I'm not sure, but user "nextelbuddy" on nam3forum.com has a great example of what you're talking about. Maybe he has a build page in his post history (link).Quote:

Jacob, nextelbuddy is Shawn Robertson. Reach out to him and he should be able to tell you all that is needed for an S54 swap. He has done this a few times so he's a very reliable resource of knowledge.Quote:

Does anyone where the black internal torx screw, that looks like the DISA valve screw, only shorter goes in and around the intake manifold?
I’m struggling to upload pictures using Tapatalk for some reason, but basically it’s a small black internal torx screw that I removed when I was replacing the coolant lines under the intake manifold it I cannot seems to remember where it goes now.
It’s this screw-

Did you remove any of the metal brackets that attach various things to the manifold? I took my manifold off the other week, the only place I remember encountering internal torx on mine were on the 3-4 brackets, and there were 2 different head sizes if I remember right (T25 and T30?)Quote:

Hmm, I’ll take a look in the morning and see if I can spot any hidden ones. Mine’s still off the car.Quote:
