AU's running Pacemakers

TheSneakiness · 14-06-2005, 07:35 PM

Just a small request from the AU fraternity (sp?)....

Anyone running Pacemaker headers (PH4480 or PH4499), can you please post pics? I got some opinions about my ute, and just wanna see what everyone elses looks like.

Edit - Reason being is I wanna see the space the headers take up, and if I need to move my LPG converter to another spot...

Mice colour too!!

Actually its the standard pacemaker colour. Not really my idea.

Its now als getting the mottled brown rust spots that seems to affect all pacies tooo : (

Thanks for that jonbays, that's what I was looking for.

And yes, I will have to move the gas converter, looking at that. F*ck.

Edit - jonbays, what's the length of the pipe I put a yellow line on? I *may* be able to get away with not moving it...

jonbays · 15-06-2005, 02:04 PM

OK no. 4 pipe comes out from the exhaust cyl head face 22cm and actually goes up 2cm above the line of the exhaust bolt.

Its going to be a big problem I would think.

Yea, that would smack right into the bottom/side of the Vialle convertor because those Vialle suckers are 3 inches wide

TheSneakiness · 15-06-2005, 03:58 PM

Is that what my converter is Racecraft?

Keep in mind it is aftermarket.

Edit - Found a pic. Don't worry about the black circle. The converter is on the left under the coolant container. I will take a better picture tomorrow morning.

yeh i have the same sort of setup as you except my gas convertor thingy is back more and probably a lil higher.. its more sorta situated behind the radiator resevoir, i think im just gonna be able to get away with it.. i think... by looking at the pics you guys have posted im pretty sure i should be able to to it..

TheSneakiness · 16-06-2005, 08:04 AM

OK. I went and took some more pics. And yes, my damn converter will get in the road. It's fuggin huge.

Racecraft · 16-06-2005, 08:36 AM

ahh you have an OMVL convertor, they are 1/2 the size of the factory vialle convertors..

Easy enough to move it though, get the headers fitted and then find a new home for the gas convertor

TheSneakiness · 16-06-2005, 09:44 AM

Sounds like a plan. But ideally I want to move the convertor first and then put the headers in, just in case I need extra length on some pipes, etc...

GreenMachine · 16-06-2005, 02:15 PM

There's so much length in those pipes, would be a piece of **** to move it up and back behind the coolant reservoir. If you were super-keen, you could probably fab up a neat bracket and cover for it too.

Tibbo - are there any considerations when relocating a convertor? Do they need to sit level or be on a certain angle or orientation or anything? I know they need to be kept away from heat as much as possible...

I'll ring the gas mob Nick. May make life a little easier at the moment.

I couldn't get the Pacies fitted cos the factory converter was in the way .... so I just have a cat back system on ... damn ... I'd love to get a set of Pacies though on the ute.
