Reesen Posted August 20, 2007 Share Posted August 20, 2007 HELL YA... Mde it fit But only just.. Can this be a problem later on??? Look at the 3 last pic´s Just picked of my new turbo from the post office, and tried it with my manifold, and alll the other part´s. All the other parts fit´s like a glowe, but it just dosent fit the manifold As you can see on these pictures it´s the turbine house that hit´s one of the pipe´s... What do I do? Just make 15mm T4 flange and put in between or?? http://images.bilgalleri.dk/uploads_alb_large_wm/218540_l.jpg http://images.bilgalleri.dk/uploads_alb_large_wm/218544_l.jpg http://images.bilgalleri.dk/uploads_alb_large_wm/218549_l.jpg Fitted http://images.bilgalleri.dk/uploads_alb_large_wm/255867_l.jpg http://images.bilgalleri.dk/uploads_alb_large_wm/255868_l.jpg http://images.bilgalleri.dk/uploads_alb_large_wm/255869_l.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wez Posted August 20, 2007 Share Posted August 20, 2007 Is it not possible to rotate the cover so it doesnt hit the manifold? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reesen Posted August 20, 2007 Author Share Posted August 20, 2007 I don´t think that is enough! And is that somthing I can do my self?? Never done that... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wez Posted August 20, 2007 Share Posted August 20, 2007 Yes, loosen the bolts holding on the cover and you should be able to spin it, once in a position you want tighten them back up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted August 20, 2007 Share Posted August 20, 2007 I hope you're not installing this yourself? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reesen Posted August 20, 2007 Author Share Posted August 20, 2007 If I twist it don´t you think I will get a nasty 90 turn on the pipework? And propperly get trouble fitting the pipework to the IC? Pete I hope you're not installing this yourself? Not all by my self.. Some of my friends have done it for them selvf on thir supras. But Ive only installed some supercgargers on some Golf´s and Polo´s, ao im preatty new in installing turbo´s. But don´t (hope not) think it will couse me that mutch trouble!!

kieren1234 Posted August 20, 2007 Share Posted August 20, 2007 Is this an na-t or a single install. I had to rotate the compressor housing on my turbo, which is very simple to do, and it fits perfect. The intercooler piping should be fine mate. Give it a shot.

Reesen Posted August 20, 2007 Author Share Posted August 20, 2007 It´s a singel Install... But won´t start untill next month, still need the last parts from japan. But are your surre it won´t be best you to make a piece and put in between the turbo and manifold so it gets liftit 15-20 mm?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wez Posted August 20, 2007 Share Posted August 20, 2007 What manifold and turbo is it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reesen Posted August 20, 2007 Author Share Posted August 20, 2007 It´s a XS power manifold, and a GT4067 turbo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted August 20, 2007 Share Posted August 20, 2007 I have a little expereince with this... You will find that you need to rotate the compressor housing and it *should* clear. You might also need to remove the front support bar from the manifold as this will most likely block your oil drain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wez Posted August 20, 2007 Share Posted August 20, 2007 Could you also post a pic of the wastegate port? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrickTT Posted August 20, 2007 Share Posted August 20, 2007 Could you not get a small spacer plate made up to lift the turbo up a bit. Of course it might not clear the bonnet then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

b_have Posted August 20, 2007 Share Posted August 20, 2007 You will need a riser plate. XS power sell these, or simple to make if you have a mill. Use a T4 gasket either side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wez Posted August 20, 2007 Share Posted August 20, 2007 Sorry, the wastegate port at the collector inside the manifold, should be just inside the T4 flange area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gsportcars Posted August 20, 2007 Share Posted August 20, 2007 I think he means a pic of the wastegate port from inside the manifold as I read a thread on here about a very inadequately built manifold where the hole for the wastegate was tiny and caused big problems with boost levels. I think it actually caused engine failure from what I remember. About the spinning of the turbo housing it will be fine. I did it with mine because of the exact same problem. It is easier to adapt the intercooler piping if needed than to get sandwich plates etc made up. Also if you raise the height of the turbo you run the risk of your downpipe not clearing the chassis/bulkhead as it will be raised too. If you are getting a custom downpipe made then that obviously solves the problem though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mayme he still has the pictures so we can compere?? BTW.. This is a "low" budget project, so im cutting some cornes. I know some people might say " Then don´t do it ect.. But my goal is just to make it work, ofcouse with an okay resoult, do it my self, and have fun doing it! This is still better then buying a complete XS power kit, and the parts has only been aprox 400£ more expencive, I think my total cost right now is around 1300£ and "only" need the ECU!
