Stock Header Turbo Build

I've been away for a while.

Don't cut anything! We used a taller engine mount on the pass side and a lower mount on the driver's side to rotate the engine (clockwise looking @ the front) w/o the engine interfering w/ the hood. I will try to find out which mounts we used and post; I think a early 635 mount is taller. The driver's side may possibly be left stock, but I am not certain.

The most important part is making a mount plate for the pass side mount so it prevents stretching the mount. We have not done this yet. My son's car is in Daytona Fl. We will when he comes home for the summer.

There may be slight differences in the e30 and e36 headers, so keep that in mind. Perhaps others can provide pertinent info.


:DThe cutting has already been done. I am working on modifying it into a topmount manifold basically. I already got it to clear the strut tower reinforcement, now I need to make it so I can bolt my turbo to it.

I would still be interested in seeing what mounts you used. It would make routing my downpipe easier.
