I know there was a post by someone running this combination a few months ago. It was showing how much cutting was involved to fit this turbo, and i believe a installed shot of the turbo and manifold, etc. I have searched numerous times, but i just cant find it...grr. I believe it was Dee(?). Please post some pics if you guys have them, or link me up to that thread. Mucho thanks.

 

I think it was TurboT, search under his name then search under Max-Rev, and look at the 25+ pages of posts if you want, it had the pictures there

 

i believe ffgeoff is running the same set up
could be wrong though

 

newgsrdriver is running that setup.

 

already tried that....pictures are now just red X's....

Hey terry, Can you post more pictures of your old setup?

 

Boosted Hybrid

I'm running that setup right now...

With that max-rev log style manifold be ready to cut about 1 3/4 inches off the block and about 1 inch off the spyderwebing.. The way my turbo is sitting right now its still touching my block but just by a little bit, I'm also not able to run a pipe off of the turbo for a filter because the compressor inlet housing is so close to the clutch slave cylinder and line so I'm only running a coulple layers of fine screen...

I would post some pictures but my Internet connection is really slow right now so please be patient with me and I will post the pictures up here by the end of this week, I hope by than my connection is a 10 times faster...

doesn't the max rev allow the compressor housing to fae the driver's side too?

 

I have tried doing that and I actually have a picture of it too so please bare with me here and I will post it up...

Adi

 

let us see those pics asap when they get scanned

 

Ok Guys,

Here is what I got for now, the first and second pictures are of the max rev manifold with the 60-1 when I first started out with no modifications to the block yet.

The third picture is with the 60-1 turned the other way around and as you can see there is not much room for anything with the way its mounted like that...
I will also post some pictures of the final product as soon as I load them up...

Enyoj.

is that a t3 or a t4 exhaust housing?and is that exhaust housing on center?

t3 with an ar of 63 is my guess

 

Look at the pics again, it's not on center.

 

thanks for the pics...how close to the front beam does the manifold put the compressor when on the driver's side? Enough room to make the IC pipe coming from up top? I can't really tell from the picture

 

it looks on center to me. why put the turbo on one way and then on another?

 

that is ONE MOTHER OF a turbo!!
holy ****

 

This isn't on-center.

 

Its a T3 63 AR If you look really hard you can actually see .63 writen on the exhaust housing in the 1st picture..

If you guys are talking about the exhaust flange on the manifold being on center, Its not it is welded on more to the left of the manifold like in the picture on the bottom of this post...

If you clocked the compressor housing up with the turbo sitting the other way around you can make an intercooler pipe that would bend from the turbo through the stock winshield washer tank hole and down to the intercooler....

Also with the way I have that turbo sitting in there right now there is no way to put a filter on it...

i was asking if the turbine housing was a on-center housing, or tangental housing,but no one understood me correctly i guess.

 

what about adding a spacer to the manifold to make the turbo go out more? would that work or would it hit the fan?

 

I already answered your question twice. The turbine housing isn't on-center.

Look at this photo:


And then look at the other photos.

can someone answer my question pls
could you add a spacer in between the block and manifold to push the mani out a bit?

 

The way I got mine to fit better is I put two mr.gasket exhaust manifold gaskets between the head and the manifold but If you got something built like a flange or something like that to put inbetween you would need some extended studs.
But other than that It would fit....

Adi

 

That wasn't me because my setup didn't require any block grinding but I did have to trim the mount for the SPAL fan.

Dee: what manifold is that? very nice
