Petrol down pipe route and fitting advice

edd s2 · Jan 14, 2013

Hi guys as you may have seen from some of my other posts i am converting my S2A from Diesel to Petrol to get a bit more power.

Have come to fit the petrol downpipe and after some head scratching figured that it must run over the top of the gearbox mount. Is this correct? If so how on earth do you get it in, do you have to remove the mount? Mine has a welded in gearbox cross member.

Spent some time trying all differnt ways in the freezing cold this evening and gave up, having a beer instead.

The diesel routing is so much easier to fit.

Thanks

Hi James thanks for the quick reply can you elaborate a little? Do you mean fit from above? I.e take the floor panel out?

jamesmartin · Jan 14, 2013

yes to do a proper job as its clipped and screwed or you could tie wrap it in place

OK thanks will give it a go already got the floor out as been repairing the bulkhead as well

I've used fuel hose from the tank to the pump and also put in an inline filter. Mine is zip tied to the top of the chassis rail. access was through the seat box and floor panel.

I have just realised we are not talking about the same thing. I was meaning exhaust downpipe (agree the title is not clear)

Did wonder how fixing an exhaust pipe with cable ties would work, OK whilst cold

Can you offer any advice for the how to get the exhaust downpipe over the gearbox cross member?

Sorry for the confusion

You either have to jack the left front really high and slip it in from the front or take the seat box out then it's even easier (but removing seat box can be a pain)

Haha, I thought same as James....

Exhaust downpipe had me swearing a fair bit. Jacking up the front by about 4-6" or doing it over a pit and suddenly its fairly easy...took me about an hour to work that one out!
