Brilliant idea cheers mate , had already marked out engine on the chassis but the oil and card is a good shout for the rest ?You can mark the outer engine mount with marker ,an when you make your template ,you can lay template
down at your mark on the chassy.
Put a little oil on the bottom of your engine mount ,an press it down on the cardboard ,it should transfer ,
an then cut out ,lay cardboard back over on mount ,an punch your holes with small punch!
+1 to this engine mount set, if you guys dont ill probably try snagging it for my buddies rs4 build lol.I was watching these for myself ,an they are rare!

You should post those somewhere online as they were impossible to find!Thanks for chiming in , I managed to install it all yesterday I'll put some pics up later , touch of luck the gears came with fitting instructions so all went well lol
Hi peoples..
So I got up this morning a bit hungover and got on with mounting the engine to the chassis........
So I got the engine mounted and the transmission lined up and meshed nicely .
It's the cen nt-16 with kyosho 2 speed bell and the header/manifold from the original kyosho gx12 engine. it starts and runs ok not driven yet just started it up .
My question is ...is it ok to use the .12 header from the gx12 (.12) on the nt-16(.16) ?? It fits well and runs but the mouth/opening of the exhaust .12 header is ever so slightly smaller than the ehaust exit hole from the nt-16 engine . Is this a problem/ cuase problems ???
Cheers

Ahh sorry I must have missed it , just gone back and seen your post , thanks for pointing that out , again lol ? I've had a little look online but I'm struggling to find to one that would work ...they either exit and turn the wrong way or they have an (O) shaped mouth rather than a rectangular one . The one in my hand is what came with/attached to engine but it doesn't "drop down " so to speak like the kyosho header and means my exhaust ends up to to high like above my fuel tank lol .That is kinda of a lot of back pressure ,I said earlier in the thread that you should replace it ,
a lot of the engines performance is due to what tuned pipe you run!
Some people will channel out the mouth a little with a Dremel tool in an angle toward the screw holes ,
I had seen that done before!....
Yeah just tried it , it looked ridiculous lolNot sure you will get it to form a "U", but it would flex enough so the front of the pipe would be down low, but the rear of the pipe would be up higher.

I put a link to one a bit ago:Yeah just tried it , it looked ridiculous lol
I'm searching online but can't find a header that will work.....I need to exit the engine go down and left .....but all the ones I can see go right and or up lol
Something like this may work better and flow better:

Yep that's what was on it when it arrived , I've gone with this set up for the moment until I can find an appropriate header that fits right and allows the exhaust to sit back down on the chassis like the original was .Is that the original header for the 16 ,if so .use it if it fit your pipe!

It's not going to win any beauty contests but it allows me to use it until I find the part lol .
