Show your upgraded turbo on stock manifold

[Flamereka]

Hey I'm looking to see how yours are positioned and curious to see what everyone has. This is what I am going to install and have to clock turbo. Stock rb20det manifold with a wastegate flange welded on it. Turbonetics t3/4E 57trim 5bolt exhaust, tial 38mm wastegate

let me see some pics when that goes on the car. i just purchased a hy35 and am wondering where to cram an external gate on the stock exhaust manifold.

t3/t04e 60 trim .63 a/r and two spacers to clear the stock manifold. My W/G placement is the same. I did it last year, and you should have everything fit. The dump will be a little tight to snake around though.

did u make the spacers? also did you get new studs for exhaust manifold? if where from?

[240z4u]

Use T3 turbo flanges and I found some long bolts that I cut down to studs. Have fun getting your manifold/turbo apart in the car. I can't get mine apart unless I disassemble the center section, which sucks.

Well I currently have the stock engine in my s13 and I'm putting it in my s14 so I'll swap turbo and manifold on while its out.

[240z4u]

Yeah, just warning you that it is a nightmare to take back off once you have it in the car!

wastegate flange looks great. Was it difficult to weld to the cast piece?

[Flamereka]

I didn't weld it myself. I bought manifold from a fellow member. The welds are excellent and it was even cleaned up inside the manifold. I'm happy with the way it looks and as long as I get my turbo to fit I'll be all good.

youcan go to a auto parts store to get exhaust manifold studs, look in the stud section for the correct length for the application. i got mine from parts wearhouse, i used a 1/2inch t3 flange to space the turbo away from the manifold

Hey you remember the thread pitch? I remember trying to find studs for the exhaust manifold on the head was horrible.

[squbafreak15]

the exhaust studs coming outa the head are 50mm by10mm and 1.25 fine thread. i had trouble finding that size in grade 8 (i wanted that) so i ended up just tapping the hole so it fit standard. now i use bolts instead of studds i likeit way better. i havent really looked at the mani that much but put some channel locks on those studs and unscrew those b**ches. if they break go to a machine shopp have them drill them out should only be like 20 bucks

Here is my Stock manifold setup with ext wastegate. I Made an adapter plate that converts it from a t3/t4 to a t4 flange and it accepts a 40mm wastegate. I am running the Precision 60mm turbo.

[Flamereka]

you have steering shaft clearance problems?

[rb25drag]

Well I think with any turbo down pipe your going to have steering shaft interference. What I done was made my own down pipe. My turbo took a 3inch v-band clamp on the exhaust side. So what i done was ordered a v-band clamp kit with 2 flanges, and 2 90degree mandrel bent mild steel pipes and Cut them to fit then tig welded everything. I Have about 1/8th inch clearance between my down pipe and the steering shaft. But it turned out nice. It took me a while to fab everything tho.
