n e body know where i can find a 3rd gen manifold to fit a 60-1 turbo. doesn't matter stainless steel or cast... they'll both work just fine. cars is inthe shop and needs one... had a mix up w/the other one.. didn't freaking fit.. long story... please mail me

turbo3rdgen7@aol.com

 

Why didn't the other one fit? HKS makes both cast and stainless manifolds with a T4 flange.

 

the damn thing doesn't clear the frame... the manifold must be differant for the 93 i had the motor in lastnight and went to bolt up the manifold and turbo and the manifold sticks to far to the left so when you try to put the turbo on... it hits the frame.... the flange fits just fine. but the back housing of the turbo doesn't clear the frame.... sooooo i need one for the 3rd gen

 

Which one did you get? Does your turbo have a tangential or on center exhaust housing?

 

I bet you got an on-center turbine housing.&nbsp You need to swap that out for a tangential turbine housing for it to clear properly.

Something similar happened to a friend of mine. That's why I asked about it. He ordered one from South Florida Performance, and they asked him tangential or on-center. He had no idea what they were talking about. So he just said on-center. So he had to buy an on-center housing after he tried to fit everything. That mistake cost him $200, but he now has an interesting looking paperweight.

 

not sure which one i have... here is a pic of the turbo w/ the manifold on the motor out of the car... i'll take a better pic of the turbo... but it is a 60-1 from turbonetics. nothing differant about it... let me know what you think

(also let me know what you think of the motor pic

 

for got to tell ya... the motor has a little bling bling to it
might be able to see the turbo and the manifold better here.. but the pic is kinda dark

 

It looks to be on center. Here's what we're talking about:

i can make you one 400 bucks 727-561-9440

 

This picture clearly shows it's an on-center housing.&nbsp You need to swap the turbine housings or get a new turbo exhaust manifold.

thanks guys... i think i'm gonna keep the exhaust housing and get a new manifold.. i don't like where the turbo would sit w/ the one i have now... know n e customes i can buy... preferably STAINLESS STEEL. and about how much.. thanks again

 

I just fabricated one ,and the turbo had to go up where the air pump was and about 4" forward to clear the body of the car . I don't know what type of manifold you got but it definately wo'nt work no matter what type of turbine housing you got!!!!.

 

how muchwas is and can you get a pic of it.... i know there is no room on the 3rd gen there that is why all of them push the turbo forward... someone hit me w/ a price of a manifold.... thanks and a pic of what i need

 

Why don't you just add another bend to the manifold? I have seen this done many times and works fine.

 

i could do this ... but this car is bieng mateciously done.. i don't wanna jerry rig n e thing on here... i want this car done right.. i'll spend the extra money to haveit done right... no wires hanging .. no rust chips no crappy welds... no half *** manifold....

but you are right i though about it....

 

Um, buying a new housing is not jerry rigging anything! Actually the tangential housings flow more air anyway! I am going to use them in my kits. Look at getting a divided 1.0 or 1.15 depending on the power you are looking for with this turbo.

If you get a stainless manifold, use SS 321.
