    My Bakflip G2 tonneau cover arrived today, took time to install it!



    After that I stopped by my local machine shop and picked up my intake manifold.

    Had the lower spacer and the bottom portion of the upper intake manifold machined to accept my throttle bodies.

    Spacer





    Upper Intake Manifold





    GSX-R Throttles









    I will take some time this weekend to fit up the secondary fuel rail, throttle linkages and the mount for the throttle motor.

    The fuel injector spacing on these ITBs is exactly the same as the stock J35 rails. So I purchased an extra set of rails. I have a modified set of GSX-R injectors and complete wiring harness to install as well.

        Got the secondary J35Z5 fuel rails and 240cc GSX-R injectors mounted today.

        Rails and injectors mocked up so I could get the measurements for the aluminum mounting brackets.



        Aluminum brackets fabricated and rails mounted to the GSX-R throttles.



        The stock rails have the injectors pointing out from the center where as these are pointing in. This actually worked out in my favor as it took less fabrication to mount them this way on the throttles.

        Complete intake manifold with lower intake runners mounted.



        I will be using the stock injectors and fuel rails as well as these secondary injectors.

          Nice work! I wish I had your knowledge and fabrication skills. Looking forward to a sound click soon.

            Thank you. All it takes is a little patience......

            It will be a little while before I have any video of this in action. This install will have to wait until later in the spring. That's when I bring my Grand Am out from storage. I will drive the GA while this one goes under the wrench.

              Had to do it. Set of Bisi Level 2 spec Web Cams for the J35.



              Quite the ramp angle on the exhaust lobes......

                Upper Intake Manifold Modifications

                Picked up my Non IAB upper intake cover this week. Preparing to paint it the same colour as the chassis.



                Factory casting flaw removal.





                Paint to follow.....


                Also took some time to port and polish the upper intake manifold.

                      I'm getting the itch to install all these parts. I still have a foot of snow in the yard and the streets are messy with melting snow, sand, salt and potholes. Lots of potholes...gotta love the Maritimes.

                      The sooner I can get the Grand Am out of storage and back on the road. The sooner this one gets a makeover.

                              Finally took a few minutes to lay down some clear....



                              and took a few more minutes to clean and prime my valve cover.





                              Shame that its going to be painted

                                Valve cover and intake manifold cover done!



                                Love this colour. The pictures don't do it any justice. You really don't get to see the depth and burgundy and gold colours that come out in the pearls.
