I have recently aquired a t3/t04e turbo-- and now i'm looking for a manifold. I really want an Inline pro manifold, but i've heard there are serious fitment issues with them? Why are there fitment problems, please explain the difference in bolt patterns cas' i'm a n00b when it comes to this! thnx!! also, which manifold do you think i should get for a street application w/ 8psi?

 

I know first hand the fitment problems w/ the inline pro manifold and the 4 bolt garrett turbos.

Now, Its only w/ the 4 bolt garrett housings, If you have a 5 bolt turbo, then you are fine, it will fit without much off the block, but if you are like me, and have the 4 bolt turbo, you have to shave a **** load off the block.

so the question is: Do you have a 4 bolt or 5 bolt exhaust housing?

 

I don't know yet I JUST ordered a garrett turbo from cheap turbo .com

 

Ok, its the four bolt.


You can do one of a few things....

1. Buy the inline pro manifold...Shave the block like I did, its a Pain in the ***, but it works,

2. Buy a manifold that was designed for the 4 bolt turbo (i believe maxrev is one).

3. Sell this turbo and buy a kick *** Precision Turbo from Arturbo and use the inline pro (which also can be bought from Arturbo).


What ever you decide, dont rush things. I am happy w/ my car right now, it only sucked while you are installing it

Good luck, and let us know if you have any other questions.

 

I haven't heard much about the precision turbo's??

 

Talk to Arturbo about them, they are extremely good quality, and a very decent price.

If you don't want a/c you can just turn it around and you'll be able to fit almost anything in there. I put a garrett 4 bolt 60-1 in my car, with a filter, and didn't shave, cut, or beat anything. This is a b16 in a 92 cx.

 

i have the maxrev and a garret t3/04e 60 trim 63 ar , and mine fit beutifully the standard mounting way

 

Call them up and cancel your order before they ship it and order a Precision from Art

 

i was thinking.. ANYWORD on whether INLINE PRO is making/modifying their manifold to have one for the 4 bolt turbo's?Art?

 

No, I doubt it because they run Precision turbos also.

But to the original poster, read my article that someone just posted titled " Garret 4-bolt vs. 5-bolt."

art

 

how do i find the prices of precision turbo's?? do they have a website??

Works for me!

 

This may be a dumb question but how does a five bolt mount up to a 4 bolt manifold? Or vice versa? Thanks

 

It's the dp flanges that are different, not the turbine inlet flange(which mates tot eh manifold). So as long as you have a turbine that matches your manifold, it doesn't matter how many bolts the dp flange has. The other difference, besides having a different number of dp bolts is the CHRA offset, which Art goes into detail about in his write-up.

 

Thanks.

So If I get a t3/t04e turbo I should get the T3 manifold from Inline pro or the T4 manifold? BTW, sorry about all the newbie questions. Just starting my research for this part of my project. I appreciate the responses.

 

T3 manifold because a t3/4 uses a t3 exhaust housing.
