[PICS] Gen V intake on my Gen IV ACR [PICS]

**SSGNRDZ_28** · 11-29-2014

OK, I was able to do the install tonight and even sneak in a test drive as its 50 degrees here today. Thanks to all of the "pioneers" here who shared their experiences and helped my install go smoothly. No codes, no issues as of yet. I'll check the bolts again in the morning to see if they require tightening again.

The limiters seemed to work well. One tweak I will probably do for the next run is increase the bolt hole size even further to allow for slop in the manifold, some of the bolts were harder than others to align on the initial fit. Looking straight down the hole it was clear that they were off center due to the inconsistency in the manifold. This said, I was still able to do the install. This change would just make the install go quicker IMO.

One thing that may go without saying is that after I torqued down all of the bolts in the recommended pattern I went back again to confirm all were torqued and many required ~1/4 turn more. I'm not sure if anyone else did this, if not, this may account for some of the bolts being out of spec after a heat cycle.

Some photos attached (forgive the rough catch can plumbing). Man that old intake feels HEAVY, on my scale this mod saves roughly 11.4 lbs.

Awesome news. I'm still trying to figure out what I want to do with my car. This may be the way to go.

**Steve M** · 11-29-2014

Just let me know when you get the next revised batch in...still very much interested.

I cut my angle to match on my torque limiters and this is exactly what I did. One heat cycle after install. Let it cool. Re-torqued one time. Has been perfect since.

**SSGNRDZ_28** · 12-01-2014

Thanks, just an update on my install, after one heat cycle each bolt required 0-1/4 turn of tightening (when cool) to get back to spec. I probably won't get too much more driving done until the spring.

For all who are interested, I ordered a batch today, they will be available in early January.

Done and paid for, thanks for providing a solution for this Doug. It is great vendors like yourself that take the time and do the R&D for items like this which are ultra low volume specialty parts.

**FastMatt** · 12-05-2014

Pre-ordered mine just now.

**Mbccenter** · 12-05-2014

Paid. Now I need to get a intake.

No problem, I enjoy it so it doesn't seem like work. Surprisingly some of these Viper parts are even lower volume than IndyCar parts.

Count me in as well. If someone is putting this together, maybe include the 2013 hose PCV hose line in the Group Buy?

**XSnake** · 12-06-2014

With production starting up again it might be tough getting the newer manifolds since the factory will be using them. Maybe a group buy through one of the sponsoring dealerships???
