All, I know it has been discussed but I cannot find conclusive information on coolant tube or hoses running through the center tunnel. I ha e two 20ga 321S.S. 1.4" ID tu es that are perfect for my 20b rotary conversion. I'd like to run them through the tunnel and run right between the brace and steering rack with a bump kit installed giving me the extra10 mm of Clearance. Everything appears to fit. I.know I know the lines can be ran with green stripe underneath. I feel like that's home grown and can be fabricated with a much cleaner appearance.
1) has anyone successfully achieved using the tunnel for conversions? If so how warm does the car become? 2) where's did you.run the lines once on the other side of the firewall 3) concerns with heat soaking the steering rack? Attached thumbnail(s)

Don't ... You'll thank me once you get the car back on the road. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif) Why? Because the steering rack spacers that are sold as a "bump steer kit" will completely throw off your steering geometry and put stress on the upper steering assembly, including the rubber isolator and steering shaft. Your steering will be binding. We just had a thread about this recently: www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?showtopic=363447 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif) |
