Question What would I need to complete Swap?... PLEASE HELP, GOT STUCK!!!

Im removing my Ls6 intake stock set up and Installing a Fast 92 Intake. Here is the parts list... Fast 92 intake, 92mm Throttle body, 85mm MAF sensor, 92mm Lid.

All i would be needing is a bellow, right? so what can be used for that? Would a Fenco rubber coupling do? Thats what i currently have on right now for a bellow, not sure if 4in diameter would work.

Pieces should bolt right on, please let me know if im missing anything else.
Thx...

Fernco coupler will do fine. You seem to have it lined out...

You'll need button style bolts for the valley cover or you'll have a crack or multiple cracks on your FAST 92 consequently will have a high idle/hang idle after installation.

You absolutely do have to buy them, just search ebay for fast valley cover bolts. By cracks he means it will literally crack the bottom of the intake manifold because the heads of the stock bolts come into contact with it.

Ok cool, i'll do a search or google it... Thanks!!!

Found the size!...

M8 x 1.25 x 32, hope this helps others in the future.





Out to look for them...

Found the bolt but the head is Phillips not button type... Will this work?

Found this at grainger... Will i need any type of washers and is this better than phillips type?

What is that?.... I debaffled the hood scoops so air goes straight into the airbox unrestricted. Part of my free mods... Thats what you are talking about?

Hey guys, quick question!... Im removing the Intake right now, and Im stuck on the Fuel quick connect that feeds the injectors. I slip'd on a quick release disconnect and it wont come off. The tool im using is from autozone, they are blue and gray quick connect fuel removers.

What em i doing wrong? or is that not the right tool!

Provided it is the right size (tool should wrap completely around the line but have a snug fit to it), you may need to press in the fitting as you are using the tool, possibly turn the tool around inside of it. Some are just a PITA to get off lol.

Default Please help with maf...

Thanks man, and yes it was a PITA to take off that fuel line...


I pretty much completed the whole swap and connected all the electronics back up.

THE GM 85mm MAF wont connect to the stock plug on my LS1... I hate to use the stock MAF.

Any Solution to this problem!?...

You need to buy a 5 pin adapter for it.

You can get the caspers adapter. I bought the 5 to 3 plug off ebay and kept my IAT plugged into lid.

I'll check it out n buy one.... On a side note, I test drove the ride down to gas station, and it runs like complete azz. Had to put pedal all the way down just to hit speed limit, and felt like it wasn't at WOT. Is this tuning or throttle adjustment?


Quick Reply: What would I need to complete Swap?... PLEASE HELP, GOT STUCK!!!
