sup HT ? got a real quick question , i currently have a inline pro turbo manifold in my DA and am in the process of piecing together my kit. so heres my question , what side did you put the exhaust side on ? right now its on the passenger side but im having problems with it clearing my half radiator ( the d/p gets in the way). if i put the compressor side on the passenger side the turbo does not clear the block. i would notch the block but i really dont want to do this if i dont have to. any input is apprecited. btw the turbo is a t3/t04e.

Which inlinepro manifold ?
If it is a ss t3/t4 a/c compatible manifold, you should have the downpipe on the drivers side.

 

yup its the ss t3/t4 a/c compatible . the main reason why it does not clear the block is because it has a slight angel on the flange so that the turbo is off set a litle

 

You notch the block a bit so the compressor doesn't hit it on the AC compatible manifolds. Don't even think of fitting a S housing cover on there either, lol.

i was actually thinking about putting a 60-1 with a cast manifold but everyone said 4" inlet is no way gonna fit with a cast manifold.

 

Yeah, have you considered notching the block? This often has to be done on AC compatible manifolds.

It won't. We have a car we just finished up and originally we tried to fit the S cover on it. We grinded the block down as well as the compressor housing. Just go with the E cover... it fits MUCH better. The block still has to be notched though with the E cover.

 

U also have to make sure you have a 5-bolt exhaust housing.

Since when? 4 bolt fits as well.

I herd this was also false. 4bolt housing does not fit with a cast manifold. it doesn't clear the ac compressor

inlinepro makes a t3 manifold for 4 and 5 bolt housing turbos. so you need to make sure you have the comptibility right. generally 4 bolt turbos have a very difficult time clearing the block on cast manifolds.

inlinepro 5-bolt


inlinepro 4-bolt

EDIT: btw these manifolds are made to work with the compressor on the passenger side. but i have seen them flipped around too.

 

i have the 5 bolt , by the way does notching the block make it lose any of its structural integrity ? im kind of weary notching it

 

are you using a 5 bolt turbo and 5 bolt manifold??

if you still need to notch it should only be the webbing or maybe some of the engine code area. shouldnt be a big deal, there is more material there than you think. just dont go crazy. there are probably plenty of threads in the archives about notching as well

u can notch it no problem. I think most ac manifolds (ram horn style etc) all need notching.

I think you mean a 5 bolt SVO housing using an inline pro manifold that is fitted for the 5 bolt exhaust housing. The manifold -- turbo T3 inlet flange is 4 bolt.

 

yeah this is correct , the manifold is a 4 bolt flange. what is SVO ?

yes we are refering to the turbine discharge b/c he is worried about notching the block
