My mechanic just called to say he cant fit the Td05/06-20G to the new EJ257 2.5 Block, he said it was to do with the new block (Axis stage2) having 8 bolts as oposed to the old block (MY97 Type R) having 6 bolts.

As this biuld is just eating more money day by day this worries me, Any ideas on how to overcome this without getting a rotated turbo. Or is it a case Grinding and Bodging?


I'll post some pics tomorrow when I pop round there



Thanks Alex

Look forward to the pics. Is this to do with the downpipe? Or is it the actual fitting of the engine?

Grinder out, job.

This was detailed in another recent Projects thread i think; some hard grinding away locally will fix it.

There seem to be spome that fit fine, and some that don't, if they don't, it's a grinder job on the bellhousing til it fits.... don't remove too much metal though...

If it's due to the bell housing, you would expect all '99 on cars to have the same fitting issue !

What is more common, is the variances found on the aftermarket headers/up pipes.

It's not uncommon for the up pipe to end up in a slightly different place. As a double check, make sure the up pipe bracket is bolted up, and everything lines up. If you can't do it, then it's sitting in a different place.

I had the same problem with the standard TD05's water pipe hitting the 2.5
blocks extra mounting hole. Just needs grinding away a little to clear it.
