ok so today i started turbo'ing my 95 civic ex coupe (d16z6) .... and ran into some ---- .. my turbo isnt gonna fit in........ internal waste sitcks out to far so it hits the block .. so then flipped it the other way then the ------ compressor housing hits the engine block also ... what the hell am i gonna do .. new manifold ? or another turbo


CXracing cast manifold
volvo t3 .48 internal waste

have some pics here .. with the waste gate removed just so itll sit there

 

get a mannifold thats not so gay.

 

Which part of the block does it hit? I've seen people cut off part of the block to make it fit.

 

well if the cold side in on the right the waste gate hits the bracket for the motor mount ... and if its on the left the cold side hits the part where the tranny bolts go into the block .....

 

get a new mani.

 

get a different manifold

 

+3 on the mani. The AC/ stabilization bracket on the front side of the motor.... if you take it off, does it fit? I had to take mine off to fit my T25 because the wastegate hit the bracket. I talked to some folks out at our local race shops, and they all take them off their civic's as the front stabilization mount does not do a ton.

 

i think it might fit if i take that off .. but that bracket is part of the motor mount as well as part as the a/c....and im pretty sure it wouldnt be good to take a motor mount off

 

It isn't actually a motor mount. It is more of a stabilization mount for the AC and some side to side sway in corners. I researched it before I took mine off. I notice no difference in driving and I have had it off for 5 months now. If you are worried, just buy some motor mount inserts and that will stiffen things up. Honestly, when you take that bracket off... you will realize it ain't no motor mount. That rubber on the end of the bracket is like jelly... take it off and you will see. Vibration reducer at best... at best!

 

sweet , i guess ill have to take that off and see whats up .. hopefully itll fit ..but if it doesnt , then what ? new mani..?
