kenne bell!

[yellowstang03]

ok so i bit the bullet ordered the 2.1 kenne bell kit. installed it last night and finished it up today. i go to fill the car with antifreeze and find it leaking all over. so i investigate, on the passenger side of the intake manifold on the rear coolant port of the head is about half open??? the kenne bell intake doesnt cover the entire port? i am guessing they either forgot to send a block off plate of some sort or sent me the wrong charger. anyone else ever run into this or hear of this problem? im jacked.....especially having to wait till tuesday for answers.

never seen that before, sounds like the intake was made wrong.... its on a 2v?

[yellowstang03]

yup its a 2003 gt, drivers sides sticks out a good 2 inches further and covers fine. pass. side is way short, i have no idea why or how. i had to laugh because i was so jacked.

Mine looks exactly the same man it's just the way it fits. I'm not leaking, I think you have other issues cause the pics look just like mine!

i highly doubt that is correct. i have the 1.7 so mine could be slightly different, but mine def does not look like that. call kenne bell and see what they say. if coolant is coming out of that whole there is def a problem

[no1sirbutler]

man it honestly looks like either the gasket moved during installation or the manifold is on to far forward. if it was me I would pull the blower assembly off and start over. it has to be a misalignment issue.

The day I installed mine I freaked cause it looked that way and I did call kenne bell and they knew what I was talking about before I was finised talking..

this right here is why i say its an alignment issue. mine sits flush w/ the front of the engine.

^^^ Yours....



^^^ Mine...

[Chargin2004GT]

Yours is foward just a bit but mine is a 1.7l... But still like I said last night I think you just have something tweaked a little.. Check that valley tube and make sure it isnt holding the blower up enuf that it isnt sealing..

its all better now i took it apart and the gasket had a slight piece of dirt in the rear of it. its on and running. now i threw 2 engine codes.
P1000 OBD-II Monitor Testing Incomplete
P0174 System Too Lean - Bank No. 2.

[Chargin2004GT]

Clear them and see if they return.

the p1000 is nothing, it is usually on when the light is off... the other code could be from a vaccum leak on teh drivers side of the engine, or it could be just in need of a tune.. either way i wouldnt beat on it till everythings fixed..

Snap another pic now that is running so we can see how it fits because the pics you posted is not even close to fitting right. I see a coolant passage and a lower intake port (blue gasket seal) clear as day.

It's normal... He has it running... See my post it is the same.. And like I said when I called kenne bell they knew what I was talking bout before I finished asking the question..
