Fitting A Garrett Gt3076 Wg

[tridentt150v]

Anyone that has one of these manifolds and fitted a Garrett 30 series turbo.

Did you come from underneath or can you get it from the top. I just tried from the top and it was so tight and I didn't quite get it in place before I started hitting hoses etc and I don't have any studs in the manifold for the turbo mount yet. So I'm thinking I'm running out of room just trying to get it in position so I won't get the room I need to get it over the studs {I cut into my engine mount, took approx 1/2" off at an angle and 3/4' down].

Any help appreciated.

My rb26 one, you have to sit the turbo in the engine bay, bolt the manifold to the head, and then bolt the turbo on, hope this helps

No cos I've just bolted the manifold in............................bugger........lol, I'll wait and see what others say, but might have to redo it all, @#*#@.

sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but i had to sit the turbo in the gap, then put the manifold on loosely, then get the turbo on the manifold, and then tighten everything up.

r33 is probably different though. I know the engine mount is different.

On the up side. Hoses can be relocated I know i moved pretty much all of my power steering lines (and the reservoir) to clear the turbo.

Some of the lines may need moving, the reservior should be OK, but I'll wait and see.

Im guessing just move the power steering res out of the way you should be able to slide it in and put it on

Hope that helps

I was under the impression the R33's were unable to run the HKS cast manifolds due to the turbo's positioning. :S

On a side note.. What did you pick the manifold up for?
