tune change?

Is a new tune required? The oxygen sensor will still be on there.

You should get one since the sensor is moved back away from the engine and it could make the PCM screwy when trying to adjust fuel trims.

Fixed.

My O2 sensors reached did not need to be extended. Just some information for someone.

It is easy. Jack the engine up is not that crazy....you just put a jack under it and pump the jack...

I did mine in the drive way for the first time and it only took a couple of and a couple of hours.

If you're doing it on jack stands, have plenty of beer at hand. Hell, have plenty of beer at hand either way!!!

Takes a long time to get the space but its worth it. I removed dipstick, steering rod, starter motor and engine mounts. As I was on my own, it was easier with all the extra space.

 

[scramblr]

I did the same thing. Not necessary, but I had time and wanted the room.

 

[Forward Performance]

Same here removed all of the above.

Cool instructions. I am doing a LT install on my friends 4v atm, had to drop the K and all that jazz. When i get a chance im going to look under my 08 and see how hard this will be. I never have been a fan of the whole jacking of the motor thing.

 

[95PGTech]

Not as difficult on the 3V, fortunately.

Looks to be alot easier than the install on my 96 gt. I did not want to go through this again but I may have to rethink it. Emissions is the only worry now...

I just installed Kooks LT about 2wks ago. I all removed was the starter and motor mount bracket that I was working on. Other than that I just took the top motor mount nut on side I was working on and loosened the opposite side nut to the top but not removed. Had plenty of room

i am working on this but am having trouble getting steering shaft loose is there a way to get it to slide off without unbolting the steering rack?

 

[808muscle]

I took off the huge bolt on the passenger side, then loosened the drivers side one. With help I was then able to move the shaft over. We used a breaker bar on the huge PIA bolt.

 

[TheJimmy]

are you talking about removing the steering rack bolts off? if so it shouldnt be huge pain it was off 3 months ago when installing BMR K Member

 

[Tylus]
