Pretty basic, yo just need the tools. Unbolt the front suspension from old kmember, unbolt motor from kmembner (have it sit on a jack). Bolt new Kmember to suspension, bolt motor to new kmember. Pretty basic

 

He's obviously not a very good mechanic. I can get them done now in a day on jackstands. A lift would cut several hours of work IMO.

 

hey spinner, i had the same problem w/ my jet hots,,,i had to cut the half tube about 1/4-1/2 in off, and it went in with a little grinding on the frame,,how bout those jet hots huh? lol

do you think the bmr is worth it because its like $440 or should i just stick with the stock one
thanks

 

If you have the $ go for it.


I got the DRIVERS SIDE IN! WOOOHOOO! Had to grind the lip of the kmember off completely, jack the motor to its peak, and i shoved it the fzck in there. . Slip-fot doesnt want to slip, fit and the steering linkage doesnt want to go back on. oh well. at least I got it in. its 30 degrees out, so looks like i'm gonna try to finish tomorrow

 

Same thing we had to go through. 2 hours with a hacksaw.

In all honesty, though, its the K member being adjusted differently on each car, its not Jet Hot's fault.

 

I know . Doesnt mean i have to like it though, lol

 

spinner??? wtf kinda LT's do you have? i have FLP's and it took about 5 minutes to get the driver side in, all i had to do was loosen the metal loom, holding hte stock wires, just took out the back bolt and loosend the front and moved it, with a little positioning the header went right in, now on the passenger side, just the starter and alternator were taken off,.... i can see why everyone says theyre pains when you lift the motor, disconnect the steering, bang ****, grind ****...

 

FLPs are together and relatively straight. Jet-hots.... are not . read the thread, ive said a buncha time that they're jet hot long tubes

 

If I didn't have all the crap I do on top of the motor (fuel lines, notrous system, water injection, etc.) I swear it might be easier to just drop the cradle and motor to change the plugs, let alone install headers. Two people, working with a lift and air tools, can drop the cradle in less than an hour after the wires, vacuum lines, fuel lines, radiator hoses, etc. are disconnected. I am not seriously suggesting it, it's just a comment on how GD hard these cars are to work on.

sorry sorry, i saw they were jet hots right after i posted... whats the point of the header not together... i dont know anything about the jet hots

 

chris: if you can't get em in, you know i'll take them off of your hands

also, what did you ever end up using those rims for?

 

The two rims with more tread I'm going to burn off as soon as I can get these finished. IE: Play tires

The other two are getting 26x11.5x16 ET Streets for the strip around Xmas

 

Like Rich said, if you have access to a lift and air tools, drop the k-member and all to install headers. This is how we put Jet Hot LTs on a friend of mine's 95 TA. Had no problems whatsoever.

 

All I can say is Thank God I work at an exhaust shop GO MIDAS !
