Turbonetics Manifold

[Race94]

Hey guys,
well i was thinking of getting this manifold from my buddy, he has his car abandoned in his house after it broke down( not sure what it is)

My question is:
Is anyone using it?
How do you like it?
What turbos fit?

Also what turbo would be best to put in if looking for a high 12's low 13's 95 GST? on pump gas

Thanks

Any T3 turbine side will bolt onto the manifold. Most any t3/t4 will be able to put you in the low 13's. It's up to you on how much you want to pay and how much power you realisticly want to make.

You will probably be best with a to4e 50 trim turbo... you will want the .63 stage III on the hotside.

You will also need a wastegate... most people like the tial 38mm.

And an oil feed kit and a o2 sensor housing.

AGP can sell you all of this expect to spend about 1000 dollars in addition to the manifold to make everything work.

not true, if you have a t3 exhaust with a 4 bolt downpipe side it will not fit without grinding down the block and exhaust housing to unsafe considitons. if you have a v-band downpipe side i tihnk it will bolt up. you need a 5 bolt downpipe side. here are some pics: the 1st is what will work.

The FP30 turbine housing bolts to a stock manifold.

You will need to use the old style 5 bolt Ford housings for the turbonetics manifold.

yea but some garret turbos are also v band



btw ben where are my turbo kits!!!! (this is steve from no limit)

I have the turbonetics manifold and it took some porting to get it to match upto the head and turbo but after that it's been great. Any T3 or T3/T4 turbo will fit (5 bolt as stated already) and it gives you a huge choice of what turbo you would like. Because it's a standard T3 flange it is also cheap for new turbos when you decide you want something different.

I also have a T04E 50Trim and Tial 35mm gate with custom 3" Exhaust from the turbo back. No more stupid O2 housing with a T3 style turbo either, just make up a downpipe right from the back of the turbo and away you go.

SInce I don't know why is that? it' it just because it doesn't push the turbo out far enough from the water pipe?

I have a spacer plate from my HRC S20G Kit that I am planning on using for my set up.

I just ordered the Turbonetics Manifold and will be ordering the PTE 3561 here probably next month. I'm going with the S-Cover and the T3 exhaust housing.

But I was planning on going with the 4 bolt vs the 5 bolt. Can I use the 4 bolt since I have the spacer plate or is there something I'm un-aware of.

I'm also having an 02 housing custom made.

its just the way the exhaust housing on the turbo is. the 4 bolt naturally comes way closer to the manifold so you need a manifold made to angle it away from the block more. the turbonetics manifold is made to keep a 5 bolt garret as close to the block as possible because that manifold has a wastegate coming off the front of it and you need that clearence. agp's tubular manifold makes it so you can use a 4 bolt garret turbo but they have no room for the wastegate on the front, so thats y they have it coming off the middle (besides the obvious benefits of having it come from the collector, but thats a whole different conversation) heres a pic of teh agp manifold

I will be running the Turbonetics manifold with a Tial 38 and the PTE T3 3561 S-Cover.

I have the HRC spacer plate which will/should push the turbo out away from the block and clear the water pipe.

I've talked to a few of the High HP hitters in my area about an hour ago and they all say it will fit.


I was just worried cause I am going to be ordering my turbo here shortly.

And since I'd already started collecting parts I had to make sure they were all going to work together.

Ok so i need to modify the downpipe if i install a t3/t4 on the turbonetics manifold?

IS there any way of not doing this?
I just made my custom 3" downpipe and having to fix it again would suck

 

[Race94]

One question:
I can purchase te Turbonetics manifold+ turbonetics wastegate with a T3 turbo

My question is:
I want to use a t3/t4, check out the link:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=2472041302&category=33742

Will i be able to use this with the turbonetics manifold?

Thing is my downpipe was from a former t3/t4 user and he had it all the way to the exhaust side of the turbo( 4 plate) and it has an o2 sensor attached to it. Wich means i don't need a custom o2 or whatnot just cut my downpipe again and weld in the elbow with 4 bolt plate that was in before. Can i do this?

let me know before i go and do this

I plan on also using a Turbonetics Manifold and SC61. I guess I better start thinking about a 6 bolt swap...hehe
