What brand DP you using? I made my own DP so i made it as snug to the pan as i could. I already know the apexi is touching so im going to make it deeper to account for those since they much not fit as snugly.Crap!
The downpipe flex section rubs against Bobby's brace... I could move the flex section further back, but then the pipe would be very very close (not much better off because the pipe would move with the engine and still potentially collide). I can't move it forward because the OBX oil pan and Frontline Fab brace create a pretty narrow tunnel, and Morrison Fab already started out with the flex section moved back to accommodate those parts. I dont think I will be able to use this brace unfortunately. I will probably make something similar that works for my setup and try to sell this to someone who missed Bobby's group buy.
Only other update is I finally found a cheap source for JIS fasteners (Mcmaster - duh!?) and grabbed a few bags to replace some of the hardware store 13mm headed M8x1.25 bolts I have had to use over the years. Its really nice to get these damn 13mm's off the car and back in a bolt bin. Apparently M8 bolts have 12mm heads in the Japanese industrial standard, Sweet! I picked up some flange head JIS bolts as well.
Also found a 6 bolt forward facing oil filter housing! Stevie Miller had one and gave me a pretty decent price on it. I want to ditch this one to avoid dropping the downpipe to pull the filter off, so forward facing ensures plenty of room. Might go external someday if I run into high oil temps. I have the temp probe in the sump to keep an eye on it.
Yeah do check with all mount on the car. Morrison setup might be as snug to the oan as possible since they would want it out the way. Im assuming this is the case.Okay so I wasn't thinking about this very hard... Right now the timing side engine mount is off the car... the engine sags a bit when that mount is removed in spite of the solid poly/solid aluminum mounts.
I need to recheck fitment with the engine jacked back up into final position....

thats roughly the extent of the interference if the red circle is the cross section of the tube. Putting the mount on might gain me a considerable amount....
I am now also considering adding about 3" of straight pipe to move the flex section back a little. I think it would clear with a decent margin if the flex section wasn't right there
Will, I need to make a bigger fuel delivery system myself. What does the underside of your modified fuel pump hanger look like? I need -8 or -10 feed to try and cure a lean condition from "big pump, small lines".
You are TOO a reliable source Will and we are lucky to have you on here!

Thanks for any insight!

Stock and 6an. Only 8an and above seems to fix it.
https://www.sixsigmatuning.com/fuel..._o9zCVf2LgaqA6GRz6eYGicPcnR_JI_B8j62Q6cVqJFQ0Well damn, I am pretty happy I decided to bump to 8an. I had all the parts in my cart to do 6an... I am sure there are a ton of factors like volume of the fuel rail, return line sizes, and length of hose between rail and regulator (well the volume of fuel it holds anyway).
Does Kevin post that stuff on his personal account or shop account, or what? I do want to hear what he has to say...
