GsXtUrBo98's 2G project thread - Page 7

Can't you just take out the nuts holding the manifold on, back the manifold off an inch to slip a nut on the threads then put it back on? I think that's what some X guys have to do with their tubular mani's.

The problem isn't getting the nut on its that the stud is so long that it will hit the manifold when I tighten the nuts down...

Nice progress, sucky about the mani.

GsXtUrBo98 · 03-17-2011

Did you cut that damn stud yet?

Setup is looking awesome Chris!!

Can I just cut it? I would think that if I cut it that the nut wouldnt go on?

Make sure you put the nut on the stud first before you cut it. That way when you back the nut off the stud it will help fix the threads if they aren't perfect. I've always smoothed the edges of the stud a little bit before backing off the nut.

I think you were right. Are set ups are identical for bolt on's. The only thing is I have the 2.4. Proving grounds will be fun this year, Im just suprised I guess there were only a few 2g's around. When you getting tuned?

GsXtUrBo98 · 03-19-2011

Thanks I will prob do that tonight or tomorrow and see how it works!

**CornFed2.4** · 03-20-2011

GsXtUrBo98 · 03-20-2011

turbotalon1g · 03-20-2011

U got a bike? Planning for the car season Pretty early aren't you?

GsXtUrBo98 · 04-25-2011

Ran into a problem with my radiator hose hitting the manifold!! Not sure what I'm going to do at this point.... Any ideas would be great!

GsXtUrBo98 · 04-25-2011

Working on the battery relocation. I HATE WIRES!

GsXtUrBo98 · 04-25-2011

Some shots as the car sits as of tonight when I got frustrated and left it due to the radiator hose..

GsXtUrBo98 · 04-25-2011

So you all are aware I am getting that dump tube ceramic coated as well and am just using is for mock up at this moment.

turbotalon1g · 04-25-2011

Have you homie J-funk, move the outlet on the radiator, its honestly a 10 min job.

Good luck, you gonna run some 11s at 140 this year? lol

**Halon** · 04-25-2011

damn sucks about the hose. Wasn't an issue on mine since the hose connects to the radiator in a different spot on 1G's I guess. Might want to look into getting a custom hard hose welded up. Or move the radiator outlet towards the passenger side a little and maybe see if you can run a 1G hose.
