TwinCamFan Posted January 27, 2008 Share Posted January 27, 2008 No problem with the larger turbo... If you make tubular headers. I'll give you $150. for that stock manifold, doesn't sound like you are gonna need it.Alan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

89TC-16V Posted January 27, 2008 Author Share Posted January 27, 2008 yea thats the general idea, why waste a good motor if its never going to drive a maserati anymore. i think i get a bigger turbo bolted on back there without a header, it seems like enough space as long as i dont want to put a holset on there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwinCamFan Posted January 27, 2008 Share Posted January 27, 2008 It's not really the space, its the flange. It doesn't match up to any kind of 'modern' turbo. So the flange can be cut off and a Garrett style flange welded up. But then the angle is way wrong for any Garrett to sit there.Been there, tried that Even the WRX/STI stuff (also IHI turbos like stock) have a different mount flange (triangular) and need some spacing to mock up properly. A modified STI turbo is the best bet, short of changing the whole manifold IMO.Alan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
89TC-16V Posted January 27, 2008 Author Share Posted January 27, 2008 SO how many bolt is the flange? is it a ford style flange(4bolt rectangle, a square or something different? the manifold looks like a tbi style manifold, if thats the case, i might be able to either cut the flange off that one and put the right one on or do something about a different header. I didnt expect it to be a chrysler flange, but everything i have anyways is a T3 or ford style flange and basically clocking it the right angle usually works to make things fit better if i had the correct flange welded onto it.

TwinCamFan Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 IHI flange is just different than all the rest you have dealt with. Like you said, you can cut it off and weld on another flange (I have one like that but it's at another local TC guy's house, cant find the pics) but then the turbo faces 45 degrees down instead of 90 degrees back like 8V and TIII. Shown next to a TIII housing for comparison.AlanPS resizing pics on this forum is challenging for some reason I give up, I added the pics three times, they won't attach for some reason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
