I know there are not too many people that have had the charge motion plates installed yet. I was wondering what was involved in the installation. I'm mechanically inclined and not affraid to install them myself.

 

Yes I installed them last Saturday. Everything went real smooth. If you have any questions about what is involved just let me know...I'll be happy to help.

 

Is it pretty much a swap out or are there gaskets and such to work with. How long did it take you. I honestly haven't even popped the hood to look at the factory ones-if they can be seen.

 

There are four "gaskets" per plate(one for each runner) that you take off the stock plates and reuse. It took a couple hours tops...just keep the fuel rails and injectors all in one piece when you take them off and the upper intake has five bolts per side. You just have to disconnect various vacuum hoses, sensors, etc. and thats pretty much it...good luck, you definetly feel it pull above 3k rpm

 

2K5 is there any problems at low speed while driving in city limits/stop and go?

 

I guess it depends on what you think is a problem...the plates are designed to help you make numbers in the upper RPM range. When you are "racing" your car and shifting you are in the upper RPM range and taking full advantage of the mod. My car is a daily driver, so I haven't seen anything from regular driving that would make me not consider this mod. All side and done your 250 bucks goes a long ways IMO

 

ANy problems with sensors since the motor does not turn the buttterflies ? Also, did you get a tune for it or did it just accept it ?

I went to the track tonight and was talking with a guy about these. He said they don't like cold weather. With the cold weather, it turns the check engine light on. Don't know why. I didn't get to ask him that, it was time to get to my car to race!

 

And?
