turbo charger ?

[selmerguy]

does it matter how i mount my turbo in the car? can the oil line going to the oil pan be on the top? I am installing a custom junkyard kit with a ihi rhb5 turbo. If i mount it with the oil pan line down the turbo faces the wrong direction. i can make the intercooler pipes anyway but it would be nice to have my air intake on the side it is supposed to be on.

Don't do a custom half ass turbo kit.... Try clocking the turbo, if that doesn't work you might need a new turbo

yup, clock the turbo.

It's a gravity drain.

clock the turbo? how do i do that?

please strike that last post from the recored. I can clock the turbo but that still wont move the air inlet to the other side but if i clock the hot side of the turbo down than i will have more room to run a pipe from my air inlet on the turbo to the passenger side fender for an air filter. sure hope i can miss the belts.

think it will work?
