rb25det s14 turbo elbow help

Hello,

I have zero lift mounts

I had the stock turbo elbow and it cleared the steering shaft just barely..

I then bought:

Turbo Dump Pipe Screamer - Nissan 240SX RB25 Swap | AM Performance

and the pipe does not fit between the trans mount and the shaft, at all, I removed the studs and cant get it in to go on.

My question is, what turbo elbow option should I go with?

Modify the stock one to clear the shaft until I eventually go topmount and need a new DP made anyway. (a year or so from now)

or, Syko elbow work with my mounts? any other brand?

Thanks!

syko will work great.


what I did.

I used the stock rb25 elbow that came with my rb...


then used a sr20 downpipe but modified the flange.

Simply rotated it about 24º

If you're planning on going top mount eventually, why waste money on a Syko Mount kit. One of the things that makes it so expensive is the damn elbow, that you wont need when you go top mount.

Also, because I'd rather drive/learn the car and work out the kinks before doing a big turbo setup

The syko turbo elbow arrived!

It came with all new mounting hardware that makes installation much easier

It best of all... CLEARS THE SHAFT

So that's a big win! Also the flanges are much thicker than the AMperformance elbow.

Shipped immediately and packaged excellent.

Excited to drive in a couple months haha

As for price, I believe it was 225 shipped? I don't remember but It solved my issue so I'm just very excited and it was worth it.. Plus the 2 arp fasteners and new hardware is just nice to have included
