guys,
just wanna confirm something.
i have been in the FWD SR world, and now Im trying RWD SR
the mech said the engine I got built wont be able to go in with intake and turbo manifold installed.
is he correct? what would you recommend I take off (if anything)?

Try to shoe horn it in there. It probably wont fit the in between the shock towers since it looks like the turbo and the intake manifold are sitting too far out.

Pull the turbo and intake off. Bolt them on after the motor is in the bay. With that said, I agree with Flip about the turbo not fitting, however, the intake manifold looks like it'll fit just fine.

ok thanks. will remove intake. turbo bolts suck, dont wanna take it all off.
oh btw. it all fit before... just went in as block then head then IM then Turbo. that method sucked.

Intake will be fine. Almost no way that turbo is gonna fit though, mine is smaller and closer to the block than yours judging from that picture, and I have several clearance issues

If it all fit before then why the hell are you asking us?

It won't fit. Take all that useless junk off and put in the trunk for safe keeping
