scroll to the bottom of this page and it will give you some pics of the tab that needs cut.

No prob, did you also get the full race kit? let us know how the fitment gos.
What i dont quite get is when you notch that tab, and basiclly make it flush with the transmission, doesnt that put your mount at a angle? how on earth would that work. The pics in that full race page are all of Sierra Sierra, so thats not exactly your normal evo.

Maybe the OP can please post up some pics of how it looks on your car and exactly what is needed?

This is the best pic of the problem i can find in my photobucket. The turbo needs to be clocked almost strait down or else the compressor outet hits the radiator. The front lower mount bracket on the trans needs to be cut in half and only the lower bolt used. Ill get pics soon of the mount.

I'll trade you a 7670 for your 8374 and then you'll be able to bolt it up

Ive been very tempted with all the drama trying to get this contraption to fit without talking a sawzall to my trans. ive been running my mouth to some buddies far too much to downsize now. After talking all winter off, i have some energy to finally finish this thing.

yea the sawzall to the tranny is a little unexpected, but to me having just one hole to mount that engine mount is a little more worring.
But yes if you get some time, Please take some pics up close of how you made this all work.

Then I'll say to my tuner about this. I could post some pics but will be a custom made kit and I think that it not will help

Do you have any pictures of the part of the tranny you had to grind off? Geoff said he was going to send them to me but he's probably crazy busy now. Still waiting for my 8374 to come in so I figure I would get as much info as I could while I wait

Did you know the turbine wheel fails in the first version of the 8374? I didn't know it

When you bought the turbo? Can you say me the serial number?

This is my second turbo, i actually got one of the first 8374's but was a ways off from using it and geoff told me a race team really needed one so i sent it back so they could use it. Last i heard nemo racing was using that one. This one is less than a year old, id have to look for the serial #.

I heard back from Jon at full race today and he sent me the photos that Geoff was going to send me. I wanted to share them with anyone else that had fitment concerns.
