Clearance Between Turbo And Cam Cover?

[newcastler32]

Just recieved turbo today gt3082r to fit to built rb2530. It seems from a quick measure up that the setup is not going to clear the strutt tower in my r32 gtst. Steam pipe manifold made by reputable maker, and is of excellent quality. But I have about 45mm ish between turbo and cam cover.

I was just curious to you guys out there about how close the compressor housing is to your cam cover? Please list what sort of turbo and what model skyline. Thanks.

R32 - RB2530 - GT3788R - just enough room to get a screw driver between the comp cover and the cam cover to undo the screw if needed.

R33 - RB2530 - GT3788R - as above

R33 GTR - RB26 - GT3788R - as above

R32 GTR - RB26 - GT3582R - about 20mm

S13 - RB25 - GT3082R - about 20mm

There are more but that should give you enough of an idea

There is 47mm between cam cover and compressor housing. Can someone tell me how much clearance they have between turbo and strutt tower in similar setup? Compressor housing is directly inline with strutt tower.

S13's have the most clearance from memory, R32's have less and R33's have the least clearance. I think 47mm is going to be too much but it depends on how far forward the turbo is sitting also. If the centre cartridge is in line with the back of the 2nd cylinder runner, then it should clear the strut tower. If it's in between the 2nd and 3rd cylinders, I think it will touch. 3rd cylinder runner and you got no chance
