Mirage manifold and engine tilting
Turbo Mini Forums

As per title - is it necessary to tilt the engine to fit a T25 on a Mirage manifold, or will it fit on a standard subframe?

I want to use this system, but would rather move the engine to the position it would be in an mpi, than tilt the engine.

Can anyone please tell me as I keep getting different views?

I donated, but somehow didn't get the label! :(

Mine is slightly tilted forward, only very slightly mind.

I'd rather tilt it than move it forward, so as to keep as much space up front for intercooler etc

These show the engine in - no stabalisers fitted so it is not tilted forward.

There is clearance - but not that much.

It is a t25 rather than a t2 by the way

Is that on a standard subby?

That's a lovely fit! I'm starting off with a T2, then probably upgrading to a T25 hybrid in the future, so I guess I'll be allright... the thing is that the Mini's going to the bodyshop soon for a concours paintjob (metalflake and flames) so I dont want to butcher the bulkhead aftrwards.... Cheers!

standard subframe all the way.

Relocating engine mounts or auto subframes is un-nessasary.

On a standard metro turbo installation on an all metal standard fitment front it is tight round the front - so why move it forward!

i just noticed your signiture.

PM alexb to sort that out!
