Allan - there's no room to run the exhaust around the back of the engine to the driver's side - but i'd love to see a pic of an 18RE engine just to see how they did it. I looked at mounting the tuirbo much lower, but then there's plumbing issues with getting around the alternator, the engine mount and the idler arm from the RA40. I also would have needed a car hoist to work on it This newer stup is much easeir to reach all the important bolts and fittings - version 1 was a pig to work on. the 2nd Turbo manifold (yes, that's Bigworm's old turbo!) custom EFI manifold: and trial fitting More pics here: http://www.mkhala.com.au/thechuckster/18RCT_progre ss/ [Updated on: Sun, 06 February 2005 03:52] [Report message to a moderator]
