Like the subject says, I just did the PI intake on NPI heads swap and everything was pretty straight forward.


Now the questions...

When I initially started the car after the swap, it idled perfectly, if a little higher than normal. After about 10 minutes or so of gathering up and putting away my tools, I grabbed the throttle linkage and gave it a little rap just to see how the car sounded. It did a slight bog and then gave a single small back-fire pop through the intake. It only did it that one time. Is that normal or to be expected while the car is re-learning everything? It hasn't done it since nor while I was test driving it so until I hear differently, I'm going to chalk it up as a fluke.

My impression of the car after the swap is that it seems to have a bit more pep and throttle response. Did any of the rest of you notice that? I'm going to give it a few days of normal driving to see how it acts when it has learned everything over again.

My tech article on how to do the swap will be up in a couple of days but will be without pictures. I just didn't have the time to slow down and take pictures and I couldn't find the charger for my camera's battery packs anyway.

Frank and I will be doing the intake AND cam swap soon, I'll make sure to take plenty of pics.

first time I cranked up my 02 explorer engine and after letting it idle I snapped the throttle and she popped out the exahust and stalled rofl. She never did after I let her run for a few days.

I'd chalk it up to your computer be confused with all that new found air flow.

Did you have to do much port matching on the heads? Maybe that is not as necessary on a 96 vs a 94?

Thanks
