problems mounting 14b compressor on pass side on d16?
 

seems most people mount a 14b on civics so the compressor is on the driver side, including my last car, which is good except for the compressor outlet points stupid and needs to be rigged.

is there any problems mounting it the other way? only one i can think of is maybe the downpipe would suck to make and bent a few ways

or i could try clocking the compressor housing this time, but i was gona try and set mine up almost like it comes in a dsm with the side mount on the pass side maybe even try to fit it in the wheel well where they are in eclipses

Depends on the manifold you use. If you use a HF manifold the wastegate won't clear.

on a 14b the wastegate mounting is retarded. I had to have my compressor outlet on the driver side and as you said it was aimed really retarded. I think the best bet is to get an external WG and not have to worry about clocking the turbo with the internal gate.

mine cleared with my y7 manifold (flange welded on) on my y8. this is time its a egay tubular mani on a z6, i think it'l clear. i just hate the fucked up compressor outlet pointing up and crooked

yeah, when i did my first turbo kit on my y7 it was clocked upwards.
my 1st setup HMT style
Attachment 30696

i was using the DSM side mount. and a DX manifold with a 14b flange welded onto it. fancy heat sheild i made from sheet metal
