So how long did it take you?

I mounted my Fiebruz Intake spacers in about an hour by myself.

I wasn't timing, but it probably took me about 3 hours. It would have been less if I hadn't dropped a couple of bolts and had to pull the under panel.

I see your posts a lot about the Fiebruz spacers, but no one seems to be able to find/buy them other then a link on their Facebook page. It doesn't seem they are for sale to the general public yet.

As for installing them in an hour, it may be possible, but for anyone trying this for the first time I wouldn't plan on it. It's it's a tricky install, take your time.

Yep first thing I did when I started working was disconnect the battery. Really a good idea when doing any work in the engine bay.

I had a hard time lifting everything... from driver side what a PITA, we had to disconnect a few more wire to be able to fit it. passenger side was a piece of cake but, I didn't seem to need the new tube or even the zip-tie? everything was nice and tight.

I disconnected the negative battery not sure the ECU reset? I loved the way it drove on the side streets, then a 60 mile trip back to my house mostly freeway. Driving up my hill check engine & traction control light pop on

Yeah I had the same problem with the drivers side.

Are you running any kind of a tune? I haven't had any problems but I'm running OFT Stage 1 tune. They don't have an off the shelf tune for powerblocks on an automatic.

You have to call them, in fact I was there today and they had 2 in stock... As for installing them in an hour... if you have basic mehcanical knowledge its possible... I had never done such a mod before. I just followed the crawford BPB install someone did on youtube.

There's a guy in australia that has them already

Did you guys used the gasket between the intake manifold and the intake blocks?

I did install them in about an hour. I can do it now in about 25 .
Did you leave the gasket between intake manifold and the blocks?

Yes, you have to, otherwhise it'll have an air leak.

Update install I let one of the gaskets pop out on the Power block and didn't notice until I got home and let the motor cool, of course it is on the drivers side.

well it took just over 2 hours for the first install let's hope I can get it down to about an hour for the reinstall

Hello everyone. I have a Greddy intake, which has a hard plastic intake tube. How bad is the intake going to fit with the increase height of the intake tube?

Thanks in advance!
