Last night I checked all the clearances for my turbo setup, and realized the T04E compressor housing is so large it not only hits the webbing of the block but it hits the radiator fan as well..

how much webbing needs to be cut? a slim fan is required? does it clear the clutch slave cylinder??

 

btw it's a 60/63 housing

 

What manifold are you running?? I had a SPoolin Performance log manifold and 2.5" dp with AC and didn't have to cut any of the webbing. BTW, the turbo was a T3/T04E 60trim .63ar

 

the drag 3 manfold clears the ac no problem. i had a t3/to4e 50 trim .63ar on my prelude.

it's a BLOX manifold

 

Try to run the compressor the the passenger side, if possible. It will have the turbo sit closer to the block, which will allow you to run AC / the full Radiator / etc.

Basically get it turbo around. Slim fan might be required though + re modified the downpipe to go on the driver side.

 

yea i tried that, (compressor on passenger side) and the compressor hits the block, i can't even get the manifold to go on the studs to bolt it up

 

i had one with a meutek manifold, had to cut the webbing and use a slim fan

 

Yea, if required, grind the webbing to get it to work, I dont see why it wont fit.

 

That is nothing new about the blox manifold. Just grind down the webs on the block until it clears. I also heard some use an extra header flange as a spacer to but I don't know how well that will work out.

great idea!!! ghetto fab FTW.. i will consider this if trimming the webbing isn't enough

 

then you will need long exhaust manifold studs

 

C'mon guys this is nothing new. When using an A/C manifold you have to...
1. Keep the compressor on the passenger side
2. Use a slim fan
3. Notch the block webbing for clearence
4. Use a 5 bolt exhaust housing

Also with the blox mani you are going to need an elbow for the wastegate or it will hit the head
