ca18det t3/t4 topmount manifold

[cuzan0]

welp i was to lazy to pull out the old motor and put the purple one in,so i just took off the manifold and test fitted the sschrome t3/t4 manifold with my 38mm tial wastgate.,and i know i am missing a cam gear bolt i had to steal it for the other motor cause it was missing one,anyways the turbo fits nice with 2 1/2 to 3" inch clearance from the strut tower and same with the wastgate it clears about 3" inches too..

Yeah... sure is pretty . Mine looks that pretty... but with oil coming out of the turbo

[quest]

placement looks good... can't see any part of that pretty manifold.where is your ignitor positioned ?Waht turbo specs/ where u got it ? looks more like t04b compressorthanks

[quest]

nab911,u got your first t28? turbo that failed from blaast performance.How is the new t3/t04e holding up... looks good on paper.Did they exchange/upgrade to this one ?Anybody else have problems with blast or turbo calculator turbos ?

[nab911]

Lol well... i went straight from the tiny t25 to the t3/t04e from blaast, i blew it, got it replaced, and just blew the new one. I love blaast, they have the best customer service i have EVER seen. But its my faut i blew the turbo so im not going to send it back again. But i need to find what oil feed and drain lines i should be running because im pumping to much oil in that it cant move out.

[quest]

t3, stageII, t04E, 46trim warner/ihi is it ?Problem lies with routing your oil drain then ? I'm assuming you feed from stock location ?Good to hear customer service is top notch.Do you know of folks running blaast turbos sucessfully ? I'm looking for a t3/t04b and lloks like everybody took 'em down from their websites, except..... Too bad u blew another new turbo. Hope you sort it out.

I think the T3/T04B stage I unit I used was the ultimate turbo for the CA18DET because it was flexible and very responsive and also did not lack too much.

Lol dee hasnt had much luck with those . Yeah well im going to maybe switch to a non hardline drain today and see whatsup but i have to get my turbo rebuilt this weekend when i get my exhaust built. All i really need is some way to restrict the oil feed...

[quest]

thanks for the offer Dee. I'll most likely hit u up.I'll at least need for different projects;A 0.48/t3/stage1/Strim/t04b excellent on a street 1.8LLooking at a 0.63/t3/stageIII/Vtrim/t04b alsoI have the turbine housings. Prefer to rebuild my watercooled centers.I'll need a sr t25 machined for a "hot t28" cartridge too

You been in this game a while, so u may have a source for putting together 'reliable' turbos that last a bit for daily street use ?miami/ m.i.c. ?You get 360° thrust bearings in your turbos Dee, or opt not for the boost levels you run ?
