been there before,

that manifold might be for an s14 which has the space but of damn rat box s13s don't.

My issue was the BMC, Turbo and the damn down pipe all where touching each other, so i was like fuck it and got a JGS log manifold and never gave a fuck about it after words.

 my friend nick had the same problem. we put a closer to the bmc bend in the brake lines, got a turbo blanket and a heat wrap and he has no problems. then there is this the slightly more expensive cleaner route: http://www.enjukuracing.com/chase-bays-brake-booster-eliminator-p-10817.html
ends up looking like this

 no yes(ninja edit)...it deletes the power booster. and relocates the lines to where ever the kit you buy with says it does


but that is just an option why anyone would want to do that idk.

get something custom or that is known to fit in there with no issues. It's not like we have to make anything over 400hp so logs will do fine.

Heat shield like Nick said or you could also get a RHD Z32 BMC and I think the R32 BMC works as well.
