Hi all,

So I've found myself in the possession of a hypertune itb plenum for my rb26. Now looking at it, the space for the stud nuts to sit is pretty tight during installation and it's pretty large at cylinder 6.

Is this something that can be installed with the engine In the car? It looks like the clutch master and booster probably have to be pulled and possibly the rear cylinder runner studs cut down a bit to be able to slide it on. Otherwise remove cyl 6 runner from the plenum, bolt the runner to head then bolt back to plenum after installed?

I've pulled OEM plenums in car before and it's a prick but doable, but if this new plenum is impossible to install and the motor must be pulled then i wouldn't bother with the effort of removing OEM until the engine was out. Which I'd really like to avoid.

      Each to their own I guess  Me, I put just as much time into cleaning inside of the cars as I do on the outside As for getting wet, it is really no different than steam cleaning the carpets at home, apart from the cars carpet dries alot faster than the house, again, I only do it in the hotter months and leave the car opened up for a few hours As I only do it yearly, it is just before I do the diff and gearbox service, so I clean the carpets, then it's up on stands, wheels off, service, clean the undercarriage,  grease the bushings and do a nut and bolt check on everything  Disclaimer: I typically had all the time in the world to kill when I was working 馃ぃ, so spending a full day or 2 cleaning, serving and "looking at stuff" was,  easily achievable, and a fun mental therapy day As for time to kill, I retired last Wednesday, so apart from my physical training, my days are filled with lots of random jobs around the house and garden...."Idle hands are the Devils something something" I am also buying a new house sooner rather than later, I'm actually looking at a potential property tomorrow, I'm looking forward to getting a car hoist as I'm starting to get to old to crawl around under a car, I can only imagine all the undercarriage cleaning and looking at stuff when that gets set up
