SW66TTT Posted June 19, 2022 Share Posted June 19, 2022 I've just installed a plenum spacer which went on nicely, I've then gone to put the strut brace back on and it goes all the way down and I could do the nuts up but it literally sits on top of the plenum and the black plastic cover. I bought a 5/16" and I thought this would allow the strut brace to go back on but its touching so do i just run without the strut brace?

Olly350z Posted June 19, 2022 Share Posted June 19, 2022 Your kit should have come with spacers for the strut brace as well. Check packaging and make sure they've not been sellotaped somewhere and you've missed them. Failing that, try spacing it with washers or you can run without like I did on mine. Ideally though, it was designed to be there, so be there it should Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SW66TTT Posted June 19, 2022 Author Share Posted June 19, 2022 It doesn't look like the kit came with spacers, washers is a good shout, a couple of each nut should do it, cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unusual not to be supplied with spacers because it won’t fit without them. You need your strut brace on.

The build quality seems good and it sent on fine, took the car for a drive today and seems good. Just a shame it didn't come with spacers for the strut brace. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Payco Posted June 19, 2022 Share Posted June 19, 2022 (edited) Oops. Best to go with Motordyne / Kintek or known one. You only really get the benefit if you do the other normal upgrades with it. If you are happy that’s the main thing. Hope it had at least a good gasket so keep an eye for leaks. Did you follow the torque procedure when refitting ? It’s important you do.

Payco Posted June 19, 2022 Share Posted June 19, 2022 Do the other breathing mods and you will see greater benefit . Best to do them all together but glad you are happy for now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
