How easy fit engine with Greddy kit attached?
 
As per title, how easy is it to fit an engine with a standard Greddy kit attached, say the turbo with hot side pipework (RHD car, so the compressor outlet pipe would foul on the steering rack)?

i ask as this might avoid much of the awkward access issues.

You can do it but just be careful.

Definitely makes the turbo install easier if you do it this way. There are a couple NZ guys on the forums with low mount turbos, I'd ask them about steering rack interference's on RHD they'd know best.

Oh RHD, screw that.

Mine is RHD ,It's not really a problem if you take your time lowering the engine in . I know I've done it with turbo on the mani. but don't think I've tried it with the down pipe attached.

Thanks all.

Figured I may as well hijack this post a little. Are there any clearance issues coming up from the bottom if you drop the sub frame? I was contemplating going that route for my install.

TeamRX8 09-19-2017 10:32 PM

No. The exception would be if you built the system such that it would interfere chassis and you didn't create clearance for it. Otherwise in/out the bottom is the ideal method if a lift is available.
