"plenum To Intake Pipe" Hose

[islade]

Hey guys, just bought this exhaust manifold:

and realised that he's running a front facing plenum, which i'm not, so i assume this hose will be in the way (see attached image)

what would you guys recommend i do to move him? I wasn't keen on the greddy copy manifold due to shorter runners = decreased low down torque, and i can't afford a plazmaman plenum.

I'm thinking of doing that "shorter intake piping" http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/index.php?app=core&module=attach&section=attach&attach_rel_module=post&attach_id=310091 and figuring it out that way, or is there a better way?

Try the manifold before you change things?

Very good advice

What would be a safe distance from manifold to that hose? Eg: if it cleared by 10mm would the heat eventually melt the hose?

oh wait

are you talking about the hose thats coming out of the Exhaust side rocker cover? if so it goes to the suction pipe that goes from AFM to turbo. You should have this on your stock setup anyway? will go to the same spot

You can easily get around that, just have a almost 90 degree bend off the throttle body - ive seen plenty of setups like that.

They curve back around the driver side breather for the cam cover

Naah, it's the cold start hose that goes from just before the blowoff valve, straight to the plenum, it's a hard black hose about 1" thick that is between the intake pipe and the firewall

Oh your talking about the AAC valve hose. Now I get it. I wouldnt have thought it would be in the way? on the stock crossover pipe its plumbed in on the exhaust side of the blow off valve. Yours would have this setup now? I think everything will sit above the new exhaust manifold? I'd dummy fit it and see
