SB engine swap

Post by Dainius90 »

Hello,

My dad is currently taking out his old engine JX engine from 1990 T3 bus. He wants to put an SB series engine with a turbo, but he has encountered a problem. The new engines turbo is touching one of the engine holder. How have you solved this problem ? Are there any other type of manifolds which would take the turbo further from the engine holder ? Thank you for your answers.

use the JX manifold and turbo, or re-index the turbo
