Questions about my setup...

[Brian95SVT]

Ok so I was out shooting pool last night with some buddies who all drive mustangs.
They were asking me about my setup.
I told them I have a PI Intake on NPI heads and they said it's not possible... because the ports don't match up to the head...
Then we got on the topic of PI cams in NPI heads...
They were wondering how they would fit in an NPI head and I told them it would work just fine...
I know there are two different styles of PI cams: Romeo and Windsor

Now which ones would I get?
I was told I have a bolt on cam not a press on cam
Which PI cam is a bolt on?

If you have AIM
hit me up on there so it's easier to talk

 

[DropTopPony]

You can use either cam in your heads.

 

[97stanger]

yeah you can use either cam, romeo or windsor.

 

[Brian95SVT]

blown can you log onto AIM or no?

 

[Brian95SVT]

And another thing, apparently I am slowly leaking antifreeze ever since we put the PI intake on... well ever since the shop did

 

[justinschmidt1]

so what exactly is your question?


your friends are dumb.


pi intake works on npi heads with pi intake gaskets and a dab of rtv.


pi cams go right in with no degreeing...

Im not sure if its romeo or windsor that needs the cam gears

And the shop effed up the intake install

 

[Brian95SVT]

would it be just a simple, take it off and put it back on fix?

did the shop know to use rtv when they installed the pi intake?


cause the rtv is supposed to stop the leaking from the coolant port.

Im sure they didnt use rtv....so its leaking.

 

[Jrgunn5150]

They probably used the wrong gaskets too, but yes, it's a simple fix

 

[Brian95SVT]

just get new gaskets and that rvt?

 

[justinschmidt1]

Im pretty sure you use pi intake gaskets and a dab of rtv on the corner of the coolant port.

 

[Brian95SVT]

ok so how hard is it to take it off and put it back on?

 

[Jrgunn5150]

Im pretty sure you use pi intake gaskets and a dab of rtv on the corner of the coolant port.

I thought you had one? Lol. Anyway, use 99 Mustang GT gasket's, and look at the top of the page for the sticky that has everything you need to know about it.

Think of it as a test, if you can't swap the intake, you definately aren't ready to do gear's, cams and everything else.

you do know that I was having my friends who have done it and build all their stuff themselves help me work on my car right?
so i wouldn't have been doin it alone but yeah i get ya JR

 

[AaRoN]

The intake's a cake walk :thumb:

I had my whole '01 motor completely apart and put it back together the same day. Course it was on an engine stand so everything was easy to get to. Point is, cars aren't as complex or difficult as everyone makes them out to be. Alot of it is common sense.

 

[Jrgunn5150]

I know, and I know they've fed you some bad info too, so.... It's a straightforward thing to do, take you time, read the sticky, and learn alot about the car.

 

[Brian95SVT]

Not so much fed me bad stuff, they just were missinformed about what they learned haha
they all have PI motors.... typical pi guys hahahaha jk

but thanks for lookin out for me JR
i will read it and hopefully get it done next weekend
