I installed my Accufab TB/Plenum last night without much of a problem. However, I did not use 4 screws that came with it. Are these to replace ones used on the factory, did I need to use them?

The four hex head cap screws are to fasten down the TPS,you can use them or not.You might use BLUE Loctite on the threads because the stock parts were definately locked with something.BTW I just installed the same setup with the 75mm TB.The HP increase is noticeable especially during high RPM shifts (5 spd).

im about to get my TB / plenum in the mail in the near future.... what is blue loctite? i assume its like the blue gasket maker i had to get when i installed my steeda tri ax.... accept that u put it on each screw and then screw it in... kind of like glue.... am i right?


also where else would i need to use this loctite stuff.... just with the TB and plenum or also with UD pulleys and my x pipe and CAI etc.... thanks

Gottya...thanks for the help Chopper...Yeah I haven't even turned on the motor yet, but i'm looking forward to testin it out...

GT1999, yeah the loctite acts like a glue...keeps the screw from backing over the course of time with vibration. I used it on the threads of my my Tri-ax shifter when i was installin the 4 main bolts...there are different strengths, I use one that allows a hand wrench to loosen the grip of the loctite...

do u need to use that loctite on the 4 screws on the short shifyt kit becayse i didnt, all i put on was gasket maker... will it be alright or should i undo the screws and put on loctite...
