Accel Superram
Has anyone here in the Phoenix area ever done an Accel Superram install? I have owned one for about 10 years and never got around to installing it. I know it can be a bear to install but apparently once you do it and understand how its supposed to go together it's not so bad.
I am thinking about taking on this project and was wondering if anyone would be interested in joining in on the install. Will probably just do the upper intake. I generally enjoy working on projects with other people then just by myself.
Thanks Brian

Re: Accel Superram
I would be willing to lend a hand. I am not very knowledgeable, but I do what I can like rad, water pump, etc. Downside is I have no idea about the superram, but the upside is I'm close and willing. Let me know.

Copchaser already sent me some good instructions and tips and I may broadcast the install with my mobile web cam for all to see.

Re: Accel Superram
That sounds good! Does not matter if you do not have any experience with it. I will be doing most of the wrenching and hopefully we will both learn something in the process.

Re: Accel Superram
I always use quite a bit of RTV on the runner gaskets... Superram's are known for having vacuum leaks around the runners. I have installed mine prob around 4 times now... All I can say is I ended buying a few small tools to make the install easier/faster. Use bolts for under the plenum (along with a ratcheting wrench). The allen head ones suck!

Re: Accel Superram
I worked on one several years ago, but would be willing to lend a hand. When are you planning on swapping it out?

Re: Accel Superram
they are not the pain that every one says they are.. you just need to know how to install them.
i have been running the super ram for over 19 years
on a few diff engs.
can tell you that it takes alot more time to install then any other.
only 2 screws are a hard get to..(2 on ea side)
and remember to run the kick down under the top box.
never had a leak with mine or others.
use a small bit of RTV (just enof to cover the gaskets)color
i use ultra blue. use rubber gloves to apply it to the gaskets
done right. you will not see the RTV. and it will not Leak
