I hate to see the waste of a good little car, I bet it was a cracker to drive, police inspected as well.

RIP - But it is great to see you are not crying about it and have plans for moving on with the next one. If this happened to me I would like to think I could suck it up and say to my girlfriend, it's just a car, it can be replaced.

Let me know what measurement you need, I have the std SE turbo set up etc sitting in my shed, and I ma pretty sure it still has the EGR pipe attached to the exhaust manifold.


NA8 - BP4W IHI VJ35, 3.9 Torsen2, Adaptronic - SOLD
NB8A - mostly stock for now

If you look back a page you will see a freshly completed turbo manifold, Its for putting a T28 on an SE.

Ill use THAT cars original manifold if need be, but we are hearing that the EGR is in a different spot again.

Im sure Ill need measurements from an N/A NB.

Thanks though geofiz. :)

Looks badass, I hope he leaves it that colour, crinkle red would just be wanky and hideous.

If you can wait a week or two, I could make a trip to Newcastle in Apu and hand you my turbo bits...but I'd rather bring the Type R along as I want you to look at doing a few things.

Does this help position it?

15mm from the manifold flange to the egr fitting. I guess the angle is dictated by the dipstick tube...4-5mm between egr fitting and dipstick tube.

There it is all mounted. As you can see, its A/C and P/S friendly as well as being very low mount and fully tucked in. Just a couple of millimetres of clearance from turbo to block.
