Car back to stock...man I mis my Procede!

Chefcg1 · 07-20-2010, 12:07 PM

Took everything of my car yesterday, DP's, Injen, Helix IC, Catch can and procede. Took me just under 2 hours to do it all..yeah I'm getting pretty fast at it. Now off to the dealer it hopefull get a new HPFP!

One thing I noticed when taking off my mods. MY DIY catch can works like a charm! Not any oil at all in my IC.

I hate to say it but the car feels so slow now without my Procede. I can not wait to get it back on.

2 hours, man that's a quick uninstall... I'm sure it will be fun to get it all put back together.

Chefcg1 · 07-20-2010, 12:16 PM

The DP's are pretty easy when you don't have those side support bolts to try and get at and when the O2 sensors are not factory tight.

I forgot to mention to anyone who has the VK DP's. I inspected mine very well after taking them off and they look perfect! not a single weld issue, besides now being yellowed from the heat they look as good as the day I put them on 10k miles ago.

wow...that is fast for that...Your lucky that you live where there is no salt for the snow....Main reason why your dps show no signs of weathering....I bet if you lived further up the east coast they would look totally different!

How do you get under the car for the uninstall? Jack stands / ramps / home lift

?

If the answer is anything other than a home lift, color me very impressed. You should just take the BMW fuel pump home and put it in yourself!!

Wow that impressive time to remove all that.

Really gives you an appreciation about how quick the cars are when fully moded.

jack stands and a lot of coffee, plus lots of wrench time on many different cars.

you know after one of the worst winters in the past 50 years in NC with many snow storms which we hardy ever see and knowing the winters up north; I'm a yank. The quality of the dp's is top notch.

boom · 07-20-2010, 10:10 PM

No fauken way you did all that in 2 hrs.

Forcefed3 · 07-20-2010, 10:19 PM

i can believe it, if youve been working on cars your whole life.

vettegator005 · 07-20-2010, 10:21 PM

How hard is it to take off the Down pipes? Im wondering for emission issues?

Chefcg1 · 07-21-2010, 09:18 AM

you would be surprised that after you do all of it once or twice it doesn't take very long as you know all the little tricks like wrench angles. I will say that when it came to the DP removal, the after market ones take less time than removing the stockers. This is because the O2's have been broken loose and the side support nuts are not there. I also learned that if you turn the steering wheel hard to the left it gives you a lot more room to move the steering rack and thus a lot more room to reach up to the dp's. This is not possible if you do the install on ramps.
speed of part removal or install was not why I posted it was because of me missing all the power from my tune!

AltecBX · 07-21-2010, 10:15 AM

DAMN! 2 Hours for Downpipes, Intake, Inter-Cooler, Oil CatchCan and Tune. (5 items)
Average of 25 min each....You're the man.

Let us know how long it takes you to put it all back on...

zeenon53 · 07-21-2010, 11:00 AM

Sounds like you have done this before, good job! Hopefully the dealer won't notice anything out of the ordinary.

dzenno · 07-21-2010, 11:20 AM

In my case:

intake < 5mins
tune < 15 mins
catch can < 5 mins
intercooler < 20 mins

TOTAL: 45 mins

For DPs though I'm sure it'd take me more than 1hr15mins...more like 2 hours
