Solid mounts?? I would rethink that.

I talked to Mike about that, he's going to be using some kind of rubber isolator.

As well as triangulating the mounts.

Good to know

Yea I would deff be putting some supports on that. I built my the exactly the opposite the big part of the mount is vertical with horizontal and diagonal supports. Good luck and it is looking good so far.

Yeah those pics are not of the mounts finished. I went and added a lot more to the mounts i also have rubber under between the mounts. I am not worred about the mounts im more worried on what im going to do with the hood. The engine hits the turbo hits so im thinking cowled hood or have the valve cover modded and make a cut out in the hood for the turbo.

i was going to use this and mold it in so i could try and make looks stock ish. I need something 27-32" wide and no longer then 36".

That's a low mount turbo, how does it hit the hood?

I think he's using it as a highmount.

That was the stock turbo im running a top mount gt35r now.

So got my 35r today bolted it in and boom i now i only need 1.5inches to be able to close my hood.

So my hood fits new i went and got threaded rod connectors and then taped them for m8 1.25.

Here is a photo pics.

Damn, that's sucks man.

I'm sure you could have a new manifold/dp made to lower the turbo, but to clear the engine this came to mind.

Yes i have looked into the hood but im thinking of later on new manifold to lower the turbo 2 inches.

Nice progress. I'd go with different manifold too. What kinda manifold is on there now? Kinda looks like a megan tubular or something like that.

I'm thinking it's OEM.

OEM:

Stock mani is a t2 flange, too, not a t3/t4

Come on, people. Read the thread.

LOL im running a Treadstone cast iron manifold, but once i get some balla money im going to have a balla manifold made. So its hood spacer for now.

Ahh, my mistake. I saw rust and I thought 'must be oem'.
