E36 rack and 6 branch !

[Rallyprep_UK]

Hi,

does anybody have a pic of a manifold/downpipe from an m20 engined car with a e36 rack fitted ?

I would like to know where the problem lies with using an e36/z3 rack with a 6 branch (i am led to believe it touches) so that I can come up with a solution.

I'm thinking along the lines of moving the column (which sits too high for me anyhow) and/or making a slimline coupling with new uj's.

any pics are much appreciated.

thanks
Will

I am also having this problem with the track car i am building got a set of headers of some tit on eBay the front part was real the back set were home made and wood not fit in a load of places i two have just fitted the E36 rack but the header was not only hitting this it was hitting the chassis and the anti-roll bar and the wishbone were it was so badly made i was going to buy a brand new set of headers to get over this problem but as you i have heard that they will still will not miss so really do need some help on this guys

All i did to resolve the problem is move the steering rack about 5mm to the right, because of the nature of the rack it does not affect the steering but you will have to re track the steering.

ok yeah thats what i wanted to know...

It would be so much easier if i had a 6 branch to offer up

thankyou

There is a thread running to produce a btb3 manifold that fits quick racks, in the group buy section.

I have fitted my Z3 rack, just need the pipes now. Will try and bend the old ones before splashing out

Manifold was on the cards next but now I'm thinking about turbo's so I dont know what the plan is...
