18 This shows how close the stock LIM is to the firewall.

that header turned out really nice, now we need to figure out your intake and its ready to go

 

Thanks! The header is a really tight fit. Trying to get it in and out of the engine bay makes the header in the MG look like a walk in the park.



The front and middle pipes are almost equal length. The rear is quite a bit shorter. It shouldn't be too much of a problem.



I'm probably going to keep the 2" pipe on the end and then expand it out to 2 1/2" pipe. I'll install a 2" flange somewhere in there so the header can still be removed. The smaller the flange, the easier it'll be to remove the header. I guess I'll wait to install the O2 sensor bung. No need for it right now.

 

i dont think that one pipe being shorter is gonna be all that big a deal. besides it fitting the car is most important. it looks like you have a lot of room for an intake, is that right?

 

 

There are 9 1/2 inches between the engine and the strut tower. It'll be tight at the firewall, but I can always hammer that in a little.



A good rule to follow is to have 10" of space between the engine and the inner fender for a supercharger install. I'll have to mod the strut tower a little I guess.

 

Not too shabby.just need to keep the heat of the idler arm now.

 

Yep. I'm waiting for a few more opinions about the intake manifold stuff. Then I'll know which to get. I wanna fire this thing up soon.

 

Same.
