C&L plenum gaskets and hardware

[EH819]

I just ordered the C&L upper intake plenum and I was wondering if there are any additional hardware or gaskets that I have to buy for it? Thanks for any help.

No, just reuse the stock one at least on the intake side (its more of a rubber O ring than a gasket). I changed throttle bodies when I installed mine and the new throttle body came with a gasket, however the stock one was in good shape and could probably be reused. One word of caution my stock rubber intake tube had a paper sticker uner the hose clamp, you probably don't want that being sucked into the engine.

You might want to get a new egr gasket

Do you mean IAC gasket?

No but that would be a good idea too

Where would be the best place to get an IAC and EGR gasket? Would a local ford dealer have it in stock?

if u use a 75mm TB and want to use a stock tb gasket that will just interfare with the airflow cause that gasket's diameter is 65mm

Thanks for the heads up, but I will just be using the stock TB for now.

u will feel some gain, but honestly the 75mm what wakes up the intake

Enjoy the whipping that is trying to remove the TPS!!! I just broke down and bought a new one.....

Hmmm, I was just going to buy the 01+ hood scoop for my car now and wait till I save up some more money for the 75mm tb, but now you have me thinking and I may switch up and get the tb next.

How much does a new TPS go for, incase I can't get mine off?

 

[2k2SilverBullet]

actually the easiest way to take the tps sensor off is this.
get a drill bit that is about 3-4mm in width. start drilling at the center of the screw, put the T/B in a vise....drill until the head falls off takes about 10 sec for each screw.

A new TPS from ford, if memory serves me correctly, was like 30 bucks????? I had to buy a new one after, mind you I didn't have a vice to keep the intake steady, I drilled into it trying to do what 2K2SILVERBULLET says...

 

[2k2SilverBullet]

it didnt work for ya?

 

[scalder]

It would have for sure if it hadn't slipped off the screw....totally my blunder.
