Here’s my next problem to deal with. The garrett turbo i installed on my bottom mount exhaust doesn’t leave alot of space for the intercooler piping. Any pics of similar setups and how you routed the piping for s13?
I can’t really clock it, since the actuator is right in the way(believe me, I tried other positions), and the plate holding the actuator can’t be flipped around like some of the videos show because of the way its made.
I thought about making some sort of a custom actuator mounting plate to allow me to clock the turbo housing, but i must be missing something. It can’t be this hard. I would prefer that the exhaust port that goes to the turbo be facing upward, say on a 45 degree angle. That would be ideal.
Look at the pics and tell me what you think. Your thoughts and setup pics will be appreciated.
What turbo is that? A typical GT28 would have the compressor outlet at the 3 o’clock postion. You would then use a 90* coupler to attach to the hotpipe.
Fuck it. I clocked the turbo facing upward and cut apart the wastegate actuator mounting plate. Just have to weld it together so it holds the actuator properly. I think this will solve the problem. Will post a pic when finished.
ended up putting the turbo at a 90 angle and making the actuator mounting plate into a Z shape so it reaches better. Sorta hard to see in the pics cause I painted it black, but it does the job. Had the bov mount welded and the wideband bung welded too. Getting close now.
