So I have a ca18, and I just put a new t25 on it from a redtop. For some reason it wouldnt fit onto my old mani, so I had a turbo sx one in my basement i used.
Everything is done until I go to put the turbo outlet on it (part that connects the turbo to the intercooler piping). It hits the manifold and wont bolt up properly. So I don't know wtf is going on with this turbo. I've had like 5 different turbos on a CA before and never had these problems. Are there different sized outlets out there or are they a one size fits all kinda deal?
If so I'm looking for something that doesnt just go straight up, but comes out a little further to clear the manifold. Need something asap, either that or need some advice cause I'm confused. Thanks guys, Peace

s***.
What a headache. No wonder people go SR. I've had a CA for almost 2 years, so like 12 months of drivable weather...think ive driven it for 1 of those months.

i couldnt figure out how to PM you, so i guess i'll ask here..Ca_Silvia wrote:SR Turbo on a CA=gotta clock the turbo.
Ive put 3 SR turbos on my CA every single one needed to be clocked. I have used both Ca and SR inlets with little to no trouble.
what would you suggest for a step up from the stock T25, utilizing stock boost, tune and such.. ( i'm running a front mount as well as 3" exhaust)

Re: (killedbydeath)
as far as i was concerned, its a matter of loosening to 4-5 bolts or whatever on the back of the inducer housing, and clocking it to the desired angle, and re tighten? no? can somebody clear this up?killedbydeath wrote:

Re: (killedbydeath)
it's either that...or it might have a snap ring instead. If it does, just squeeze the snap ring slightly, and rotate the compressor housing slightly. Piece of cake, and only takes like 3-5 mins
Re: (Ca_Silvia)
yeah...second set of hands helps. I used a big pair of needle noses...like 10 inches long, and squeezed the snap ring, and my buddy turned the comp housing. I tried doing it by myself and it's next to impossible. I even tried holding the turbo with my feet..didn't help
