so with my top mount mani on sr20det, with my T4 i'm un able to make a down pipe because right where my down pipe would come off is going to hit the brake master cylinder lines. now this far into my build i'm going to have to work around this. and then it hit me, a right hand drive s13 brake booster and master cylinder are on the left side, so would that mean the lines would be coming off the other side then usdm? if so could i get one to fit my s13? any help would be nice.thanks

Do you need confirmation, yes it will work with custom lines. But if you have the ability to make your downpipe, why don't you just modifiy the manifold or make another one to help with clearance. Sounds like even with the RHD BMC you might might still be too close

Have fun with that 3" downpipe. Hope you got a band saw, its a tight fit with the SR and a tang. turbine housing. That's why I went on-center. Damn steering column is right in the way. GL with the mods!

If you made that one, why not make another one that gives you the clearence you need?

What brake booster are you running? I found that the manual trans brake booster from the s14 gave me a lot more clearance then the s13 booster. Also how much hp are you shooting for that you decided to run a t4 exhaust housing? A t3 should be able to put down some serious power and give you a little more clearance.

i bought the car with the teins on it. i will eventually part ways with them. for the time being its just going to be a street car with a big a$$ turbo. answer you question? i did not make this post for everyone to start picking apart at my car. i already found out that the 180sx MS will work, so end of thread. oh and cody one more thing, lag in no way bothers me. so i dont want you to start in with your disco potato

use the z32 300zx twin turbo master cylinder it bolts right up and changes the positioning of all your brake lines.....
