PI intake to NPI heads adapter plates...

[stonegod85]

does anyone know if you can get these adapter plates anymore...i know a guy at unitedmajority.com made them for a while recently, but i can't get a hold of him and i'd rather do the plates than use the pi gaskets and do the silicone in the coolant (holes or whatever they are) so that way there are no problems the first time and it goes smoothly....can someone help me out here or no of anyone who has them and wants to sell them?

Bought my kit today... lil pricey, but well worth the reassurement in my book.
Also, you can buy just the plates from them for $300 so I've heard.. have to call to do that.

Try ebay...some show up on there every now and then.

I got my kit from livernois too, when I got mine the guy told me I could buy just the plates but the intake would not work unless it had been modified the way they do theirs. The height would be too tall if a regular PI intake was used insted of the one they sell in the kit that had been modified. I am very happy with mine before and after dyno numbers showed a gain of 18hp, $600 is a lot for the kit but I feel pretty good about the power gained and the feel of the car now thru the rpm range too.

dang it..i wish the guy from unitedmajority.com was still making them..i pm'd him and sent an email but no response.....livernoise or whatever , there prices are rediculous. you pay more for the plates than for the actual intake

looks like i will be doing it the old fashion way...speaking of which does anyone have a link to a thread that explains how to make the pi intake work on the NPI heads using the pi gaskets?...if so you're the man and/or woman!!!

All you need to do is put a little bit of RTV sealant on two of the coolant ports. The front on the passenger side head and rear on the driver side head. The gasket almost perfectly fits, I have a picture in a thread on stangnet. When I find that thread I will link it here.

that would help alot

This is the thread where I show a picture of a SVO head and PI gasket, my thumb points out where you need to apply the RTV sealant.

Now there a few other things you need to do this swap. I don't remember everything right now.

Just finished my swap here!

The check engine came on when I was test driving it... all slow driving... also, there's a ticking coming from the engine bay?

Anyone else who swaped to the PI intake get an engine light??

 

[stonegod85]

did you use the rtv method or did you use the plates? i don't know if this would be a reason behind that ...i would just like to know.

 

[Na5.0HO]

I used the Livernois plates... install wasn't too bad, no leaks though

 

[kboy262]

I never recieved an engine light with my intake install.

$650 bucks!! ouch, my wallet hurts!!

For another $650 you could buy the entire PI conversion from Parkway Ford and bolt on 80 hp. While opening the door to future mods.
