Quick questions, couldnt really find an answer but I'm putting together my RB25 swap parts and got a deal on some McKinney mounts. Putting it into my S14 and I got a couple questions.

Steering shaft clearance, did you have to modify anything to the elbow? Also, what DP did you use? I got an aftermarket R33 DP, wondering if itll fit without modding it. And lastly, do I have to do anything to clear the sway bars? I'm running bigger Cusco sways up front right now.

If the steering shaft doesn't clear you can add a thick washer (steering shaft side) on the bottom of the rubber bushing. This will raise the motor mount enough to clear it.

As for the DP yeah it will bolt on. It might hang kind of low but it will do the job.

i have mckinney mounts in my s14, when i had the stock turbo and elbow on it it cleared just fine, i used a ching chong R33 aftermarket downpipe, i had it bolted to my stock s14 exhuast, the downpipe had twin 2inch pipes fit well, i was surprised

Well bumping this from the grave to do some update and give people some heads up. For some reason, my transmission tunnel seem tight even after I banged it out a bit.

Mounts will let you clear sway bars. I'm running some larger Cusco sways. Some issues that came up so far is that I didnt bang out the tranny tunnerl enough. PS hardlines, had to fanagle them some due to the mount wings. Also, the speed sensor is right on the body, wouldnt hurt to bang the front side of the metal box that the tranny mounts bolt into, on the passenger side. I'll try to take some pictures so I can show folks what I'm talking about.

Speed Sensor: Bang in a lil dent to give it some space.

Starter: Need more space, ended up using a pry bar to push it away from the housing.
