the only thing that I could not do on my own was remove the 14mm intake manifold bracket bolts, but my brother got them out for me.... I managed to get the rest of everything out myself.
While the manifold was out I put in a phenolic intake manifold gasket (old Honda trick I did on my Integra once upon a time), and I also removed the oem EGR valve, and slapped on the Buschur Racing aluminum blockoff plate. I also removed the intake manifold bracket as well, and probably saved like 1-2 pounds....
The next thing I gotta do is on the 65mm T-body is set the TPS to the correct voltage readings, and I will then think about doing the throttle body coolant bypass also....we'll see...

Well, I have some good news, everything is almost back together. I couldn't bang everything out in one day though... I worked on the car like 3 hours saturday and 3 hours sunday... Tomorrow I will do the finishing touches and fire up the car.

In the meantime, I'm gonna look at the position of the TPS on my stock t-body, and make sure it looks, lines up the same on my BR t-body.
Worse come to worse I'll have my brother set it for me... he has one of those tools... that we can set the TPS thing with...
