Default Ls ghetto topmount

Well I switched to a ls in my crx a while back and havent come up with the money for a nice topmount yet so for the time being this is what I came up with. Its 2" "whitey" bent and braced three times back to the cast manifold. I picked up the T3 flange and the tial wg flange for $15 locally and the 2" I had laying around the garage. Well see how long it lasts

Default Re: Ls ghetto topmount / Sinktrap

Nice job! sweet another sinktrap
That looks like a Volvo turbine housing and a Ford compressor housing.
If so, how did you fix the gap issue on the turbing inlet with the recessed circle? It looks like it hangs past the T3 flange.

Do you have more pics of the bends and the wastegate placement?

The manifold didnt come with a heat sheild and it is a ford .63 turbine housing. I shaved it down unitill the recess was gone. I just finished it last night and I still have a half tank of 87 octain or whatever the cheap ---- is so Ive been taking it easy untill I can get some 92-93 octain in. Ill try and get some pics of it off the car, but so far its working fine.
