PI Intake Replacement

[sn95jones]

Since I did the motor swap I was aware that the intake had a very small coolant leak however I got very annoyed with smelling coolant burning on the back side of the heads.
I had bought a used intake which I thought was a PI intake UNTIL I lined them up and saw the huge difference.
Come to find out I got screwed out on $110. Guy ripped me off and never heard from him again.

So I ordered a brand new intake and am expecting it around 4 today, already got the car tore apart for the new intake. Here are some pics

Start

How it sits now

Parts ready to go back in, except that crossover

Difference between the NPI (left) and PI (right)

And the culprit

That coolant port was really fubared.

I need to order a new intake as well. Mine has a small vacuum leak and the car is running a bit lean.
This will be my 4th intake swap on the car... :angry7:

So did you actually need a new PI intake or just that it was leaking from the coolant port and needed to be re-sealed? I decided to use NPI gaskets for this reason when I did my PI intake swap.

any pics of the underside of them old and new? Looks like your new one is a Dorman PI intake.

My current leaking intake is a Dorman and I didn't really feel a power loss when I went from a FRPP intake to the Dorman one.

:laughing5: well in that case keep it. I believe there a size difference when comparing the dorman vs ford racing pi intake replacement.

I put a nonpi dorman on mine and had no problems either.,.. but it was nonpi lol

Good luck

Lol yeah I mean why pay extra for something when this works fine. I may lose a hp or two but who cares I'll gain that back by geting a cai pft
