Ok who has a pix of the Blox Turbo manifold with a t3/t4e on it on a Bseries engine???

Seems like they don't fit!!! even it the block is notched..

tried it on a LS and GSR block... to no avail!!!

don't say I don't know how to put a turbo on to!!!! LOL!!!

DOES NOT FIT!!!!

prove it by showing a pix.....a BIG debate about these manifold now...


When my friend brought over a REVHARD manifold and we bolted up the t3/t4e they fitted right up to the engine with plenty of room to spare.....NOT THE BLOX however!!! WE ARE CONfused!!! BIG TIME!!!

explanations???

 

wastegate isnt on yet is it? ive herd of clearance issues with the wastegate and blox mani. seondly , do you know how to install a turbo

 

you have a 4 bolt turbo, don't you?

 

I just spok with people from inline four, asking if a b16a blox manifold will fit on a b18b. I thought they would because for one, the blox's being sold on ebay say that they will, and for two I've read that the exhaust ports on all b-series are the same. However, inline four told me that the two manifold are different..... So maybe you have the wrong one? Maybe it's for a b16??? Don't know for sure, but just trying to share some info.

 

the deck height is different on the b16.....

 

so is the blox meant for a b18 ?

 

The manifold was probably based on using either a 4 bolt or a 5 bolt turbo. Ie, if the manifold is designed for a 5 bolt turbo and you try to bolt a 4 bolt turbo onto it, good luck! To compound things, a 4 bolt with an S housing, you could be into the flywheel with all the grinding needed.
With the AC location, you can bolt a 5 bolt turbo to a 4 bolt manifold, but you will lose some downpipe-to-AC compressor clearance.

Manufacturers need to make things more aware of what turbos can and cannot be used(we are using ONLY 4 bolts for our AC kits).

the manifold is made for a 5bolt. i have it in my b16. i will try to post some pics. i had to notch the block a lot though. LOL

 

well, since the manifold is a copy of inlinePRO...and inlinePRO, being a 5 bolt turbo manifold, I would think this manifold is the same.

Prepare to bust out the grinder and grind that block!

 

i have one on an ls/vtec no problems here just the wastegate sits right up against the valve cover thats all the problems i got no notching of the block turbonetics t3/t4 so it could just be that they fit perfect on an ls/vtec setup.

 

i had to clock my turbo the other way because of fitment. face the inlet to the drives side.

 

and it is possible to keep it the other wya but you have to take a lot of the block off. shave/notch

 

it wasn't a S-housing.. anyone using a S-housing usually uses the $700-$1300 manifold anyhow....MOST &lt;------ok not everyone.....

and yes it was the 4bolt garretts...

 

wierd that a 4 bolt garret wont fit

 

guess 5bolts only will fit the BLOX......stupid how nothing is mentioned....dang it

 

yeah bro .... the 4bolt do NOT fit... beware guys... if you have a 5bolt then it is ok, but still have to trim alot of metal off at the/near the VIN number.......this sucks... we had to make adapter plates for 2 guys' cars already just to use these manifolds with NEW 4bolt GArrett turbo t3/t4e 57trimers....

4 bolt turbos need a manifodl SPECIFIC for 4 bolt turbos ONLY. they have a diffrent configuration and set the turbo IN toawrds teh block more

hence you cannot use a 4 bolt turbo with a revhard./drag./inline pro manifold either unless you flip it the other way.

Yea well, you'd think they'd mention the fact that a TiAL WG will *NOT* clear the head on a BLOX manifold/B18C either. Lovley..

 

Just flip the turbo so the compressor side is facing the drivers side. Not AC friendly at all, but I bet you could fit any turbo reguardless of its turbine housing being 4 or 5 bolts. Saying "Blox manis ONLY work with 5 bolt turbos" is not entirely true. If you want to keep AC, then I'd say it is.
