this is on my b18a. i'm not having an issue with the compressor side, but with my downpipe. there is a 1" x 1" nub that is pertruding to the left of where my a/c bracket used to be. can this be cut off? the first tube is already welded to my dp flange. this is a custom kit btw..
i search "block webbing" and everything was regarding the compressor hitting etc.

thanx.

 

yes you can cut it. it wont hurt anything

 

thanx, wasn't sure if it was hollow inside or anything. i need to cut it completely off. i won't see oil squirting out at me when i cut it right?...

thanx for the help!

 

just cut it flush with the block edge

 

cool, it's off. saw zall to the rescue.
thanx again man!

 

NO DONT CUT IT

 

and why cant he cut it. its a casting off the block with no oil to it . hell its half hallow for a bolt screw. dont scare the guy lol

 

Oooo no.....

this sucks.....something must have moved from where i marked it. it hits the block big time. now i gotta cut it off the flange, and re weld it. aaaahhhhh

haha, yeah thanx.

 

well im glad you got it at least, lol

It may just appear to have moved, but now that you actually took some off the block, it may have allowed to turbo to move into a different direction.

 

make sure to deburr the edges where you cut so there are no stress risers.

 

maybe if you cleaned some of that dirt off it might free up and inch or two of space

I used a $20 angle grinder from Ace Hardware, and shaved the **** out of my ITR block so my manifold/turbo would fit.

Worked like a charm.

wow, ok? i literally took off the a/c 3 days ago. i'm sorry for not jumping right in there w/ the simple green. getting the turbo kit on is my main priority. i am planning on cleaning it though, thanx.
