipe fiting was shut. Is this true I mean seriously true do I do this? quesion number 3 I put both sensors that were on my stock 420a throttle body on the Jeep throttle body correct? Any body that awnsers these thanks and remember your helping someone that is beyond serious about this car.

If you want people to take your post seriously, exercise proper spelling, grammar and punctuation. I really do not understand half of your rant. Most of it has nothing to do with your question.

The sensor opposite of the throttle body is your MAP sensor. You need to mount that anywhere on the manifold were the wiring harness allows you. I do not know what hose pipe you are referring to. Brake booster? Consider attaching pictures for people to look at when helping you out.

This article and this article describes what you need for sensors on the throttle body.

Okay, here is a picture of the obx intake manifold of another person. You see how it has the sensor and one of the hose fitings then you see 2 other fitings on the right. were do I get the fitings for those. also the map sensor goes on and gets drilled on the far left correct?

The MAP sensor? Yes, you'll need that.

Question 2 I looked on two different 2GNT forum logs on the conversion one says to cut off the hose pipe and drill were it was on the Jeep throttle body and JB weld were the pipe fiting was shut. Is this true I mean seriously true do I do this?

You'll have to give us a link to what you're talking about, or actually attach an image. Refer to the links CODE4 gave you.

quesion number 3 I put both sensors that were on my stock 420a throttle body on the Jeep throttle body correct?

One's a sensor and one's an actuator, but yes, you'll need them both. Again, refer to the links CODE4 gave you.

Any body that awnsers these thanks and remember your helping someone that is beyond serious about this car.

For someone who's so serious about their car, I'd think you would know what a MAP sensor is.

To reiterate what was said before, please try to use better grammar and spelling in the future. Separating your thoughts and questions into paragraphs helps when you're trying to communicate a lot. Ignoring this suggestion just makes it harder for you to get the help you need.

The site will not allow the picture to load too much memory needed. If you guys really want to help me out basically awnser what all needs to go onto the obx intake manifold besides the Map sensor. There is 4 holes on the back of the obx intake manifold in the picture I can see the tiny sensor off of the stock intake manifold, fuel rail with injectors and a hose fiting off of the stock intake manifold.

The picture is off of the 2gnt post on how to port the obx intake manifold.2 fitings need to go on the obx intake manifold that I cannot Identify. Also does the hose on the 420a hook right up to the Jeep throttle body fitting?
