rb25det s14 turbo elbow help - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

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

I bought a greddy SR20 downpipe. Thanks for the tip! I messaged Syko today in hopes to get theres.

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.

And then ill sell the elbow

Syko elbow arrives on Monday and ill let you all know if it fits

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

Let us know when you get the elbow and how much it was?

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
