What else can I do while I'm in there? GSL-SE
 

I'm tired of the idle problem...so this Monday I'll be taking my upper intake off and replacing the fuel line and sending the injectors to get cleaned. I was wondering what else could be done to the car while the intake is off? Are there any other easily replacable parts in there? I've already done my vacuum hoses...

I've got all the coolant lines to be replaced, fuel lines to be replaced and the injectors to be cleaned so far...if there is anything I can do with the fuel rail or anything else while its apart like this...please lemme know

BTW, I'll also be taking lots of pictures for future reference

Remove the lower intake manifold and clean out the 6 port sleaves, passages, etc...

Replace the intake and throttle body!
 

Installed the infamous Pineapple Racing sleeve inserts at the same time, did wonders for my car...

DAMN!!! :drool:

i will clean the throttle body...pulsation damper isn't leaking and is a bit expensive to replace...i did think about the pineapple sleeves but then decided that the return is not greater than the risk...

here's a before and after of last winters project which was to clean up a little...

A Fram oil filter? Best clean-up would be to lose that and use a Wix instead.

yup...dumped the fram...i use purolator or next will be wix...

so guys...what else can i affordably replace? or is my list pretty much complete for the area being worked on?

Like the cone filter set up. I tried a cone and didn't notice a difference. How did yours work out for you especailly since you moved the AFM closer to the intake.

did I mention, take a nice nap till the parts come?

So far so good!

I didn't notice a difference with the stock SE stuff before, but I notice the exhaust sounds better at high RPM's since swapping the intakes. The throttle cable mount has to be messed with when doing this, though, so it feels different than it did before. I need to make a true cold air setup for it, I just haven't figured out how yet.
