Thread: L36 UIM to L26 UIM Swap help

Hey guys, I searched and know it is on here somewhere.

I have a an L26 UIM in the attic and am ready to send it off for polishing since I am still pending the motor swap.

Is the L36 to L26 UIM swap a direct bolt on. As far as to my L36 block and original L36 throttle body, etc...

In other words, can I switch the plastic L36 plenum with the aluminum L26 manifold without having to replace anything else (outside of the manifold gasket)?

Plug the LIM coolant ports. (see a how to thread I posted yesterday). Then it should need a Gen V to L67 TB adapter and IIRC you route the pcv to behind the TB blade. I think it's behind.. can someone please confirm that.

hey does anyone have a picture of where i can route the pcv to on the TB.

also on the l26 intake, what do i do with the sensor spot on the right side of the TB. do i just plug the hole?

Or use that for your evap soleniod

which looks like what and is currently connected where on the L36.

if someone can post some pics of an installed L26 intake on an L36 engine, i think everyone would be grateful

i have a picture of my old motor, gotta find it when i get home.

i did an L26 intake swap on my car when i was still n/a.

here it is, probably cant tell anything from it though:

thats a purple candy powdercoat. i bought it already powdercoated that color from a clubgp member that was demodding his CSC car.

yeah kinda hard to see things up by the TB area

I'm getting ready to drop the L26 in my 98 gt, SOOOOOO I'm looking at getting headers and the er rockers and i'll finally be done with the engine.

Then all i have to do is body work

Man oh man.

Ok guys i need a clear and done answer and pictures on this pcv hook up. I've read through everything i can find and some of it doesnt make sense.
