Well I'm going to build my own kit but first i want to know how to install it. I have a little idea on my mind on how to do it. Let's see if it's correct.
1. Disconnect the battery. Remove battery and the battery tray.
2. Using floor jack, elevate front end and place securely on jack stands.
3. Drain the coolant from the radiator. Capture and save for re-use.
4. Remove both upper and lower radiator hoses.
5. Remove front bumper.
6. Remove both headlights.
7. Remove steel inner bumper.
8. Remove the entire air cleaner assembly, including housing, ducting, and the MAF sensor.
9. Disconnect and remove horns.
10. Remove dipstick and dipstick tube.
11. Remove exhaust manifold. Remove oxygen sensor from manifold for reuse.
12. Loosen alternator tensioner and remove alternator belt.
13. Remove power steering pump belt and then pump (Note: Do not remove lines from pump, lay pump over towards inner fender).
14. Remove power steering pump bracket.
15. Remove bracket holding wires to Crank Position Sensor and Oil Temp Sensor.
16. Remove all electrical connections from the intake manifold. This includes disconnecting all sensor plugs from the throttle body and manifold, removing the fuel injector wiring harness, removing the ground strap, and disconnecting the knock sensor.
17. Disconnect the throttle and cruise control cables from the throttle body and lay cables to sides of engine bay.
18. Disconnect the fuel rail supply hose. Remove fuel rail, complete with injectors.
19. Disconnect the hose from the EVAP canister to the manifold, and unclip canister from manifold.
20. Disconnect the brake booster hose from manifold.
21. Remove the support stay bolts from the manifold.
22. Disconnect plug wires and remove coils.
23. Remove the upper portion of the timing belt cover and locate the timing marks on the cam wheel.
24. Set the engine to TDC and check the cam timing marks to ensure TDC.
Remove cam belt tensioner and slip belt off cam gear.
25. Remove cam cover, head bolts and raise cylinder head. (Note: For ease of head removal use engine hoist to lift head.)
26. Install low compression head gasket
Re-install cylinder head. Torque head bolts to factory specifications.
27. Reinstall cam belt and tensioner. (Note: Cam is to be installed slightly advanced!)
28. Reinstall all components removed in previous steps, except fuel rail. (Note: It will be necessary to loosen lower manifold support stays and raise them slightly to compensate for head spacer.)
29.- Install exhaust manifold and turbine?
30.- Oil and water cooling?
31.- Intercooler install?
32.- Block PCV?
That parts i don't understand it very well if someone can explain it to me.
Please do not tell me that it's better to take all the parts and go to a professional. I want to know how to do it by myself if it can be possible.
