Im doing a ls2 intake on my 08 sierra, can someone run down the vacuum ports with me. I haven't removed the truck intake yet but I know there is one on each side of the throttle body intake and two on the back in reference to the ls2. I can see that the brake booster vacuum line on my truck goes to the back which I assume will go to the big one on the back of the ls2 intake. The big one on the pass. side of the ls2 intake I think goes to my new non DOD valley cover, that leaves two.
Thanks

The main thing is the wire connector,I believe eather will work with the right connector.Call Donald@806-7903003 and he will tell you exatly. Larwarce is changing manifolds and had same problem and he got it figured out his # is903-5394235 I believe he had to use a space Paul pm2630

hey guys, quick question.
in post #2 cam said that you need different bolts for the car intake. which bolts do you need? i assume they would be the ones that match whatever intake you got? (ie ls3 intake, bolts from an ls3 motor)
anyone have a rough idea of the cost of the bolts?
i have a 2010 ly6. i am trying to put a ls3 style intake on.
thanks for the help.

Here is how I relocated the idler pulley and made the truck accessories work with the LS3 intake for under $10. Granted I do still need to buy a belt, but I'm also thinking about scrapping this altogether and making my own brackets from scratch. I don't like how high the alternator sits with this setup.

I just got done relocating my idler pulley on my 2005 Silverado with the 5.3 engine using the Misumi USA (www.misumiusa.com) spacer, PN KNCLM10-30-20, and bolt is PN CB10-160.
I used a 103 inch belt (Gates K061031 or 6PK2618) which is 10 inches longer than the stock 93 inch belt (Gates K060930 or 6PK2363).
On my truck, the relocated idler pulley sits between a 1/16 and a 1/8 of an inch inboard using the above spacer. Now the belt rides closer to the front of the pulley instead of the back of the pulley. It works fine, so far. I may add an additional washer to push the pulley forward a little.
I wanted to do this mod so I can clean up my engine bay a little better. This mod will allow me to run a 2010 L99 / LS3 camaro water pump and adjustable adler pulley. This will enable me to shorten my radiator hose and keep it from running from the driver's side radiator inlet to the passenger side water pump outlet. After doing the radiator hose mod, I can put in a custom intake pipe, from the throttle body to stock intake box, with out having to run it over the radiator hose.

malibudave, thanks for the post. I came up with the Misumi spacer dimensions based on my bracket, but because the new location of the idler is against a cast surface, there will likely be some variability in the required spacer size from bracket to bracket. With Misumi you can order different length spacers; just change the end of the part number and they'll make you what you need: KNCLM10-30-20 is 20mm length, KNCLM10-30-25 would be 25mm length. The 10 corresponds to ID and the 30 corrresponds to OD.

Bandit, Should of measured, but I didn't think the variance would be that large. It has worked fine for me over the past two weeks with no problems. Now I just have to order my Camaro water pump, adjustable idler pully, trim my alternator bracket, and modify/find a radiator hose that will fit and I should be good to make my own intake system.
Misumi customer service was pretty good for just the 2 parts I bought. They would follow up with me on my purchase and asked if I had any questions about their catalog or how to order products. I was pretty impressed.

Will the LY6 truck intake work in any car applications?
I figure the LY6 intake is a nogo for you F-Body guys but that perhaps maybe some of the g body guys might have been able to keep them

Sorry to be the random lurker bumping a 2 year old thread, but there's some things I'm unsure of that I can't find answers to.
I have a 2008 LY6 on the way, and a brand new complete LS3 intake on my shelf from a 2011 Camaro.
Has anyone mounted a car intake backwards on a Gen IV truck engine? Mine is going in a tube chassis rock racing buggy, and the intake will probably have to be mounted backwards for packaging reasons in front of the engine (dual pass trans and steering coolers, winch, ect) and to keep the incoming air out of the mud. Is there any interference with the intake and the oil pressure sending unit? I will be using an autometer sending unit in the accumulator adapter above the oil filter, so I won't need the factory boss.
Also, on my intake there are two nipples on the bottom behind the throttle body flange, are they water passages for a pre-heating system, or are they vacuum nipples that need to be capped?

Regarding the MAP sensor, I got my 2010 LS3 intake a few days ago and tried out the LY6 sensor. The hole in the intake is definitely bigger on the LS3 intake, hence verifying the need for doubled-up seals. I may pickup some o-rings from the hardware store to try out, but I'm guessing some carefully placed RTV or Right Stuff would do the trick to form a seal. The injector connections are the same as on my '07 LY6 and the LY6 throttle body bolted right up. I think I may have to shave a little off the waterpump near the outlet, but it shoudn't be too bad.

Hey Guy's,
Just wondering, I have purchase a Truck manifold from an 07 Yukon as I had been told the truck manifold was good for making torque, and my ls is in a 4wd. But reading this thread it would appear that you guys are going the other way.
Why are you doing this? Have I done the wrong thing?
Thanks
