magnum intake rebuild
Ok I couldn't find any information on the forum about a rebuild just for the magnum intake manifold so here goes.
I recently bought a mag intake manifold and I was wondering the.following things:
1. What is a good way to clean and shine the manifold to look more polished.
2. What is the part number for the gasket between the runners and the butterfly valve housing and the manifold and the block.
3. Are the fuel injectors the same from all the models of car. And which are better for a atx magnum set up.
4. Lastly what bolts are needed for the head I've heard that the bolts on the plasic manifold are too small. And I've counted 8 bolt holes on the mag intake are all of them used or just some.

I thought I once read that the 2001+ Neons had revised injectors, with a slightly different flow rate ?? The change had something to do with the switch to the 58PSI fuel pressure regulator, for the 2001+ model year, If I Recall Correctly.
Hopefully, one of the other knowledgeable folks ( Bill, or John ? ) can confirm this.

From what I have read '98 and up injectors are the same...
But I have also wondered about the pressure difference. Unless the PCM's are able to manage that with pulsewidths.
There should be a PN list for the Mag IM parts in the PN section.

2000 Neon MTX swap with '02 R/T PCMOlha Koba, a psychologist in Kyiv, said that “anger and hate in this situation is a normal reaction and important to validate.” But it is important to channel it into something useful, she said, such as making incendiary bombs out of empty bottles.

that link is unclear and confusing to me.
here are a couple other links that will help for part #'s

viewtopic.php?p=136906#136906
any other help will be great.

To get the intake to shine, you will need to make the manifold smooth first. Start with 80 grit and work your way up to 2000. You will want to get a Dremel for grinding down the casting marks and extra flashing. After that, it's time to start polishing.orangeneon05 wrote:thanks on the polish idea any clue on sand paper grits to get a good shine.
Expect to spend around 60 hours on this to make it look like mine. Most people give up long before that point though.
If I could just figure out how to meld the Outback and the Neon into one car...

Do you mean the webs on the outside of the runners?orangeneon05 wrote: and if you dremel down the extra metal around the injectors wont that make the intake less stable.
let me know what you think.
As long as you use the bottom bending strut, it should be fine. It is under $12 at the dealer if you don't have one. A few Magnum IMs have cracked recently, and the strut was not used. These were non modified also.

Remove the zero from the beginning of the PN to be correct. Some parts ppl aren't smart enough, and will tell you it is not the correct number.

You don't need to remove all of the webbing. There is a lot of extra material that can be removed safely though.
Here are some pics I took during the grinding stage.
What they look like before polishing...note the excess removed near the bolt holes.
It's a good idea to keep the material intact under the runners.
What the final product can look like...

thanks dante thats what i was looking for that last one where you can see the top webs. i thought that was alot of structural metal to remove and be no bueno if you did remove it. do you coat it with anything after all the sanding besides polish so it wont rust or will it be rust free with out maintenance.
Well, it's aluminum, so no worries about rust
I did not coat it with anything. I have to keep it clean and keep it polished to maintain the finish. If it was good enough to my eyes, I would have it powdercoated clear. Alas, it isn't good enough for my OCD.

That is the part number for the gasket to the head. It is an one piece gasket, unlike the non Magnum manifold.
4648623AB gasket for the runners to the head (need 1)
4884067AB gasket that goes inbetween plenum & butterflies / runners
(need 1)

The injector o rings are dirt cheap. May as well just put new ones on. You can get them anywhere. Tho if you can find the blue ones, they seem to be a better quality. IDK what brand they are tho.

Anything other than the o rings is part of the injector.

Just want to be sure we are on the same page. Hard to know exactly if we are thinking of the same thing.

If you buy a Felpro gasket for the rt intake manifold it includes the plenum gasket.
So many neons so little time.
