So today I went and removed the intake manifold that I will be using for this swap. I will figure out what emissions BS can be removed, but I have the intake, wiring and computer off of a 1990 240SX. apparently the wiring is easier to deal with (although wiring doesent bother me) and its not integrated into the body harness.......But I decided to clean er up, and I also decided to strip the upper intake off and paint it body color, so here is some oics of my afternoon,

 

The intake

All stripped down. I used an acid wash to help etch the metal, and in the next oic some metal etching primer. this helps the material stick to the bare metal

Then in these next two oics, I used my mini random orbital sander, and sanded off all of the color/primer on the finned part of the manifold, all along where it says ECCS

after using air to blow away all of the dust from sanding, and wiping with a tack cloth quickly, I applied the clear coat!

Thanks for looking

Bill, here is an intake that I purchase last year. The guy was building a ka24e-t and removed all the bs that wasnt needed. He changed direction so I picked it up just incase of a ka swap.
