I have S14 SR20DET with DOC race T3 Top manifold.

Currently I have a clearance issue with A/C line and vacuum hose and there is no space for down pipe to go in.

Also my Tial waste gate vacuum nipple that goes on top of it wouldn't clear the AC line wither.

Has anyone had issues like this? I already contacted DOC race about the issue. :facepalm:

With my PeakBoost manifold I had clearance issues with the hardline and downpipe, there just wasn't enough room for both of them to occupy that area. I think the main issue was the coupling nut on the hardline to flexline.

My wastegate also sat against the "foil" wrapped soft line that runs along the frame rail in that general area.

I think you'll have to remove/cap the block vent at the back of the head and move/bend the hardline back there to create the space you need. The DOC manifold looks exactly like my PeakBoost.

Thanks for the info.

I thought it would be simple "bolt on"... I will see what DOC race has to say about it tomorrow.. Did you keep the A/C line as well?

I spoke to jr_ss and Broadfield and they gave me very good solution for this mess.

I decided to just put 2871r for time being. I am in no condition to invest more time and such for my car...

Oh well... soon, I hope I get to finish what I started.
