120188, How many bolts on upper intake plenum? And where?
Posted by Luis_98eclipseRS, Jan-25-07 10:24 AM
Ive already searched alot before i asked this and ive gotten really far with the information ive gathered but the only thing i couldnt find was how many bolts are there in the upper intake plenum. I thought there were 4 and i struggleg to get them out but when i went to pull the intake up nothing moved. I already removed everything else. Also if someone can draw a diagram of where they are at would be great. Thanks in advance guys.

They don't connect to the upper intake plenum.



That'll give you a good idea.

Thanks man that does help and I think I see the bolt that i missed. I knew about the braces on the lower plenum but i didnt think there was any on the upper. Thought i might have missed them.

Sorry, I mis-read your post, thought you meant the whole thing.

There are 5 that connect the upper plenum to the lower. There is also a brace on the front under the throttle cable.

I believe there are 6 that connect the lower to the head, and then 2 for the braces.

Good luck!
