Gt35r On Stock Manifold

[scarface]

i'm considering upgrading turbo to something larger and have found a gt35r with internal wastegate, its t3 flange, and i am wondering if there is enough room for it to fit on my stock manifold in the low mount position, any help would be appreciated

thanks

Will need a spacer plate to clear the manifold.

But yep, can be low mounted.

whats a spacer plate and how much are they

would i hjave to move the power steering reservoir or anything like that

I'm pretty sure this applied to RB20/25 manifolds if I am correct, because I know this is how it works on an RB30 manifold..

But someone feel free to correct me if I am wrong.

Basically because of the size of the turbo, front cover/housing, it will either touch the manifold or just not even get close, which means the flange on the turbo cant sit all the way up to the manifold..

A spacer plates sits between the turbo and the manifold flange to allow the turbo to sit a little lower down from the manifold, allowing clearance for the front cover to have space between it and the manifold it self.

Hope that makes some sense, if it doesn't I will have to bust out bad ass Microsoft Paint! And you don't want that shit!

A spacer plate is ..

A Plate, that "spaces" the turbo further from the manifold.. ie... moves it away so it clears.

Kinda self explainitory that one

if your talking about the garrett GT3582R-IW

then yes they fit fine.i was running mine low mounted for nearly a year, and have only recently changed to a high mount manifold due to my stainless low mount cracking. (as they do)

if your interested i have the spacer and custom stainless dump pipe you will require for installing it.

and i also have a stainless oil feed, and return to suit.

just put on a low mount stainless manifold, can be picked up for 200 bucks or so

And then have it crack and have to remove/fix the setup half a dozen times... ye no.

Too much of a pain

allthough the stainless manifold served me well for several years.

i would say better then stock, but wont last forever.

im using a 250 dollar manifold.. ill make sure ill let you know WHEN and IF mine cracks

i know of a couple of people using them.. and they have not cracked in a couple of years of VERY hard driving..

willing to show me different ash?

nah i dont want to use a cheap one, thats why i'm asking if it would fit on the stock one, because if not i'd want a quality low mount, its a mr turbo billet gt35r not a garret, its meant to spool quicker than a garret

[LTHLRB]

well then speak to leigh at extreme turbo manifolds to weld you up one..

and

yes you can use it on a stock one.. you will needa punch a hole in it for the gate where it all merges (near where you bolt the turbo on) and you will need a space for clearence..

GKTECH make a stainless manifold that has been personally tested by Greg on one of his track cars.

Took a good thrashing with a decent sized GARRETT turbo, constant abuse on the track with no issues.

He also does a lot of stainless manifolds for RB30 which have been running on some high power engines for a fair period of time.

I agree, some stainless manifolds are poorly made and are prone to crack, but some are good quality and do last.

Cast would still be the safest bet by far though.
