Thread: B14 Starter ?

OK my starter died yesterday so i got a JDM starter from Miko. Well while trying to change the starter, there is a Big V shape bracket and i am not sure what the purpose is for? IT pissed me off trying to get it off and getting to the starter.

My B15 does not have a V bracket blocking the starter access.

the intermediate shaft bracket?

yeah.. i know what bracket your talking about.. does are a pita to take off..

no not intermediate shaft bracket. Its a black v that supports the intake manny.. Its a PITA to mess with while the motor is in the car. I too changed my starter a lil while ago and spent most of the time tryin to get that bracket out of the way from underneath. I took it off on my old motor. It's just a support doesnt really make a difference.

anything behind a de is just plain not fun.

what a pos that bracket is to take off. I got so frustrated i ended up just leaving it on with 1 bolt



now i know. my b15 does not have it and my old B13 did not have it was just a shock to see it on my B14.



i agree with you

Just loosen up the bolts and put it back when ur done, I was going to pull mine out but there was a bunch of crap that connected to it...

i found that when i was trying to take it off, the backet was ripping into wires i do not what they are for. It was a rainy day yesterday so maybe i can see it better next time i am under the car
