Re: No A/C with HF Mani?
 

Unfortunately that's not always true, it depends on the adapter plate.

Re: No A/C with HF Mani?
 

yeah, unfortunately people with one post generally talk out there assholes.

Re: No A/C with HF Mani?
 

And people who have been around for awhile think they know everything there is to know about everything. Just b/c I have one post dosent mean I dont know anything..... ::)

he is wrong, it can be done. i did this one

What turbo is that?

Re: No A/C with HF Mani?
 

it was a 9b from a 3kgt. it was fun. pulled on some v8's since it spooled so low

Re: No A/C with HF Mani?
 

well ive got a t25 and plan on making my own adaptor plate....so with that said, what should i keep in mind when making the plate in order for it to work?

and phil, did you keep your stock fans on the radiator/ac?

Re: No A/C with HF Mani?
 

yup, stock fans. although, if i was going to do it again, i would use slim fans.

i think you can make a t25 work, but there will be some performance left on the table due to how you have to route your downpipe. it has to make a really sharp 90° out of the turbine housing

Re: No A/C with HF Mani?
 

yeah, thats what im seeing....also the ic piping due to the a/c pump, but i think if i cut the angle coming off of the turbo so that its straight and not angled, that will help get around the pump a bit. these are just all observations with the turbo, since i dont have a manifold. i just hope that the turbo will physically fit by using the hf mani, as it seems most a/c compatible manifolds move the turbo slightly to the pass. side

Re: No A/C with HF Mani?
 

the easiest way to have ac and powersteering is to use a log manifold. you could make one of those yourself if you can make a downpipe. then you can put the turbo anywhere you want.

for the cost of an hf manifold and an adaptor plate, you can get a tunertoys log kit
