The drive side I also cut tHe inside but still and it crack the top of my cf hood

 

would a jdm hood work?

 

Not sure I wonder If others have this same prob

 

can you adjust your turbo or something to make it lower?

 

Nah I can't it's weird I'm running a log manifold and a tnetics deltagate wonder if the tial wastegates are smaller

 

Can I adjust the latch mAybe?

 

different turbo manifold or get an internal wastegate, or u might get away with getting a smaller wastegate, or u can relocate ur wastegate...or try lifting ur hood from the the back....if it was my car i would just relocate the wastegate, u can fab up a pipe urself and weld it if u have welding access or take it to a shop they couldnt chage u anymore than 80 bux to move the wastegate

 

I had this same problem when i used my old log manifold. The wastegate would hit the hood and i couldn't close the hood at all. I bought two wastegate flanges from ATPturbo.com. I ten welded a 90 degree peice of tubing between them (you can order a 90 dergee piece or make pie cuts). This placed the wastegate off to the side and actually made it a bit easier to recirculate the exhaust. Shimming the hood in the back wony be anough because the motor moves a good bit while driving hard. Neither can you move the latch without getting a gap between the hood and filler piece. Hope this helps!

I have a Tial 38mm Wastegate that sits on top of a Inline Pro Manifold and I was able to cut the webbing out of my hood to get it to fit, in your situation though, I would get an elbow that will move it out of the way.

Something like this:

Thanks to whomever's car this is on HT

 

Ok perfect thank you guys!!!

 

as soon as u said u had a log mani i was like yup thats the prob lol. the ef's dont have much room up front for those, log mani's are better in 92+

 

Wat u mean by that? Those mannis are small I'd see if it wer a ramhorn

 

because of the position that most log mani's have the wastegate. most of the waste gates that ive seen are higher than the valve cover

 

Get an Elbow and a tial WG, those delta gates arent very good, they tend to creep

 

Ok cool thanks by chance do u know a place tht sells the elbow or do I have to have one custom made

 

Spoolin makes one, im sure other places do too.

 

Anyone know what kind of manifold that is in the picture? Looks to have really good clearance.
