Need some intake manifold and 6port clarificatoin (s4/s5) **PICS**
First of all, when I bought the car, it came with a 88 (s4) "shortblock" (block/rotors/omp) and everything else was S5 (accessories/intake). I think only the LIM was S4 so it could mate with the S5 intake easily.
Well, I couldn't quite figure out why my 6 ports always looked different than other S5s.
I'm pretty sure that the 6ports on my car now are S4.
The previous owner told me that the 6 ports were T'ed into the airpump. IIRC, the 6 ports on the S4 are EXAUST operated. I have not taken anything off my engine past the throttle body, or just the actual 6 port actuators.
My question is, what parts am I looking at here. I'm not sure if the ACV is S4 or S5, or the intake manifold is S4 or S5.
Here's some pics.
The car doesn't have registration or a plate on it, as well as a battery... so I have no way of even TESTING the 6 ports. They are very free to move manually, but not sure if the exaust back pressure is opening them or not.
The parts that are laying in the chair are parts that came with the car in a box. Don't know what's what.. I've checked the FSM, but can not tell the difference between ACV's and the 'intake manifold.'
ACV
Intake Manifold Side
S5(???) Intake manifold with ACV and actuators on.
Same Thing again...
Bad pic of the intake manifold, with the s4 actuator off the car.
This is the S4 actuator correct? Does not have a 90 degree air pipe coming out the bottom, only a screw.
Same... S4??
S5?
S5 again?
I can't get a good pic of the intake manifold ON the car, but just wondering how to tell if it is infact being operated by exaust... or by the airpump (if that's possible)
If you need anything clarified, or what not.. please lemme know. Want to have this puppy running PERFECT by June.

The 2/3 pics are of the S5 LIM, correct. The LIM is specific to the entire manifold assembly, so it should either have one of the other intake assembly.
I've done some mixing of manifolds in the past few days (attempts) and it doesn't work.
Feel free to PM me if you have questions about some of those other intake pieces.

Bottom line, like I told you a long time ago, the only way to make that thing right is to put all the right parts on it. Mixing and matching **** doesnt work out in the long run.
Just buy all the right stuff, bolt it on, and be done with it. Why is this so hard, in your mind? IT could cost a maximum of a couple hundred bucks for all the s5 intake, vacuum rack, and other components.

i had a blown actuator (s5) and picked one up in the used parts forum for $5.00+shipping. They aren't expensive if you find someone willing to part them.

AFAIK, since my block is a S4... I could only use the S4 LIM. (Or I could use the S5... but it would require modification)
Yeah, replacing the LIM WOULD yield better gains... but it will still run at the moment right? Ok then.
It's not so hard in my mind Kevin. I would rather dump that S4 block and get a S5 and ship that ****** to you to get rebuilt... believe me. I just don't have that money yet.
I have the S5 LIM, and the actuators.. but the manifold I have is COVERED in carbon, and the actuator connectors and rods are both missing in the manifold (they were broken, so I popped them out)
Thanks for the help guys, got my answers.. all I needed
Kevin, sorry if I'm "annoying" you or what not. Not my intention... just wanted some clarification that I couldn't get from the FSM.

I don't mind helping people, don't get me wrong. I just dont see why it is such a hard concept that if you want your car to work right, you bolt in the parts it was meant to come with, turn the key, and you're done (provided you did the work right).

Don't know where that came from..
anywhow.
THe only reason I posted this message is because the S5 FSM and the S4 FSM are the EXACT same as far as the port actuators. I just needed some clarification.
Didn't want to know which parts I could swap...

As a matter of fact.. im looking at the S5 FSM right now, and it shows that the actuators are always in the extended postion.... WTF!
Think I'm going to go buy a Haynes....
