Manifold with Turbo
 

From looking at the pics, is it ac friendly or the wastegate actuator will have to be taken off or moved? If the wastegate actuator have to be removed, is there anyway to relocate it where it would still function correctly? As you can see, i will have to reclock the center section because right now the return hole is up on top and the inlet hole is on the bottom. Anyone have pics of relocating their wastegate actuator where it will be ac friendly? Thanks

it dosent look like it would fit. what kind of car is this going on? why not just use an external wg?

Re:Manifold with Turbo
 

looks like your suppose to use a external wg. ;)

its going on a 94 civic hb with a d16 motor. Is there anyway i can relocate the wastegate actuator? Right now an external wastegate is going to cost me around 150, which i can use towards my tuning

Re:Manifold with Turbo
 

It might work if you can mount the AC fan on the opposite side..., but from the looks of it... making the downpipe will suck ass

Re:Manifold with Turbo
 

it might work if you flipped the turbo around as in have the hot side facing the passenger side instead

Re:Manifold with Turbo
 

Swapping the turbo around wont work, if you get a smaller internal wastegate actuator like a t25 and modify it to fit you should have no problem. All t3 actuators are ------- way to big. Me personally I'd go external and just dump it right into your downpipe.

Re:Manifold with Turbo
 

thats a saab t3 right? if i were you id do what abaz said, get an external wastegate, it will save you a lot of room in there and then just dump it right into your downpipe.

Re:Manifold with Turbo
 

yea that is form a saab , i am going modify and cut the bracket and move the wastegate actuator up more or i will go pick up a ihb wastegate actuator. another reason why i want to keep the internal wastegate is that i heard that it is very reliable when you are only boosting at 8psi

Re:Manifold with Turbo
 

just relocate the wastegate acuator. there is a lot of room on top of the compressor housing. you might have to use a 90 degree fitting for the oil inlet. you'll have a better idea when you mount it in the car. good luck.

Re:Manifold with Turbo
 

Hey whiterice, is there a reason why i would have to use a 90 degree fitting for the oil inlet, can you explain? Does stealtmode oil lines give you a 90 degree fitting? Thanks

Re:Manifold with Turbo
 

if you were to relocate the wg actuator above the turbo, the oil feed line which points straight up, might be in the way.

Re:Manifold with Turbo
 

oh ok, i get it now, is it better to get a 45 degree instead of a 90 degree one so that the flow won't be restricted in anyway?

Re:Manifold with Turbo
 

another question, is the oil inlet hole (Middle Hole) threaded for the oil line fitting? I tried cleaning mines to see, but the oil isn't coming off.

Re:Manifold with Turbo
 

which ever works. the oil return is what you don't want restricted.
some t3s have the inlet threaded. if not you will need a tap. i usually do it from the bottom so the shavings do not fall inside. you can put some grease in the tap veins to catch shavings also.
