Yeah I'm running a twin plate so the spring probably helps cos it's really not that heavy

Excellent, thanks Cranked! Your info, plus Jacks, sent me off on a search and I found this thread:

 

http://www.4gtuner.c...acked-firewall/

 

that completes the picture for me and I think I know what I need to do now...

 

I have to admit I am finding it hard to believe that the original design had just the spacers on the clutch pedal box against the firewall and not a complete plate!  

 

Or have I misunderstood?

[jack be nimble]

Nup, crap setup from beginning.
have a good look at clutch padal box while its out too. They get a bit wonky

[Cranked]

Yes I agree it is quite a poor original design and the mod really isn't that difficult. Dave, u can thank Jack really as I just followed his link and replicated it. My car puzzle is nearly complete.

I only used info from the thread that dave has above. Kudos to neil and evo-oox.

...so how close is "close" when your talking about the space between the td05 dump and the 4g93 oil filter? I know its not ideal but I'm a couple gaskets away from installing everything. Gimme sumthin' fellas...please!!!!!      

[jack be nimble]

I dont know what td05 dump i have, but its not a stock part. I had the little z411 filter (whatever number, but the little one). It was close enough to scratch a thread line in the paint on the filter as i screwed it on. Good enough reason to get a remote filter...

I've got one of those Autobahn88 TD05 Dump pipes. probably 15-20 mil clearance. Can spin the filter on no worries though.

stock tdo5 dump fould on the filter to the point where i had to grind away a heat shield mount.

i run a similar one to 3volutionist now minus oil cooler and gives plenty of room.

advice get a GOOD quality remote kit with good thick lines.

I was looking at these a while ago, they look pretty tidy.

30 rows is a massive cooler though, I've got a 10 and struggled to fit it behind the front bar with the intercooler piping and stuff

[QUKNEZ]

Well if I have around $100 or so to spend on either a filter relocator kit or dump then it may as well be the dump seeing as it'll come with the gaskets that I need to finish the job. I read somewhere as well that its not absolutely necessary to add oil cooler to my application as its only a daily and not seeing huge amounts of boost or racing. Otherwise I would go the relocator/cooler route and just use the evo dump I have here. Its good to get stuff that the fellas are already using and works. Cant go wrong with the tried and true!

If you're on a budget you can always just get the re-locator kit without the cooler.

[jack be nimble]

I dont have a cooler. Just a relocator

[QUKNEZ]

I think it was you Jack on another post that mentioned it wasnt necessary for a cooler...and we must all listen to Jack.

Finally could get to this: don't have any welding gear, and can't weld anyway, so went for some aluminium plate (x2 at 5mm + some alumininium sheet to pack it) to sit flush with the top of the bolt collars. Put some tape on it to make a moisture barrier because I'm putting aluminium against steel. I'll see what happens, though from what I can work out this should be OK.

 

Pleased with the job and clutch does fell better (though that could be psychological!)

 

Thanks again for all the help gents
