turbo/distributor clearence issues on ssautochome manifolds?
 

I just got my ssautocrome turbo manifold and it looks great (way better than some headers for my m3 I got a couple of years back). I just heard that there may be a problem with these manifolds causing the turbo not to clear the distributor? Is this tru? Is it for all turbos or only big ones?

Anyone got a picture of the 2jzge manifold installed?

I have an SS AutoChrome Manifold also and I was wondering the same thing. I know that JPI manifold does not clear because my boy had one and had to get the boost logic manifold.
:eek2:

Couldn't you just weld a different flange on the manifold at the correct angle to clear the dizzy??(correct me if I'm wrong experts) check clubna-t there was a discussion about this in the iono-moto thread.

just get the flange angeled. shouldnt cost much from a muffler shop.

So does it clear the distributor or not?

No, it doesn't.

Jose is that the corrected flange in the pic?

looks like it to me.

Yep that's the flange I welded on clocked a few degrees out. Obviously the original flange's bolt holes won't line up so I switched to studs for the new flange.

So how do I modify the manifold? Whomever is saying that it won't clear the distributor, can you show a pic of what yours look like modified? :sad:

I posted a picture in post #6 that shows my modified manifold.

You had to mod the toyomoto manifold? or is that the xs manifold.

Mine is the Toyomoto manifold designed for the vvt-i cars (no dizzy). As far as I know the generic ones flying about are copies of this manifold so the mods are all the same across the board.

Oh ok gotcha
