Intake manifold?

lilspanky9119 · October 11th, 2010, 10:11 AM

I have a PI intake kit from livernoise motorsport, someone had told me that I cannot get PI heads b/c I have this kit on there, that isnt true correct? He said something like it has an over sized rail on the sides that do not allow for upgraded heads, I think he is dumb, but I could be wrong. thought id ask

If you have a PI intake theres no reason you cant get PI heads and put them on

lilspanky9119 · October 11th, 2010, 10:16 AM

thats what I thought, he must be dumb. Im looking into some PI heads as well. Whats the installation process like ? Shark bait I swear I saw the exact same car as you this weekend, ( the same from the outside lol )

I don't see why not. If you install that intake on PI heads without the adapters, it should bolt on like it's supposed to. I think the platform for the plenum has been shaved for hood clearance which shouldn't affect the heads at all.

sharkbait · October 11th, 2010, 10:20 AM

PI heads and PI intakes are stock on the other GTs. They work together...also 99392309 people on this forum are pi swapped and it all works for them.

theres a thread around here somewere on the pi swap

lol and you shoulda taken a picture. They probobly have good taste though

also the PI intake isnt any taller. Fits fine under a stock hood.....i mean no were close to being an issue

Livernois modifies their PI intakes that come with the Non-PI adapters for hood clearance (due to the extra rise from the adapters). A PI intake will fit under a stock hood with no problems when the adapters are not used.

lilspanky9119 · October 11th, 2010, 10:27 AM

ok cool, thanks guys. So I will probably end up getting some PI heads, headers and a tune within a month or two. After that Im looking to get some cams.

Back2Mustangs · October 11th, 2010, 10:31 AM

If you're going to do the head swap yourself, I would wait until you have the cam's so you only have to do this once.

lilspanky9119 · October 11th, 2010, 10:33 AM

hmm...I will do that. I might just get headers and tune first, then go with cams and PI heads next. Good point^^ thanks. After these installs, the cams headers, heads, and tune I will be saving for forced induction..will be a longgg time but that will be my next mod to save for. Definitely want to go Kenne Bell, do it right.

Back2Mustangs · October 11th, 2010, 10:53 PM

Dang, every one of these threads turns into a classified ad. F***-it... I'm about to post my PI heads in the classifieds. They are '02 PI heads with 15k miles on them and CompCams springs for cam's w/up to .550 lift.

Got custom grind Kenne Bell blower cam's in 'em too.

I'd wait on the headers too , The easiest way(imo) to swap heads is droping the motor+k out the bottom , which would make headers a breeze !!!

Wow, I didn't even think of that.

Lilspanky, can you post a pic of your current intake please. The only intake you cannot use with pi heads is a svo intake. We just want to make sure that isn't what you have on there now.

lilspanky9119 · October 12th, 2010, 08:40 AM

I have PI intake, im at work now but around noon I will take a pic and post it up here

97S281 · October 12th, 2010, 10:00 AM

Or this:

You will have to watch if you put forced induction on a NPI motor with PI heads because it takes your compression ratio to over 10.5:1 a little high !!
