Hi, i have a gt17 turbo and a mirage manifold. The gt17 is water and oil cooled and it wont really fit without any mods to the bulkhead. Is there a smaller turbo or version of the gt17 that should fit?
Cheers

Gt17 does fit without bulkhead mods. You must have the wrong manifold.

what engine steady are you using?

Very late subframe has the engine further back to.

I have this and it fits.

As suggested what engine steady are you using, an adjustable would allow you to angle engine slightly plus what subframe. I've a late subframe and engine mounts are approx 10mm further forward.

As an afterthought, you have got the std Matty manifold and not the performance one with longer tracts?

Not 100% sure. Are their different size bodies for the gt17?

i have just finished doing my turbo conversion with matty manifold and a gt1752 turbo.you have turn the compresser housing and cut off the actuator mount and weld it in a diffrent position.you will need to grind a small bit of the block too.i had to get a ajustable engine steady and lengthen it some more
