Strut Tower Brace Questions

ok, need another Idea of a Shop project and I came up with a strut tower brace! now, i need ur guys help, who ever has the D15B2 with that big ugly box and u have a strut tower brace i need a pic of it along with some quick measurements, i need my layout in by Friday i think :(

Thanx a Million 2 the ppl who help out! :)

Bump
c'mon, i'm sure SOMEONE has one!

The Neuspeed will fit the D15 engine. I don't have that engine in my car anymore but I can't imagine it being that hard to make a copy of, just keep it high up and around that D15.

alright
will there be enough hood clearance for the bar? or do i gotta make it like a boomerang and go around the box?

\___/ make the strut bar like that and it will clear the DPI box. I had a normal generic strut bar on my car when i still had the D15b2 and it worked, although it was rubbing on the DPI the entire time. I would suggest a bar that comes forward in the engine bay and avoids DPI altogether and this type of setup would still work if you swapped the engine.

I have the Neuspeed strut bar in my sedan with a d15b2. The issue I have is the CAI and strut bar rub a little because of the DPFI intake & throttle body are in a slightly different place than the MPFI setup, so my CAI sits up a little I think :bloated:

But the strut bar fits just fine. ;)

i have the d15 with an apc (piece of crap) strut bar. yeah it hits the dpfi box (rests on top of it) and the finish is getting frosted because the hood hits it and vibrates it. my thought would be to make one of solid steel not hollow aluminum, then shave the bottom of it so it goes over the box, without touching and shave some off the top so the hood misses it.

i was thinkin of that idea but going between the DPI box and the Firewall with it, then have it like the neuspeed for VW's (only ones i've seen) that have 2 bars coming off for the other bolts
