lower brace

[nismoboy]

Has anyone got either the cusco 2 / 4 point braces or the whiteline lower brace fitted with the 3 inch janspeed front pipe?

Have look at the picture of Mr Gtir's lower brace with a 3 inch system, it has needed to be modified a little and after being under my car this weekend and looking how close the Mongoose front pipe is to my lower brace I would defo say with the Janspeed front pipe it will need modifying :roll:

Another little job on my never ending list

not tried yet another option is lot of exhaust lagging :roll:

Even with exhaust lagging it does not fit lads

Needs to be cut & box sectioned to clear the exhaust :roll:

My cusco 4 point fitted, without to much bother either. The hardest bit was doing up the nuts on the flange. Anybody else have a problem with the nuts.

What turbo are you useing fella, And who fitted it?.

I'm haveing the same sort of problem now I fitted my new turbo, And I'v put it down to the exhaust housing on my new turbo being set in the wrong position because the lug on the goose is now a couple of inches away from where it bolts to the underside of the gearbox.

So when I fit my new janspeed down pipe I'm going to take the turbo off first and have a play with it's position, See what diference that makes.

I am running a MD214 from Turbo Dynamics mate which was fitted by Power Station

My 3 inch front pipe lined up perfectly and bolted to the underside of the gear box fine so I am going to have to get it cut and box sectioned :roll:

 

[Dooie Pop Pop]

my mounting lug was bent out of posistion when i first got it. i bent it back :twisted:

iv come to the conclusion that its far easier to jack the front of the car right up and drop the manifold/tubby and frontpipe together.

cheers for the advice stu,

so the 4 point cusco will fit with the janspeed front pipe?

 

[stevepudney]

with a few small adjustments, yes

The front bar of the brace hits the underside of the Janspeed pipe and only needs about 10 - 15mm to clear it.

so, with the correct tool's and a lot of heat, (good old Oxy-Acetylene to the rescue again) I put a 100mm long, 5mm flat in the underside of the Janspeed pipe and put a similar 5mm hollow on the upper side of the front bar of the brace but that only needed to be about 30mm long, now it all clears a treat.
