Congrats, now take it back apart and see how fun that'll be

 

[Gamble97]

Never.
It was such a nightmare to get it on.

 

[greengoblin]

Here is how I did mine. It worked very well.

Looks good, however my wires are nowhere near long enough for that.

 

[AuntiesTSI]

You have a pic of the entire engine bay with it installed? You completely tucked your bay didn't you?

 

[Gamble97]

Me? my wires are tucked. I still have more work to do, put the intake back on etc etc.

I picked up a set of custom Magnacores for my car.

got any more info on how to do this?

 

[greengoblin]

Call Magnecor and ask for a custom lenght wires. Pay bill and wait. Install on car.

Or find someone selling them. I picked mine up from Greg Collier when he decided to get out of the game. He however called Magnecor and did the above steps.

You can also call taylor and they will do the same, but they will give you a custom part number then sell it to summit and you will have to order it from summit.

I know this thread is old but can anyone tell me what's going on here? The OP didn't give any description he just said he was able to do it and showed us a cluttered picture. Why does JMFab's website say it can't be used with the A/C (what's in the way of the bracket that makes you have to delete the A/C)? Also does anybody know if this can be used with an Evo 3 intake manifold?

 

[blcknspo0ln]

The bracket uses the top two bolts for the AC compressor and is always positioned in a way that is occupies the same space as the compressor, so you can't use both together. I only ran mine with a JMF SMIM, so I know there is plenty of room under the IM, but am unsure if the stock configuration would work (although I can't imagine seeing why not).

Gamble shows you a picture of him bending the bracket enough so that it sits on top of the compressor. Once you get a chance to dive into this same project, you'll see how difficult (or rather PITA) this install can be while trying to maintain AC.

 

[DashLaflash]

Ok guys I ordered this bracket and already got it bent. I have no idea why they say it can't be used with A/C because there is plenty of room. I only had to bend it down slightly as it was hitting the Evo 3 intake manifold. As for working with a stock intake manifold I would say HELL NO. If you ever get a bad coil you will have to pull the A/C compressor and entire bracket out to change it. This is a big disadvantage but its the price you pay for a clean engine bay.

 

[1997_GSX]

A/C is worthless in our cars in my opinion, I could never get the car to idle at stoplights with it on with BC 280s, it would just shut the car off.


Oh well, my bay looks a lot cleaner that with it. I tried talking my friend into removing in his spyder but he wouldn't , the lines are always in the way.

taylor sold me my custom set directly

Maybe things changed since I started this thread....(look at the date)

 

[TalonSpeed]

I would like to confirm this bracket can be used on a 2g with AC. If all it takes is a slight bend, why was it not designed from the get go to work with AC?

 

[TalonSpeed]

If works with AC bracket. 2g with JMF manifold, no bend required. Stock wires long enough to reach.

 

[Blizz92tsi]

I would love to be able to use this on my 2g with A/C but I don't have an aftermarket intake manifold. My setup is not ready for this yet. Don't have the funds either. Has anyone tried to make this work with a 1g intake manifold?
