Will the plastic upper intake out of a g4 vulcan bolt right onto a g3 vulcan



Thanks

yes

what would the advantage be of using the plastic intake rather then the stock one?

 

[silvapain]

no heat transfer to the IAT or MAF. less prone to detonation. Using a phenolic spacer does practically the same thing.

The plastic intake is like 20 or 30lb lighter.

 

[JasonBVHS]

How hard would it be to swap the 2?

 

[J Rod]

hardest part should be the wires for the sensors and possibly the throttle cable

 

[nosho96gl]

so its not just swapping them out things need to be changed

 

[greenstreak]

I don't think you actually need to change anything. You should only have to unhook and reattach cables, sensors, etc., so it shouldn't be too tough. I was thinking of doing this myself eventually.

 

[baby sho]

you will save 10-15lb max, not 20-30

I don't think so. The gen 4 Duratec is more curvy twards the bottom. (see attached picture.) The gen 3 Duratec is just straight. It might, though.

Heres a picture of the Duratec from my old 1999 Taurus. See the difference? It's very close...but....I don't think it will fit.

 

[baby sho]

it will bolt right up....the only down side is that they are oval port to the lim, and the metal ones devide into two 35 mm holes into the lim.

would a gen4 duratec intake fit onto a gen4 vulcan intake?? And if so would their be any gain to this if they are both plastic?

 

[baby sho]

nope....completely different....
