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.

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!

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.

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

Too much of a pain

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?

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..

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

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.

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
