Default Going turboed ... now some questions

first is.. i took out all the ac componets... hence more space ! now i also changed my rad dues to a fact ath it cracked.. so i got myself a koyo high flow rad.. which is longer than the oem from an hf. fit nice and boy it cools down ... had the fan installed pushing ... now ... do i have enought space for a t3/t4 and do i need to change my crossmember ? another question is.. which side should the turbine side go ? thanks you very much here are some pics fo the engine bay.

the intake side of the turbo depends on the turbo but on the t3/t4 im pretty sure its towards the tranny...

expecialy with a b-series in an ef/ed you need to change the x-member to an aftermarket one (im not sure whats goin on with jim-fab last i knew he was down...

you will also most likeley need to get a 1/2 sized radiator.. my friend has one and welded up custom mounts and the eg radiator fits like a glove stock hood closes and everything and no gangsta lean

depends on what mani you use, you may be able to get away with it but it will be close I just got a JK crossmember which has the mounts for a EG size rad I think it was $277 shipped not bad for the price and which way you have the turbo facing will also depend on what mani you use, if you can weld the you are probably be fine make a top mount setup and you should clear it, I had a 2.25 dp clear the stock cross member without cutting or bending it at all so its possible but i fyou want to run anything larger then 2.5 I'd say you'd need to modify it

With a log manifold you can probably get a t25 in there without any issues. T3 might be pushing it. But since you ditched your AC you might as well get the neon or del sol 1/2 radiator.
