Okay, I finally got around to fitting my engine and everythings bolted in.
I have a problem with the intake runner hitting on the brake booster.
(as cn be seen in the photo.)
Just wondering what everyone has done to get around this.
I didnt have the problem before as I used an N/A booster wich is smaller in size.
Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
rims look good..
people i know that have done the conversion shifted the motor forward 1-1.5 inch forward i think it was makes the shifter line up better too, also allows you to take the box out without the housing hitting the tunnel.
maybe the booster is crooked?
you can muck around with the bracket on the front of the booster to pull it towards the tower more you won`t need much clearence.

I dont understand what the problem is.
Surely someone must know I really need help here.

Are vl engine mounts different on the right and left or are they the same both sides.
i've got the same trouble in mine
i just put an rb25det into a berlina n/a and its hitting the booster so what im thinking of doing is lifting the right side of the motor up and putting some thick washers and spacers on the engine mount.....hopefully that works but if you find another way let me know!

is it hard up against it or just touching?
It seems to be just touching.
Like I said the N/A booster is fine but the turbo booster sits a lot further out from the firewall.
back off all the engine mount bolts on the block aswell as the gearbox to crossmember bolts.
physically push the engine and box as far as you can away from the booster.
while someone holds it all there nip up the bolts.
yeah i don't see how u could be having a problem
if u using both the RB30 engine mounts it will bolt straight up,
make sure u have put the mounts on the correct bracket on the block that could be your problem!

same as what i've posted, you havn't mounted it properly
use both rb30 mounts and will bolt straight up
never had any issue with this doing my conversion
