Need help with modding my IM!

found a bit that tears the hell out of the aluminum for my dremel , but i was wondering if i can get away without touching the top half of the im. i really dont even want to touch that part lol
 
A dremel can do it, but honestly, you should be looking at a larger more capable tool...
 
The only other tool I've been using is a drill with different sized bits. Idk what other kind of tools to try lol

Completed and installed turns out its a 626 mani and it was revving to 3k without any gas and saying it had 10 vacuum . Total waste of 3 days idk what I did wrong
 
man that sucks. sorry to hear about that. wish i could help you out. maybe someone else can jump in here
 
Should not... Unless it will severely restrict flow..

The pipe is available at Scrap years and the dealer.. ($$$ WOW $$$)

The -10 Vac could be an open hole... or a leaky Manifold Gasket.
 
ok as for the egr pipe , there are 3 proteges at a pick n pull junk yard by me, their years are 99 01 01. will those egr pipes work?

Yes as long as they come with a 2.0 FSDE in them. I don't know about the 1.8's though. I recently swapped over the entire IM from my MSP to my P5 including the EGR Pipe. Everything is the same. I have a 626 Manifold for the MSP including the 626 EGR pipe as to why I swapped it over.

Ahh perfect , I was just thinking that it was pointless to clean the egr when I did if the valve wasn't even going to see much exhaust anyway . I have been getting bad gas milage too, about 220 to the tank
 
I doubt you did anything wrong per se. The 3k rpm idle has to be due to your throttle or IAC. I am pretty sure a vacuum leak that big would cause the engine to stall.

Since you are running at 3k rpms steady, -10 psi may be about right. I wouldn't give up on that manifold after putting all that work into it. Being a JDM or 626 isn't what is causing the 3k idle.

I wouldn't mind taking it off your hands for $50 though.
