After about 3 weeks of waiting I got my 60-1 turbo from Max Rev and beleive me I was as gitty as a little school girl to get it, I did order a full 3" custom downpipe but that unfortunately isn't here yet.
Anyways I imedeately bolted it up to the max rev manifold wastgate, dumptube so basicly the whole nine yards. After doing that whith a ver big grin on my face
I went into the garage to test fit the whole setup.

And here are some pics of what happened....







Now if you didn't notice it, the turbo inlet housing is hitting the webbing or notch on the block right by the clutch slave cylinder I beleive that is what its called...
There is quite a bit of distance between the manifold and the head to come together if you look up there by the exhaust manifold studs.

So now I don't know if it will give me enough room to just grind some of that aluminum away to clear that inlet housing...

I'm Open to any kind of suggestions you guys may have........

air powered cutter from local hardware store 30$
Pack of cutting discs 10$
satisfaction of knowing you chopped a small section of tranny support off the block - free
grin on your face once that bad rider spools up fully!!!! - priceless

go for it.. look at it this way... what could go wrong by cutting some webbing off the block?

BoostinDC2

yeah i also had to cut off that piece. but this was with an XS turbo

Adi Radoncic

Ok but how fahr should I cut in thou, or actually the question is how fahr is too fahr???
I don't wanna cut in and see my clutch in there...

Adi

Will have more room if you reverse the turbo and have it facing the AC. A friend of mine did his that way, but he removed the AC. Also if you do it that way you are going to have to modify your dp. May not be the easiest solution, but it works well

Mr. Vapor

hehe, welcome to the club, just about all us T3/t4 DRAG fella's had to do the same thing, its not to bad, just lots of cutting. its just a small hump in the road bro, keep your determination

Adi Radoncic

I could do that but the problem is that I already ordered a custom peace from max rev and its also on its way, so I'm stuck with what I got now...
Its all good thou

that compressor housing is huge. I don't think you'll be able to hack off enough to make it fit. my friend runs a 60-1 but with the smaller housing and he barely got it to fit in that spot you're looking to put yours. he hacked off a lot, with not very much left to go before compromising the block's integrity.

hmmm... interesting.

bigTom

i wouldnt cut a thing... u have to turn it the other way...

Arturbo

Let the cutting begin!!

art

SEFIxCivic

that sounds like a good plan to me.

Adi Radoncic

Here you go Tom and don't say I didn't try.....

I don't think this is the solution



So just like Art sead "Let the cutting begin" is what I'm going with

Adi

SEFIxCivic

it would work if you got a del sol vtec dual core radiator.

Here is a comparison of the my old .48 a/r turbo supplied with the drag lll kit and the 60-1 .62 a/r





Pritty scary.......

SiR Kid

Here's your solution....

And this was just for a li'l t3/t4<B I guess> .48 exhaust, .50 compressor.

MugenSi00

cutting the block is part of going turbo...everyone has to

st00pid

You can send the turbo in and get a different housing.. they can fit a 60-1 in a T04E housing. When I order 60-1s I get them in the E housing so that I dont have to grind as much. there are no performance differences.

Arturbo

Thats true to jason. Where have you been??

b18bturbo

i never grinded anything on mine either.

SEFIxCivic

on my friends 60-1 with a smaller housing... he cut off WAY WAY more than that. he had to trim off the corner that has the block number.

newgsr do u still have your old turbo

rjardy
