OMP Adaptor and 500R SP
Hey guys (and Gals) I just installed an RA Omp adaptor. My car is still on jack stands while I am doing some other work so it has not even been started since the install. I am running an A-Spec 500r Sp turbo and the clearance between the OMP and the front exhaust manifold is now less than 1/2". I am concerned about heat causing the OMP to fail. Does anyone have any experaince with this?

If you really are concerned then pull it, otherwise I would find some heat shielding / fire blanket to cover it with. I pulled mine and decided to premix and I have been happy as a clam.

OP and Ihor, which manifold was used, the short runner or long runner? I'm getting a short runner 500R-SP and I'm planning on adding the OMP adapter, and I was thinking there would be enough room between the OMP and manifold, but I was curious about fitment with the oil return line being right there. Any advice or input?

Well I'm using that piece on my current single, and I was thinking about trying to use it again but A-Spec cuts those lines to length and I'm afraid I'd kink the line if I use it. I might still give it a shot, and if it doesn't work, maybe I'll just try to find the shortest fitting I can to put between the two pieces A-Spec provides just to give me the little extra bit I need.
I like how you think! LOL
