My mani is an HF off a 92 civic cx and my turbo is a T25 of a 99 GSX. My wastegate would hit that stupid bracket, so I took it off to mock the turbo up and worry about the bracket later. My tuner said... leave it off. So that what I did. I don't know if a different mani is going really give you the clearance you need, so do some research with that turbo before buying another mani.

 

alright kool .. looks like everyones for taking that bracket off ...i guess ill do that for now .. thanks for your guys help ... unless i can make a elephant top mount outta that manifold ,then id have all the room i need huh

 

update: today i took it off .. and it still hits .. so then i took off the power steering bracket and it fits .. but i still want power steering so im just gonna cut the corner off the bracket and itll fit right in

 

There you go! Just a little cutting and grinding will do the job. It would be no fun if everything went on without a problem and fit perfect...... it would be .. be boring.

 

Get a manifold spacer to bring the manifold out futher from the block. Us DSM guys do that sometimes.

 

ya cutting ---- usually helps ha .. and where the hell do u get manifold spacers? or is that some sort of joke ....

 

thats a neat looking cast mani you have how much was it off egay?

 

it was like 70 bux or so ....my buddy had a greddy one that looked exactly the same .. so im guessing there tryin to pull theres off

 

word

 

why don't you just clock the turbo= search
