lower intake manifold

[S13FX]

Hey guys Im doing the whole emissions removal and I am having a hard time taking off the lower intake manifold.

I got all the top bolts out, I got the two really long ones out, and I got the two on that plate on the bottom out, but this thing just wont budge.

Any advice will be appriciated.

Thank you

Well I figured it outm and im only running one vaccum line for the whole car.

there's 3 bolts on the bottom, as there are two supports, 1 bolt on one of em, 2 on the other, also, if you can remove the supports totally, you can drop the plenum, if not you have to remove the whole thing more or less, which involves lots of prying

How did u manage using only one vaccum line for the whole car?

Well ony vaccum line I use is for the FPR, really only thing that needed a vacume line was the EGR crap, everything else was just fine. This is also on a SOHC so it might be different for DOHC's. So I removed all the EGR stuff, since I don't have to do emissions anymore.
