Intercooler pipe run

[whytie]

I was just looking at the car and was thinking of just lowering the mount down a inch or 2.

As long as the angle remains the same on the dog bone that would work too.

is this just the size of the turbo your using or the manifold desing whytie ?

Hi Guys,

For a fact I do not have front engine mount. All my engine and gearbox mounts are solid and the rear anti roll engine mount is 100% rigid (made out of an steel pipe) and I didn't had any issues until now with the car.......I am running an 3071r turbo!

More for you, the idea of having some movement is to stop it stressing the mounts and shell,and also to stop NVH transferring to the cabin......you don't want NVH in the cabin of a road car like whites.

Had a mess around today think this will be the easiest option, just need to get it welded up.

Cheers, it should do the job.

Are the buffer mounts even actully needed

 

[johnny gtir]

i would say so got to make a difference assist the mains to absorb/stop movement back and forth

No nissan put them there for the fun of it! Of corse they are needed, they take some off the stress away from the weak gearbox casing, and are designed to take compressional force the other three are under rotational force which means they would need to be absolutely solid to resist engine movement and that will put un due stress in other areas.

Got it welded this morning, fits ok.

Started to put this car back together today, got few bits powder coated.
