Throttle body charge pipe, anything special about install?

Michigan1LTRS · 04-28-2017, 03:23 PM

Received my RPM throttle body charge pipe today. For those of you who have installed this do you have any words of wisdom or anything I should be careful about before I install this. Looks pretty straight forward, but you know how that can can go. The stock pipe connection at the throttle body looks like a ring connector. Does that just turn one way or the other and how far? Thanks for any advice you can give me!

it turns to the left (counter clock-wise) after the install you should start the car and let run for 1/2 a minute or so (until it idles down) maybe 3 or 4 times for the ecu to learn the new TB

Assuming that you got the Larger Throttle Body and not JUST the pipe, do what Rick said. It helps the ECU learn the throttle body position. And avoid opening and closing the throttle body manually, as that can mess up the motor inside the TB.

Sorry guys, my title is a bit ambiguous. I am only installing the intake charge pipe.

You'll get a momentary CEL from disconnecting the MAP that will go away mine went away on the first dyno pull right after it was installed.

When you order the pipe there is a box you have to check. Stock throttle body 59mm or upgraded 68mm. So I assume pipes are different.

I'm trying to install the charge pipe and throttle body... but I can't not remove the dawn pipe... question when turning it counter click wise, how far do I turn the pipe... do I need to remove any radiator hose. Does the pipe turn loosely but didn't come off. Am I not turning it enough? This is fustrating... any help appreciated
