hi guys happy new year

i have some problems with my os 18 tm, today me and my brother installed the os engine in the jato, it took some modifications in order to make it fit, now we have one problem, the manifold that comes with this os isnt really made to fit the jato (i know it made t fit the revo) we had to mod it and now it fits but the pipe is to far away from the chassis and it dosnt seem that the manifold connects in an excellent way with the pipe, thres air escaping in the rubber between the manifold and the pipe

please help

Zip tie the coupler as tight as possible so it wont do that or try bending the manifold.

mm yes, i thought about that, bending the manifold. would affect the performance of the engine in any way??

another idea came to my mind, what about modding the stock header in order to make it fit to the os. once again i dont know if this is possible

Take some pics..because im not 100% sure what im trying to visualize here.

all right, here you go





there you can see what the problem is, the pipe is too high, too far away from the chassis and very near to the wheel.[&:]

Lol nice antennea tube, but yeah if I were you I would find something that would fit just inside the manifold and stick it in there and slowly bend it. I had to do this with my gt after a crash, but you do risk cracking it.

It's gonna cost you about $20.00 bucks. Get a Mugen Seiki manifold. Part number:T0901. You will have to grind/file some clearance on the bottom for your back plate or EZ-Start. Worked for me. Later, Bob
