You may have better luck in the regional forum section.

There's no point unless you want a header that doesn't have provisions for secondary AIR. It'd only be a weight saving mod.

yes i want vibrant. and im planning on supercharging in the future

just unbolt it...

you'll throw a CEL until you have that CEL turned off though, but its probably 20 minutes total

thats the stupid way to do it.

HunterKiller89

wtf you talking about? thats the only way to do it... You could leave it plugged in and just dangling there if you want to run the header and not throw a CEL, but THATS the stupid way to do it

i want to remove everything the hoses and pump and wiring

HunterKiller89

iTrader: (1)

ok...then unbolt it. like i said...
3 bolts easily reached from underneath secure the pump, then just undo the couplers and pull the whole thing out. you'll need to block off the intake line though and cant do this until you have your header too.

gotta have some faith in me man

im local and willing to help u but like hunterkill89 said there is actually 2 bolts by the header that need to come off and 3 down by oil pan once that is done unplug the wiring and pull the piping and everything out it will drop easy as pie

blackrocky

Leave the AIR alone

we did a SAI Delete on my car when we supercharged it. cut the hoses and took the pump right the **** out. and u also can unplug the plug for it behind the block. all it does is blow air into the manifold anyways, so pointless..

i recomend doing it when u build ur car, otherwise its poointless and u will get a CEL, you just need to tune it out.

does it go from the airbox down into the block? if i remove it how do i cover these holes?

blackrocky

Why?

HunterKiller89

iTrader: (1)

i think the LAP one might, but the L61 doesnt
why leave it? just dead weight

royce777

iTrader: (29)

not just dead wait. more header options. and supercharging possibly

Coby The Killer

u should have a hose coming out of the air box coming down to the pump which is just held on down there by a band and will come right off u wont have any holes when u r done

royce777

iTrader: (29)

yeah but is the pump right behind my valve cover?

HunterKiller89

iTrader: (1)

better pick will help. looks like you have the newer SAI setup Gene Culley had that setup and he removed his, but it was a bit different than mine

bboyfreeflow

no thats not the pump, thats just the plug, and there will be a hole in that part but its fine, its not going anywhere.... like that other dude said, most likely, from the airbox, ur hose goes down into the pump, then into the manifold...just follow that hose.

royce777

iTrader: (29)

yeah i followed it. it comes up too that. but where will there be a hole?

HunterKiller89

iTrader: (1)

in the exhaust manifold

royce777

iTrader: (29)

oh okay but i dont get where it blows air into?

HunterKiller89

iTrader: (1)

...it blows air into the exhaust manifold. Would you like me to find my old manifold?
