Well I just test fitted my t61 and ssautochrome manifold and found that the turbo doesn't fit. the hotside hits the frame and needs another 1/4 to 1/2 inch to fit. What to do????

haha thanks man, but I think I'll pass do I have an on center housing? and if so could that be the reason it's not fitting?

What size housing are you running and what brand.

it's an aireasearch .96 ptrim.

the fd manifold would work a bit better I have one on my car. It would work perfect if I had your exhaust housing. I had to make a spacer for mine to clear the intake manifold. I have a 1.15 divided housing.

well the problem with going fd manifold is that is a divided manifold and the turbine housing is undivided. Does the cast hks make the turbo sit alittle higher?

does look like an on center housing... it would probably sit more inboard and higher w/ a different hotside.

hum..........interesting. maybe I'll just get a new housing then. I wanna make sure before i get it though. any way to tell for sure if it's on center?

Yep that is an on center housing, they dont work with the FC chassis unless you want to cut the frame rail? Just get the same sized housing but tangental.

thanks man I do appreciate the info! Anyone want to buy this? 100 bux shipped

I have the same problem in my FD and I change the turbo housing for a tangencial, and fits perfect

ahh grazie that puts the icing on the cake. hopefully I can sell this on center housing.

I had a similar problem, but it was the other way around; the turbo would not cleared the intake manifold. Solution, get two turbo flanges, and have somebody weld two tubes (for both exhaust runners) between each flange. The trick is cuttings the tubes at an angle on one side, once you weld everything together, you will have a flange than is at a flat angle (horizontal) and the other flange will have an angle (sort of like a ramp).

good jesus all mighty! that is a crazy solution! i'm glad everything worked out for you but seriously I would rather just buy a t4 .96 hotside and be done with it

BoostedRex

Yeah, it should be a very easy solution for you. Just pick up a different turbine housing and call it a day.

And since you know that your current housing doesn't work with our cars for the most part, why don't you try off loading that housing on Ebay or something? I would think it would sell pretty quick there.

oh ok I thought it did work on the fd's not on the fc's. Ok off to ebay it goes thanks.

hondahater

iTrader: (2)

ok who sells just the turbine side? I've been searching for two days and can't find ****! Thanks.

BoostedRex

I thought you already sourced a new turbine housing. You're still looking for one? Have you checked with ATP yet? Or you might try getting a hold of Bobybeach on this forum. He is a Master Power dealer.

actually the hotside to this turbo came from bobybeach, lol. actually the hole turbo did. Anyways i checked on atp website and didn't find anything on turbine housings so i guess i'm still searching.

hey what size and what turbine wheel trim do you need?

hondahater

iTrader: (2)

I need an undivided t4 .96 and the turbo is a ptrim.

RETed

Sounds like you got the wrong manifold.
It sounds like you got the FD one instead of the FC one.
The FC one has more clearance for the LIM.

No, he got the right manifold, he just got the wrong turbine (on-center).
