anyone has pics of their setup? im clocking mines and the space is pretty limited for the ic piping. My manifold looks really similar to this manifold. http://www.godspeedperformance.com/1...8.html?image=3. i do have a xspower manifold also just incase.

 

Post some pics i am sure u can help you with that, if i got my turbo to fit on my manifold will find a solution for yours. And you can just raise it up with 3/4" spacer and just weld a 90* elbow on the compressor cover!

 

I have this all documented on my thread. You will need to get a spacer (flange) to get it off the 2nd rail. I bought the housing with the 90 degree bend in it and clocked it juuuuusssttt right.







this is without spacer





hope it helps.

 

another quick note since you had brought up the feed line...

mine came with an -4 adapter. It is a brass fitting that comes out at a 90. I had the boostlogic feed line kit which has the -3 end on it. I am going to have to either get a -3 female to -4 male adapter on it or will have to buy a new feedline (again)

 

Il have pics up shortly because the car is at my brothers garage. I bought a 90* elbow put really didnt have space to weld it on.

 

Thanks a lot that really helps. My turbo rubs the runners just like yours. plus im going to have to trim 2 studs to fine a nut on it.

For the feed line mines did come with a 90 degree brass fitting. So youre saying the pitch is made for a 4 an fitting? Mines looks a little on the bigger side.

 

I just went with the exact setup minus the 2JZ. The 90 degree coupling/elbow form DM, worked great. Since the space is very tight, I ended up putting a 1/4 inch slit in mine toward the turbo. This slit is where the housing on the intake side of the turbo is mated together. This 1/4 inch slit allowed me to push the coupling up further to allow the bend around the strut tower. The slit didnt hurt it at all. I just made sure I put the coupling on before the slit, worked great. I wouldnt weld anything on the turbo, JMO. In case you decide to sell it or go another route, much easier to undo a coupling.

Secondly buy the spacer for the turbo. Contact racepartsolution.com in Florida. Great customer service.

 

Well you must cut about 3" of the compresssor housing and weld the 90* elbow on it, then install the spacer ! That's your solution right there.

 

Thanks omar, for all your help now and before. Il get the elbow welded on today. I was hoping to get my car back on the road, but wont likely happen. Thank you all for the info il post pics as soon as i get there.

 

iconyq what size spacer did you use?

"Thank you for your inquiry. The feed fitting would consist of 2 fittings in order to reduce it down to a -3an line. You will need a 1/4npt to 1/8npt reducer, and then a male to male 1/8npt to -3an fitting. You can then attach the -3an line to that fitting with no issues. Let me know if you purchased direct from us and I can then get you a detailed estimate for both items"

This is the answer i got from full race. Im going with a -4 an line, the fitting looks like a restrictor to me, but im not sure. I just need the 1/4 npt to 1/8 npt and il be set.

 

here is a picture of it mocked up. Should i got 1/2" or 3/4" for the spacer? I have the 3" 90 degree aluminum elbow kinda hidden in the picture.


here is a picture of the fitting that looks like a restrictor.


and heres what ive been working with


Thank you all for your help. You guys are freakin awesome!

 

I think im going to get the elbow welded and probably try to polish the cover.

 

You guys will want to be careful with how much oil pressure your feeding the turbo.
I recently found out it is possible to drown your turbo
