BIC mounts do not sit flush

[Ds650rida]

my passenger side BIC mount hits on the oil drain line for the turbo. Has anybody else had this problem? how can i fix it?

 

[Bigzavs]

go single, end of story

jk, mine did the same when i contemplated stock twins, but i went single. you might wanna send randy an email

bend the bracket holding the drain tube.. should fit fine then

 

[kikwear002]

use an impact LOL

no but did you tighten the top bolts tight already? maybe thats the problem

 

[Ds650rida]

no everything is loose because the bolts are too long in the first place

idk if bending the bracket will work too well, because the tube is almost right on the block, but i'll give it a try.

The brackets are designed for REAR sump oil pans, which have different drain pipe routing. It can be made to fit the front sump pans but you will have to loosen of the mounting bolts of the tube and bend the tubes. But a front sump engine wont fit in the supra anyways........unless the motor is goimg into another chassis, which means you dont need the BIC brackets anyways.

its a rear sump.. you can clearly see the sump on the rear side of the engine..

do you have the brackets on the correct side? they might be backwards

 

[Ds650rida]

everything is cool now, i had to move the clamp for the rubber part of the hose, it still touches but when i tighten it down, it will go where it needs to be.

The bolt holes on each side are different.

the factory bolts are too long... the kit should have come with new, shorter bolts and washers, right randy? (mine did...)

 

[tlo86]

was gonna say i had mine on even when my front sump pan was still in and it fit fine then again i am going single

 

[Ds650rida]

mine did not come with any new hardware, just the mounts. ???

 

[Bigzavs]

hmm, mine came with bolts included as well, just pm randy and see what size bolts he includes and go run to the hardware store

 

[Troyota]

+1 with hardware. Did you get them straight from Randy or did you get them second hand?!?

 

[Ds650rida]

i got them through hpf, thats probably why, but the package came direct from randy.

i had the same problem, i just loosened the bolt next to the engine mount holding the oil line and moved the oil line down, then put the hose and clamp on and then the bic engine mount

 

[tlo86]

mine didnt come with bolts... wouldve been nice LOL i had to sift through my old bolts and found the right ones (i used the transmission mount to transmission from mount off my a340e for one) the aristos mounts are Waaayyy too long by themselves hehe. the FPD takes care of the intake sides mount and you just need 2 more bolts for that

 

[1jzMoe]

Just go to any auto parts store, and get some brand new ones. They are cheap.

 

[Ds650rida]

i pm'd randy on the size i needed, but didnt get a reply yet.

Since when did they start putting the alternator on the rear of the engine?

I got my brackets from randy, no hardware included. Wasn't that big of a deal, cost like 6-7$ from the parts store for em, and were easy to find. I didn't run into any problems when installing mine over that drain pipe
