I bought the same one for my 25,,, wouldnt fit.

it ends at 3" where it connects to the downpipe but from the turbo it's like 2.5 or smaller. or at least thats how mine was.

 

how did it not fit?

 

wouldnt clear the Steering shaft.
hell its an SSautochrome special what do you expect ya know.

 

it would probably clear on the 20 I would imagine.

 

depends on how you mounted your motor. If you have some room now, you should be ok. If it is really close then you might have clearance issues.

 

dont get it, look at the bottom left hole on that elbow. it looks really close to the weld doesnt it. well, it did in the pic of the sr one i got, and when i got it, the one i got happened to not have any room in the between the bolt hole and the weld for the bolt to clamp to. i immediately bought a megan. the whole construction of the elbow was very poor and you cant return it.

 

I will not fit the RB20 or the RB25!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

now im really confused... i jsut dont want my psi to drop 4lbs haha

 

Ill find out wether it works on the RB20 or not in about 2 hours from now! Let y'all know by then

 

what you got some laying around.. either way, deal

 

I just dropped my RB in my car last night, was gonna put the elbow, downpipe, radiator etc on tomorrow, but i guess ill put my elbow on in about 45 min after i get off work to find out if it works or not, and to let u know!

 

sorry

 

OMFG, it wont fit on my RB powered 240sx.
Do you see that lil pipe for the wastegate on top of the elbow? thats the problem. the OEM one fits on there with about 2mm clearence to the steering rack, but on the ssautochrome one, the upgraded piping is what is causing the fitment problem. Although my friend who is helping me doing my swap is saying that it will fit on it just fine. It's 10.22pm here in socal and ill have to wait till tomorrow to find out for sure wether it fits or not.

 

yeah uh, 2 people have said it wont fit because of that.

 

well that sux

 

But then again, it doesnt fit only bcuz our cars r left hand drive cars.
I am taking it to a shop the have it rewelded. Hope thats gonna work.

SS Auto Chrome shoulda said something about their crap not gonna fit LHD cars.

 

yep on a customer's rb20 s13 car they had that thing on there. The little tube is so crushed now thanks to the steering rack. Really a PITA. but it's on there and car runs awesome. Just that tube is crushed in a little bit.

 

I emailed ssautochrome about that elbow a while ago and asked him if it would fit on my 240SX (obviously lfd, otherwise I'd have called it something else). He replied something like 'yes our turbo elbow fits the rb20det'. After searching a little more I found out it didn't. He's just a scammer if you ask me.

 

The only problem there is is the little pipe that come off the internal wastegate. I just sent my elbow to the machine shop and have them cut the little pipe off, weld a straight pipe onto it which is facing a different direction in order to avoid fitment issue with my steering rack, then just seal the hole on the buttom. There is 1 on eBay for sale from auz that look exactly the same as what i just mentioned. That way you have a elbow thats guarrenty to clear ur steering rack, with ur wastegate blowing to the air.

 

That little pipe is very important to making the turbo work correctly. if crushed you limit the waste gate's ability to work correctly!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

ya but how is it working correctly with the stock turbo elbow.. a little adjustment has to be better then that
