Just got my hads on a MiniRam intake, planning on installing it this weekend. anyone know where I can get my hands on som install instructions? pdf. or anything. any tips? anything that would help? thanks!

 

Call TPIS
http://tpis.com/

 

ok, got the miniram installed, The direct fit fuel lines supplyed by TPIS dont seem to fit right... and one of the fittings will not even fit on the fuel inlet line! kind of P*ssed being that I just paid the extra $100 bucks for them and they dont even fit right. How are your lines routed and has anyone else had this issue...

 

Which lines did you purchase? I got the braided flexible lines from tpis and they worked perfect. Did you get hard lines?

 

Definition(sp) of peformance parts is---- It doesn't fit !
if you have the hard lines, yes you will have to tweak them a bit..
If it was easy.... Everyone would do it !!!
Glad ya got it installed you'll dig it.

 

I got the flexible lines. three of the fittings have a 120 angle and one has about a 60 degree angle, all four ends have the same size fittings. not sure where they actually go... they didn't come with instructions.. maybe I'm doing it wrong. witch one is the is suppose to be the return? I'm attempting to rout em off to the driver side and affix them to the fittings right next to the wheel well (is his where there suppose to go?) but the pressure fitting on the car is larger then the return, iv got all of them on but that one its bukoo! haha, HELP please... Thanks guys!

 

Tried to post up pics last night but failed. I found the pic you need. Do a search in alternative port intakes.

Type in miniram pics and go to the thread titled minirm install pics needed. Posted by justin 89 formy. The second post has the pic you need.

Good luck

 

Thanks! ill take a look!

 

ok... here is my problem... have the lines routed but the line wont screw onto the fitting, it is larger the the other... did i get the wrong fitting on my line or im I in the wrong place all together?

 

Because you need these:

They should have come with the miniram, the tpis ones are identical apart from the fact that they are not anodized blue, they're bare aluminum.

 

Your in the correct spot.

You should have 2 adapters that thread onto the hard lines then onto your braided lines. Do you have the adapters?

 

thanks, they did not come with, Im going to call TPIS right now. so much brain damage and now im without my car... it took over a week and a half for them to ship me the stuff originaly.... thanks again

 

Just talked to Jim at TPIS, He has them on the way. thanks erre buddy!!

 

O boy you may have to put a new AN fitting on the part you screwed to the factory hard line! If the seat or threads got messed up.. Can't believe you got a metric saginaw "O"ring fitting screwed into a AN cone and seat fitting !!
Def check those AN fitting threads and the seat! AN fittings should screw down with finger pressure until the end. the seat cannot have any knicks at all or it'll leak/seap.. not good by the headers or manifolds..

 

Yeah... They said they sent me every thing I was going to need. guess not, I didnt tighten the fitting just yet cuz I want sure if it was in the proper place, I hope its not messed up too. I may just replace it...

 

Ok, good deal! I just didnt want to hear about losing another 3rdgen due 2 fire....

 

You can simply use a unf tap to recut the threads carefully, as long as the taper seat isn't messed up and the threads are not completely stripped. -6AN is a 9/16-18 thread

 

finally got her all back together right now... now she wont start. hahaha ran out of light...

 

ok, still cant get her to start, Iv narrowed it down to the fuel pressure regulator. dont now anything about these. tryed turning the screw both ways, still cant get it to flow through? I have the vacume line hooked up too.... any ideas?

 

Feed & return hooked up properly or mixed up? The system should bleed itself and start quickly after install.

 

Yeah, the feed is hooked up to the regulator but that's as far as the fuel gose, coult the regulator be bad? Hopfully I'm doin it wrong

 

The feed hooks to the fuel line, the return to the regulator

 

A lil bit of the right info gose a loin way, thanks again!

 

She starts but won't stay running, what fuel pressure should I be running?

 

around 36 w/ reference line hooked up, with no ref line it should be around 42

did you set minimum air & adjust TPS?

 

I recomend setting your fuel psi 2 48-50 with vac line disconected..

 

The vac line is hooked up, running great at 40, but stalls if I put it in drive or reverse. Getting closer! Iv connected all vac lines...

 

Here's a video of hoeme its all hooked up, not sure where all the vac lines are supposed to go or what there for, all input will help, she still stalls when I drop it into gear unless I bring it up to 1500 RPM while I'm doing it.

For one, do not hook the map to a shared vac connection, t-ed like you have. Give it a dedicated line.

Secondly, what did you set the timing at? What's the idle rpm in P/N and does it drop a lot in gear?

 

IT'S ALIVE!!!!! Thanks guys, it was the timing, took her for a drive today! Still doggin a lil nothing a few tweeks wont fix. I'm just glad to he behind the wheel again.

 

I see why it stalls. The vac lines to the throttle are not hooked up. duh!

 

What vac lines am I missing? a vac line to the throttle body?

 

There are 3. The top one goes to the passenger side valve cover. The next one goes to the canister(smog) near the left head light. The small one under the throttle body goes to the egr solenoid.

 

Wow, I have no idea what lines go where.. egr valve isn't there anymore, the new miniram didn't have one.
