I am having trouble getting my turbo to fit with the manifold I have. It's a cast log mani. I have a 50.trim turbo t3/t4. I put it in one way and there is no room for a downpipe because the alternator is in the way. I put it in the other way, and it's too tall and I wouldn't be able to close the hood. Someone help! Pictures would be nice if people have them. in a prelude si h23

Im Installing a T3/T4 turbo in my 93 honda prelude,

UNFORTUNATELY!!!!!, I had TO remove the front mount in order to fit the turbo in. now its a h22a motor and the shop said, "well when you put in turbo its a lot of custom work and cutting," your gonna have to get rid of the front mount
he said its not doing anything anyway really because I have a rear mount and 2 side mounts. i just wanna make sure hes right.

is it ok if I remove my front motor mount from my jdm h22a 93 honda prelude in order to fit my turbo in?

i got a t3/t4 turbonetics w/log mani and it fits...................tight.............but it fits. buy a flange and refit the down pipe is my advice

get some innovative mounts, the kit takes care of the front mount and it a nice upgrade from what I have heard.

I ended up getting a ramhorn, taking out my PS and AC. Fits pretty well. But yes you can take out your from engine mount as long as you poly your other mounts or like he said ^. I also cut out my bumper support to fit my fmic. Cut out some of the front end brackets as well for the piping.

You do not neeeed your front engine mount if your others are in good shape, but I would recommend eventually just getting a smaller engine mount.
