what you are looking for is the syko exhaust elbow for rb25. there was someone selling one brand new for 300 and another one used was going for 200. better off throwing a t3 with vband exhaust and run low boost for now

what mounts are you running? I have the mckinney kit and my stock cast 02 housing works just fine.

nothing you will buy off the shelf is going to fit PROPERLY. All the aftermarket elbows are made for RHD cars.

you should find someone to make you one custom for your setup.

i have the mckinny blue mount kit ran me a pretty penny, and they said the stock elbow would fit but doesnt so if i cant find one off here im just gonna buy from syko i really dont have a choice also getting one custom made would cost a ton i just need like an inch more for clearance

Mine hits too but barely. I can actually drive the car but planning to grind the stock elbow soon, might want to give that a go.....

I have the mckinney blue mounts as well, I bought them close to 2006 so im not sure if they changed, but like I said I have absolutely no problems clearing the steering shaft with my cast 02 housing.

there has got to be something wrong with how you positioned your motor.

no everythings lined up fine like i can install the cast elbow but if i turn the wheel it will scrape and break the cast elbow. like u can see how close it is. also my stock hood clears fine and my trans is perfectly lined up with my shifter hole in the center console
