yeh ill grind servo and inlet down slightly........rs4pro3 wrote:Ya they move, the upper tranny bolt actualy cut a hole threw the firewall right under the blower from moving around. Also I doubt you'll be able to get the tranny on in position 3 unless you already have the bellhousing on. I couldn't tilt mine enough and had to slide it back to #2 put the tranny on then slide the whole unit back.
Will this not stop the servo from doing its job? as there is a large plate the same diameter inside which moves when the vacuume is made.rs4pro3 wrote:Just take a hammer to the Servo(brake booster). I had to hammer a small dent in mine to clear the E34 intake manifold
Mate more than a 'BIT'.Karan wrote:and wouldnt the engine move the other way when on the thottle?
i think a bit of careful grinding and filing will do... then once its on the road we will see how it is
yeh i thought bout that..... may just fit a golf one then to be on the safe side.... would have been nice to keep the original thoughDemlotcrew wrote:Mate more than a 'BIT'.Karan wrote:and wouldnt the engine move the other way when on the thottle?

What about over run and when you change gears the engine moves to the left, plus cornering will move it also.

youre correct karan,and wouldnt the engine move the other way when on the thottle?
the piece that moves inside the servo is the diaphram, it's made of rubber,Will this not stop the servo from doing its job? as there is a large plate the same diameter inside which moves when the vacuume is made.
cheers dude.... i thought it would crack.. just wanted to checkglenn wrote:dont hit the ally,
it's cast aliminium,
it will break
i'd use a grinder, but be carefull, you wont be able to take much off it,
goodluck
Thats 1/2" not small enough.jmc330i wrote:Looking good mate.
I will check out the Golf servo for you when Im down the yard on Monday.
I think the GTi one is about an inch smaller than the the E30 servo, so would save you grinding and cutting the plenum.
I see youve gone with the E36 rack. Whats your plan for the exhaust manifold and getting it round the steering joint?
an INCH? where's that plucked from?!Demlotcrew wrote:Karan, i think that a gap of about an inch would be a good target to go for.

I had a video of a M20 on stock mounts, the guy took the bonnet off and went off for a drive, you would be surprised to know how much movement there was (i was). And from what i can remember the H25 and pacers touring had about an inch.Toby_Unna wrote:an INCH? where's that plucked from?!Demlotcrew wrote:Karan, i think that a gap of about an inch would be a good target to go for.

you try putting an m30 in and getting an inch clearance to every single thing in the bay!
you're correct in that the inlet moving left and right requires the most clearance being so far away from the mounts (so it moves furthest when the engine rocks under load) but an inch is unnecessary. and i don't think you'll get that much clearance to the steering column with a modded tubular manifold.
the most movement you get is on start up, and clearance problems then are a minor annoyance rather than a serious problem. but i have probably 1cm between inlet plenum and servo and i have no issue.
and yes i know karan's motor is a good bit pokier than mine, but firstly the torque output is only 20lbft (or something) higher if i remember right. and secondly karan probably used new rubber mounts which will move less than my second hand ones
