Lets see if you can pull it off. I had everyone telling me I couldn't block notch my vitara setup with the motor in car, but I did it. Took 5 times as long as it would of out of the car but I still did it

get to the garage asap and start mocking up some piping already.





















why aren't you there yet?

Maybe I'm confused, but how is the turbo gonna be bolted to the exhaust mani if it's on one side of the engine and the intake mani is on the other??

I am completly for this kind of setup I am new to this trying to turbo stuff, but I have a 91 civic which I think needs a turbo, and I am not willing to loose my air conditioning. Good thinking turbowagonman.

If you ------- ******* want to really keep your air conditioning it can be done, if you're willing to do that much fab work I'd look at utilizing a different condenser/ modifying the stock one to fit on the outside.

Usually I've just seen people run slim fans and a tight *** log mani.

I think this is no different from a rear mount turbo setup, only the hassle of a turbo oilling system and running charge pipe has been traded for area.

Do whatever, man. If it's an 88-91 chassis w/ B-swap it can't be any worse than putting the turbo in the tradition location.
