Recirc'd o2 Housing GVR4 clearance

[milkandoj]

EDIT: Ill word the question better....
Anyone know of a GVR4 running one of these O2 housings? For bolt up housings.

Its a ebay item, but i like it because its 3 inch, not 2.5, has flex join in it so my tial 38 will line up and seal. And i can have o2 sensor mounted slightly further back from behind the turbine.

Only thing im worried about is clearance to the radiator from the tial f38.
If the the 3 inch bend clear the alternator, i don't want to relocate.

I know the punishment mild steel unit fits fine, but i like this one for the above reasons.

as far as I know, the Punishment racing and the MAPerformance o2 housing with waste gate provision recirculated, does pas the alternator and fits nicely.

I am assuming since its the same engine, it will clear the alternator, as far as the radiator in a VR4, I am not sure.

Tial did come out with a new design that makes the wastegate a lot shorter. Might help out with the fitment.

If you notice, the ebay one is not a direct bolt on, the downpipe flange looks like a v band. you will need a custom downpipe. Also it looks like it position the waste gate in a different positon the MAP and punishment ones.

Goodluck

i doubt that is 3", but i'm almost sure it will clear the alternator. it is very simmilar to the one i built for my galant.

What do you mean by 'minimise back pressure for pump gas power'? 50lbs/min turbo is easily acheived on pump gas. I run a 69lbs/min turbo on pump gas, but I only flow about 59lbs/min through the engine.

If you'd like some more info on proper turbo mapping pm me.

Thanks for the replies. I just got a pm back from one of the ebay sellers (after 3 attempts).
It is 3 inch.
Does anyone know of anyone running one on a GVR4?

Modifying the down pipe i can easily do. I want to know other than that, is it bolt up?
The main issue is the wastegate angled out towards the radiator enough to clear the alternator and the bend behind the turbine sharp enough, so the larger 3 inch pipe doesn't hit either

I know I can "flow" over 50lb on pump, but i want the best VE for power produced flowing in the 45-50lb range. Strictly on pump, no water meth. And e85 isn't readily available where i am. So i need the least back pressure for pump gas efficacy.

I already have a tial f38, so the older series not the new mv series.
