Is E30 RHD can setup turbo ?

I'm presuming you are not english as i've looked at that very hard and can guess roughly what you are saying.
On a right hand drive model the steering UJ(universal joint) comes close to what would be the turbo manifold and front pipe. Wheras left hookers don't have this problem as obviously the UJ is on the intake side of the engine. Correct so far?
Well several people on here are doing or have done turbo conversions so yes it is possible. Currently i'm debating over this and keep putting it off as welding isn't my strongest point. But it is definatly do-able. Keep at it!

Will have some install pic up in the next few weeks dude, TBH the manifolding is not the real issue, the main gripe with RHD is the resricted space to feed the downpipe through.
One method I considered is to fit the turbo so the intake faced the rear, that allows the discharge pipe to run back under the manifold itself and exit through the stock routing, I thhink thats how deano has run his.

Email FTWYeah that is how i'm planning on doing it, well not planning in the middle of doing. I got two 90' bends welded them up that then goes just underneath the pipes that run to the oil filter housing, pointing in the right direction. And well thats as far as i've got on the downpipe so far. Just got to come up slightly to miss the engine mount and UJ iirc, then join to thhe existing frontpipe.ant wrote: One method I considered is to fit the turbo so the intake faced the rear, that allows the discharge pipe to run back under the manifold itself and exit through the stock routing, I thhink thats how deano has run his.
