did anyone else buy the MaxRev kit for use in an EF chassis? I am wondering if you are having issues clearning the radiator, even with a 92-95 radiator.

thanks,

I have the max-rev manifold and i mocked it up with a small saab t3. the area that i found the most trouble with was right at the compressor housing. the saab turbo only has a small compressor housing .42 and i imagine it is just a straight t3. without the fans in it is very easy to fit everything so i mounted an aftermarket perma-cool fan in front of the radiator and converted it to a pusher. i also removed the a/c fan from the engine side of the radiator because i dont' have the a/c installed anymore. i used summit pn# prm19008 for the fan and sum-g4990 to mount it, although the fan came with its own nylon mount kit. this is on a 88 crx with a b16 using the new hasport billet mounts. if you want let me know and i will take some pictures of the clearance and post them up.

 

well i took some pics but it was kinda dark in the shop and they didn't turn out. with the saab turbo mounted (.42 compressor a/r) on a b16 there is about an inch between the turbo and block and the turbo and radiator. that's way less than i thought originally. ffgeoff said that on a b16 the maxrev manifold and turbo would fit without cutting the block webbing so i imagine that if the distances on either side of the turbo are the same with the saab turbo (they are pretty close) that the t40e will just be a real tight fit.
