hx40w 7 blade help

[B-R3N]

so as the title states i have an hx40w 7 blade... rather gun shy with tuners due to all the hazing that goes on, but i cant find what im looking for. im in a bind and tight on money due to a soon to be wedding, the gsx is suppose to be the getaway vehicle. was just going to get it running with the 16g but i got a good price on this hx. however no funds for a manifold or bep housing so i ordered a td05-t3 adapter flange... well theres no clearance, the housing hits the block.... what is going to be my best way to get this turbo mounted... without it being mitsu flange bep... iv read people buy a manifold and cut the flange and re weld it at a different angle... is that really what its come down to?

please and thank you for any help

Look up the holset threads on here in the search bar. They have every way it can be done you just have to read through it a bit. Or someone will chime in.

Hazing? You will only get bashed if you ask really dumb things like what oil to put in your car or something lame.

yeah some people have different levels... some troll on everything they can find a crack in, just kinda bugs me... cant we all just get along

best thing would be a manifold that allows clearance. with stock hx housing

Check out this thread, lots of helpful info.

Are you trying to keep the stock hx turbine housing or get a bep?

 

[B-R3N]

trying to keep stock temporarily... but now im thinking its t4 so will have to do it anyway i think

i looked through that thread and read pretty much everything, however most people on there seem to be running BEP housings. i finally got back to the shop to further inspect my turbo and mine is the 18cm housing... the manifolds that i was researching it seems everyone uses the bep so i dont have much to go on to know if i will have clearance with the large housing.

You could grind away some of the housing/block or get a spacer flange for the oem manifold. I know nothing about the stock hot side or adapter plates though, if i was you I'd get a bep it's not that expensive..

if the clearance issue is small, and the adapter plate is thick, you could grind down the adaptor plate on an angle (so the plate almost resembles a wedge) which should make the turbo kick out on an angle away from the block. This is the only half-assed ghetto thing I could think up for a temp fix.
