Is there enough meat at the area where the hanger bolts to the trans to oval the holes to give you more adjustment or even drill a second set of holes.

If there's a will there's a way!!
Thanks for the feedback and help!!
I can drill new holes in the hanger and extend the slot an inch for the trans cooler.
I'm going to need Ben to fab up 1.5" extenders, to clear the backup light switch. I will also extend the holes in the fiberglass GT valance up an inch. At least now the Triad muffler will have the same ground clearance as the trans.
Here's some pictures of my hobby. My neighbor calls it "my labor of love".

I finally found time to try to install them. They are sitting too high at the muffler hanger. Any ideas? Otherwise it bolted up fine.



I used an England (sp?) rear hanger. It fit very well. If a stock one won't work, it should be easy to modify or make a new one. Might be Ben's next project.

One thought, I have a 914 trans, yours is a 915, is that the issue?


Engman?

He passed away a couple years back and the hanger is NLA unless someone picked up making it. I know the chassis stiffener kit (interior) is being done by someone.

Yes, I purchased it a couple years back. You know how these projects take time to come together ...

Thanks Ben!! I think my car is special. Especially since I'm using an after market muffler (Triad).
Mepstein didn't have a problem. The Engman hanger should of been a duplicate of the 2.0 hanger. Engman (RIP) made cool race look products with holes in them to make them look racy / lighter. I don't know who else would need the spacers. I wish I had a stock six log muffler to compare. The space behind my trans is needed for the back up switch plus a local shop put a fitting on the end of my trans for a trans cooler. I don't know who else would need this mod.
I am curious though... Looking at McMarks picture that you posted, it also looks like the hanger and muffler are an inch lower.

That's my car. It's just distorted perspective. The muffler is just hanging on to the hanger with some hose clamps. Nothing was tightened down. When the hanger is against the heat exchangers, everything lines up.

I don't run the shorted 911 hardline shown in the pic. The hardline worked well with headers but not with these heat exchangers. I just ran the ss line directly to the engine. I figure the heat exchanger is a good buffer from the heat of the header.

Thanks for the clarification. Weird the hanger distance looked just like mine. I'm running the PMS short return line. It is a tight fit, but should be fine. I will check it occasionally in the future. I will post pictures of mine when it's back together.
Thanks again Ben for making these!!

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif) Finally finished installing the heat exchangers. Very noticeable difference in power and throttle response over the stock six heat exchangers. Thanks Ben for the awesome support and help!! I am very happy with my purchase. Glad I got in on the group buy!! Killer deal!!!

1.5" was a mistake. Not enough room for nuts and washers. My bad... I should of said 2". I made the 1.5" work. It might make more sense some day for me to just reweld the muffler flanges on the muffler, versus a spacer. Here's a picture of the spacer. It works fine. Thanks again for the awesome support and help!!

You know I have added these beautiful heat exchangers to my list..... Steve's comments re the 3,2 power difference sealed it for me - but I already suspected that would be the case. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

Steve, i think a threaded stud would also have worked but glad to see you're back on the road.

So pelican parts will be listing these in their catalog shortly. Could any of you share hi res shots of your heat exchangers either mounted on the car or set by the car ready for install?

Please email them to mbconsulting21@gmail.com or post here.. Thanks again.

This is the only one that I have.
I can put the car up on the lift this Sunday and get another one if it will help.
