Anybody install an IMS intake in a C4 chassis on here?

...and possibly have some pix of the install? I'm looking down at this and wondering what others have done as there are a few things that need to be done to make it fit. I've been talking to Hank about this as well but it would be great to see what others have done.

Which one? I'm pretty sure a few have

Not in a C4, but Hank was awesome custom making an intake for my 200. If he can make an intake for a side mount 200 engine bay with forward throttle body just through pictures and phone conversations, he will surly kick a C4's ass.

The intake for the AAN. The throttle body orientation is not so PnP. Bummer because, while I did expect to have to do some smaller "massaging" to get it to fit, this thing will need a bit more work.

Pics are handy.

I'll post some up when I'm on my computer...

This.

Thanks for that pic! That helps a lot! Do you have any of it from the left side of the car?

The biggest problem I'm having is that the throttle body flange is angle much lower than what it looks like yours is. The install is on hold as it is going back to Hank for him to look at a couple of things with it...

The only other one I have is this one...for comparison. (its not my manifold)

HTH,

That does help Dave, Thanks.

Local guy, not the best pics, but hope it helps somewhat. I don't think I have his contact info, otherwise I'd put you in touch with him.

I was the first to install one, so far as I know. I'm still running it on my avant. I hate cruise control, so loosing that was a no brainer. Other than that it was a cake walk...little things like bending the dipstick tube to fit, using an old silicone heater hose to route ISV, tucking the ISV in place. If you have any specific questions feel free to pm me. If you need I'll pm my cell # to make things easier.

Thanks Rob. My biggest issue is the angle of the throttle body flange pointing too far downward. Hank is going to address that this coming week(hopefully). Once that gets sorted, I'll get back into it. I'm sure at that point I'll have some questions. One of which is the best way to get at the lower bolts to tighten them. I am going to try to get the cruise to work only because long straight stretches(like I-70 in KS.) can fatigue the right leg quite a bit. Other than that, rarely use it. It doesn't look too hard to re-orient the actuator, but I might be wrong...

I have a set of long wobbly hex bits that worked well for the lower bolts.
