Distance between 7M and shock tower?

[Dan88t]

Hey all, hopefully someone has done this before and knows - I'm putting my engine (7m) together on the stand and the exhaust manifold i'm using is forcing me to add a big spacer to keep the compressor housing from hitting the manifold but the angle of the T4 flange has it pushing the turbo out rather than up (crappy manifold design - should probably just chuck it).

Does anyone know the distance from the head to the shock tower? Like some known point like a spark plug or valve cover ridge to the shock tower?

I don't want to go to drop the engine in and have it not fit.

Thanks!

You don't have a tape measure in NY?

I'll say it so you can understand - derp, the engine's not in the car derp, rather than trying to guesstimate based on where the engine mount is, I figured someone has done this before

You, Nick M, are the worst person on this board and the reason I almost never come here anymore, you try to post on every thread and pretend like you know what you're talking about but you either misunderstand 90% of the questions asked or are just plain fuckin retarded. Simply the worst person in the Supra community bar none

If you know the distance between the towers, you can find the centerline of the car. And then from that, find the centerline on your engine, and measure from centerline to the edge of your turbo/flange. It will require some math but might work for you.

I'll measure mine for you after work. Keep in mind the engine mounts will allow for small amounts of side to side play so my measurements may not match yours exactly when your engine is in.

It's about 10.5" from the side of the head right where the valve cover sits to the inside of the shock tower.

How do you expect to measure it? And whatever you do, don't plan ahead.

Don't ask such an idiot question about how to measure. I was being polite, but you lack the capacity to know any better. Much like the capacity to use a tape measure.

im using the cheap driftmotion manifold, 1" spacer with a s362 and i have enough room.
