2014 - L26 Aluminum UIM Swap

May 26, 2014

Description:
- An L67 Throttle Body (custom porting)
- Some custom porting to the L26 UIM
- L26 HV3 (I have already been running a L36 HV3 in my L36 UIM for a couple years now)
- Black powder coated L26 UIM/L67 Throttle Body adapter
- Black powder coated fuel rail and red injector clips
- Stainless steel LIM/UIM (and some mic) bolts from www.alloyboltz.com
- Got rid of the bracket in the back (used to hold the connector for the O2 sensor, help hold the engine cover and if you have an air pump, holds that too).

Only issues I had with this swap:
- Had to bend the brake lines so they don't hit the throttle body
- Getting the air ducting together from the throttle body into the Wizaird box (I took the box apart and put the ducting on the throttle body and then put the box back together).
- Over coming the change in the PCV system from the L36 to the L26.

Before trimming the gasket so it did not show outside the UIM.  Marks with silver Sharpie show where the cuts are being made.

trimmed the gasket so it did not sneak into the air way and so none of it stuck out beyond the the throttle body.
