JHEIII874T5M Posted March 19, 2005 Report Share Posted March 19, 2005 ok, so I have all the oil fittings, the block's now 6AN, as is the turbo... but this !#$!#%!#$%!@$#%!@%#$@!$ inlet compressor (intake) side on a 50 trim is hitting the lower motor mount, for once the heater hoses aren't an issue... but the stupid mount is, fabulous... any ideas? I have both housings loose so I can clock it every which way, already hammered away at the firewall This sucksso far, the solutions are... 1) Ben's (TorqueSteer) coming over with the dremel and we're going to see what we can do about that lower motor mount 2) Nothing really smaller than the 50 trim, and I won't go 19T... might have to swallow my words 3) Put the stock 15G back on that would be total crapbut yea, if neone has a solution... AIM = JHEssayeIII, cell is 561 703 3547, seriously need some ideas here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlackT5 Posted March 19, 2005 Report Share Posted March 19, 2005 What about adding a spacer between the turbo & manifold, angled to whatever will work to get the appropriate amount of clearance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
550 Posted March 20, 2005 Report Share Posted March 20, 2005 I say shave the hell out of the mount. TURBO all the way. I was thinking spacer or something as well, but honestly I cant say that I know "exactly" what you are talking about down there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gronberg Posted March 20, 2005 Report Share Posted March 20, 2005 Do I need to come down there again Just cut pieces out of the support, like u-shaped cut outs and that should be enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Overboost850 Posted March 20, 2005 Report Share Posted March 20, 2005 I'm liking a spacer more than shaving/cutting the motor mount <_< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JHEIII874T5M Posted March 20, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2005 new plan is find a straight outlet 15G or 16T, just port it to living hell, and boost 15 PSI and add a 50-75 shot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
