Default Do I have Enought room?

here's a pic of my current header, I still finding parts for my turbo setup, but I'm afraid i won't have enough room between the radiator and my block for my turbo , pipingand manifold. Removing the a/c is no problem, I plan to do that anyways. The turbo I plan to use is a T3 if that helps. I will be running FMIC as well. Is there going to be room? What type of manifold should i use?

What makes you think your engine bay is smaller then everyone else's?

Yes, you have enough room. Just get a kit.

cuz it just seemed like there isn't enough room by looking at it. also i was in a minor frontal accident but it's suppose to be fixed. i doubt the rad moved a lot.

so what you're aying is if i don't get a kit, and do a custom turbo setup, it won't fit? i don't see why not, cuz the kits with the t4 compressor are bigger than the T3 i plan to use aren't they?

a/c compatible manifold, like the revhard, and slimline fans will give you the space you need.

Lots of people on here have done it, what makes you think you can't?

yes, those stock fans take up a lot of room.
The shroud sticks out 6" on one of them.
90-93' Teg engine bay space

You should get the thin fans and mount them on the other side, having the fan push air instead of pulling it. Pepboys and Kragen have them I heard. This is what I am planning do. Check this thread out.
