Vaccum leak is the FIRST thing that comes to mind...
Get some soapy water and a spray bottle and start sprayin!

Slowly but surely may some day win this race...
upper to lower intake manifold gasket not sealing...that was always my problem.
so, how did you do it? I WANT PICS!!!!

..................Which car will hit 400 whp first???..................
I figured it out. Since the old manifold is side feed (obvious) it was sucking in air from the fuel ports on the sides of the manifold like there the FPR went and where on the other side where the fuel came in. taped up and runs great now. ill get some pics on here asap. i developed my own way of doing this which eliminated the need for a spacer!!!!!! i should get a patent for it lol

lol, that would have been quite a boost leak...
So, did you change the injector angles, or drop them in the port a little? welding involved?

no welding same angle getting pics on now

pix... haha
horsepower is how hard you hit the wall, Torque is how far you push the wall with you
Um, I was just checking out your cardomain...are you using a 2200 headgasket with a 2.2L head...?

no i already know about that head gasket i sold it because cometic sent me the wrong one. im going to have to get pics on here tomorrow cause im on dial up so it wouldnt load lol. It feels like i have more power as well with this mod cause of the bigger injectors and all.

Hey, great to see you got it done. I hope my tips proved a little helpful at least. I want to see pics!
Also, fo your vacumme leak, your lower injector o-ring should have provided a seal with the manifold to prevent vacumme or boost from coming into the old side-feed fuel rail. At least, that's the only way i could see that happening. I don't have one side of my old fuel rail sealed up, and i run a 18-20 in-Hg at idle. Idles fine.
Im planning on having pics on here tomorrow and doing a write up on the DIY fuel rail for the LN2s. This setup is basically going to let alot more LN2ers go turbo.
