Thats awesome. It's great that they have a special pipe for the 06. TN gave up on trying to make a 2006 specific kit. Kudos to Intense!

 

im glad also. im considering getting a tuner kit when i do my build.

 

yeah i saw the 06 intense did with the pl kit and it didnt look that hard (compared to me running a 3.5" dp )... i dunno why tn never put the effort to....i think they are actually discontinuing their kit now? if true

 

when installing the new oil pan spacer should i use any thing? RTV maybe ??

thanks

 

be very careful at this point of the install. u dont want to mess up the edge/rim of the oilpan. if u do it wont seal correctly. just make sure u use a good brand silicone gasket sealer with hi heat resistance since oil heats up pretty hot. also remember to let the silicone harden and form a gasket before startup.

 

I just went to a local NAPA and got 2 oil pan gaskets and didnt use any rtv.....and no leaks for allmost 2 years.

 

Does anyone know where i can get this fitting circled in red? I belive it is a AN fitting.iI guess they forgot it in my kit. also where does this silver piece go, nothing about it in the directions? the directions totaly skip over installing the oil lines, the coolant lines and the PCV?? Jeffies thread briefly explains it but does not show where everything goes.


thanks keith

 

Here is one more pic of that fitting.

 

No idea what that 2nd part was for either. My kit came with it also but I think it's for the Rev up motor possibly? Someone from Intense chime in on this?

 

I have a revup motor. Like i said the directions do not say anything about it.

 

Teflon tape.... That's what I used, both going into the oil pan spacer, and attaching the return line to the piece that attaches to the oil pan spacer.

just MAKE SURE there's no extra tape hanging out into the hole, roll it back with your finger before screwing it in.

Yes, they skip over that, as with about 70% of the install.

any questions post them here, and PM me if I don't reply to them since I might not see it.

I used teflon tape on most everything, somewhere it says not to use it, as long as you MAKE SURE it's not blocking the hole, (again by rolling it back with your thumb) you will be fine.

 

The silver piece is the oil pick up spacer....

 

shocking that TN gave up.....................kind of like their Stage 2 kit.

 

DOH!!!!!! I sure hope you guys installed that.....otherwise your oil pickup is sittin up rather high and you are never using all the capacity of your available oil.

 

That thing is the oil "pick up" spacer. I don't think it's required but highly recommended.. Oil starvation leads to...

 

So that lil pice attaches to the Oil pan spacer that they provide? There arn't any screw holes in it or anything how would you attach it?

 

The oil pick-up spacer is REQUIRED when using an oil pan spacer. If you don't space the pick-up down the same distance as the pan spacer, you motor can experience oil starvation.

 

Anyone have a picture of where it mounts or how it's mounted? Instructions didn't even say anything about that piece!

 

Keith we apologize for the lack of information in the directions. Seems that there were a few pages missing and we are working on improving the installation manual.

as for the fitting that goes from the oil pan spacer to the 45 degree -8 pushlock, pretty sure it was in there but no biggie, we're going to over night it for ya. Let me know if you have any further questions, i plan on taking a lot of pictures for the install, the previous instructions we're a little too un-informative

thanks Marc

 

to install the aluminum oil pickup spacer, you need to:

1) unbolt the oil pick from the engine (oil pump actually).
2) place the spacer between the pickup and the oil pump.
3) install supplied longer bolts through the pickup and speacer.
4) hand thread bolts into the oil pump, then torque to spec.

I am assuming these are the instructions for this item. there's not a whole lot of other ways that this item could be installed. additionally, they may or may not want you to use some rtv on both sides of the spacer.
