i heard that the f23 intake manifold is a upgrade to the f22? it this tru?

 

This is true, I know of a few people that have done it, and its not an easy swap.

 

what has to be done to get this in?

 

- F23ax intake manifold (both lower and plenums)*
- F22/23 Throttlebody*
- F23 fuel Rail*
- IACV Adapter plate (from G5A)**
- 2' 3/8" hose
- 6' 5/16" hose (rated for coolant)
- 4' vacuum hose
- Gasket Scraper (razor style)
- 320grit sand paper
- 8 butt connectors
- 6' 16ga wire
- 6' wire loom
- 8 4" pieces of shrink wrap
- coolant rated adapter for hose to hose
- vacum rated hose to hose reducer
- F22/23 TB gasket*
- F22/23 IM gasket (lower plenum-head)*
- F23 upper-lower plenum gasket
- EGR gasket (f22/23)
- IACV Gasket (f22)
- 1 M6x26x1.00 flat head screw
- 1 M6x40x1.00 flanged bolt
- 1 M8x30x1.25 flanged bolt

People usually have problems making it idle after the swap.

 

I believe there's a thread at gen5alive but cant remember for sure. in all honesty i hear its not worth the effort. personally im working on modifying a stock f22 manifold. cleaning, porting, polishing. im gonna post results eventually lol.

 

Yeah there are a few threads about it on there, thats where I got that list from.

 

yeah i wasnt sure lol. i here its some high end power with the IM. by the way rice i found a guy to help me do the modifying. im hopin to see some improvement.

 

^Believe me,you will see improvements,and guaranteed satisfaction with a good port and polish.
