So I started the turbo project and I have some issues already in the first step of course... Straight to the point the turbo is basically sittin on the front engine mount and the drain port is sitting right over it... Also the downpipe does not fit between the frame and the oil pan!!! Here are sum pictures, n e suggestions???

 

what kind of car?

 

93 prelude Si H23 motor

 

help!

 

Post pictures of engine bay over view from top with the manifold in. Is it not possible to fit the turbo the other side!!!

 

I have a simlar setup with an h23 in a 97 accord. I used a tripple core race rad & it had very little clearance. I had the down pipe custom fabbed. Mine was 90 deg to the pass side and then down. Then 90 deg to go underneath the oil pan. I don't have a pic right now but will post later. If i remember correctly it took 9 cuts and re-welds but worked out fine with no loss in pipping size.

 

 

Try putting the turbo other way.

 

I have a turbonetics kit and the piping is made for it to go a certain way...

 

oh you can tell from that pic of the downpipe that it definitely goes the way you have it. i would try clocking the compressor housing and see if it will give you any more room between it and the motor mount. for the dp, try putting it up through there with the longer lower exhaust side facing the drivers side front tire, then twist it once it goes up through. maybe this has been tried but im just going off of what i can see.

 

looks like you have to fab that mount with a drimmel tool. i cant tell on the dp is it to short?
