Installation
of Torque Plate
Read the
disclaimer before installation
- Park vehicle in a suitable work location, set parking
brake, place automatic transmissions in park, manual
transmissions in neutral, and open hood.
- Use the 11 mm deep well socket to loosen the lower clamp
on the upper intake connection hose and slide the lower
clamp off of the hose.
- Remove the six bolts holdinng the air intake connection
and clipstick tube in place using the 10 mm six point
socket
NOTE: observe that these bolts are different
lengths.(figure #1)
- Remove the intake manifold connection and hose as a
unit, taking care NOT to damage the gasket. This gasket can
normally be reused, however, if torn, replace the gasket
with a new one.
- Remove the AFC housing assembly by removing the 4 screws
(2 are 8 mm and 1 is standard flat head) including the
factory break off screw with a rounded head and no
screwdriver, Allan head or TORX slot. The hammer and sharp
chisel can be used to remove the break of screw by making a
notch in the outside diameter of the head, then tap the
screw with light blows counter clockwise to remove. (figure
#2)
- Pry the fuel shutdown solenoid bracket away from the AFC
housing.
- Lift the AFC housing, moving it out of the way toward
the rear of the engine. (figure #2)
- Place the installation guide plate provided with the
Torque Plate over the torque curve plate. This plate is used
to position the new torque curve plate. The guide plate only
fits one way. (figure #3)
- Leave one of the torque plate screws tight while
removing the other screw. Place the removed screw into one
of the corners of the guide plate. Make sure the guide plate
is slid as far as possible toward the rear of the engine so
that there is zero clearance between the front edge of the
torque curve plate flange and the installation guide.
(figure #3)
- Remove the other torque plate screw and install it in
the other corner to help hold the guide plate in place.
- Remove the stock curve plate using pliers or your
fingers. Save the stock plate to permit converting the
engine back to stock
- Place the new torque curve plate into the same position
that the stock one formerly occupied. (figure #3)
- Install the torque plate screws one by one, tightening
them down. Then remove the installation guide. (figure #4)
- Reinstall the AFC housing, using the new flat head screw
to replace the break off screw, making sure the fuel
shutdown solenoid is in place. Tighten down all four
corners. Then reinstall air intake, making sure all clamps
and bolts are tight. (figure #1)
- Install the turbo boost control (the small brass elbow
supplied with the torque plate), into the 1/8" pipe port for
waste gate control fitting in the place of the barbed hose
fitting on the back of the AFC housing.
If
the vehicle is still slow to accelerate or has too much
smoke:
Adjust the AFC housing using an 8 mm Allen
wrench. Take care NOT to lose the sealing washer under the
plug. Removing the plug exposes a star wheel, withich changes
the quickness of fueling response to boost.
- If acceleration is weak, with minimal boost, remove the
8mm headplug and rotate the top of the star wheel toward the
engine a few clicks.
- If the vehicle has heavy black smoke or initial
acceleration, remove the 8mm headplug and rotate the top of
the star wheel away from the engine a few
clicks.
Reinstall the large plug with sealing
washer and test drive the vehicle again. It may take repeated
attempts to get the adjustments set.
