Get a new housing. Any looseness in tolerances of the machined piece will manifest itself as a large loss in turbine speed across the board, and you don't want that.

can't u contact Dave to trade back since this doesn't work for you?

Maybe a spacer could be used to carry it forward so it clears the mount better?

I know what the problem is. You are using a manifold designed for a T3 turbo, you took the T3 housing and modified it to fit a T4 turbo. FR makes a manifold designed for T4 turbos and thats the manifold you should be using. There might be some tricks you can do to make it work, but I recommend you get a new manifold or turbo.

Edit: Like GotWheelHop said, the CHRA is a problem. Its much bigger than a Garrett or Precision cartridge for a T3 turbo.

No I have T3 not T4. As you can see in the pic even a 35R will be impossible to fit unless you don't run intake pipe and cut the mount on the corner.

I just pmed him.

The housing is a T3, but the T04Z/37R is originally a T4 frame turbo. The CHRA is also very large. Ive used that manifold and fit a 35R just fine.

You must have this version which sits higher.

YES!!!

The center section of your turbo is slightly larger which is causing your problem. If you would like to run that turbo and manifold here is what i would recommend.

1) get the correct turbine housing
2) you will need to notch that mount to build an intake.

If you want something that will bolt right up just give me a call, pm or email and i will more than happy to put something together for you. If you have any other questions just let me know.

thanks, eric

So are you saying it will work with 35R? not 37R? But I still have to notch the mount to build an intake?


How come you guys didn't post this before or in your website?

IMO Sell it even if you take a loss, and pick up a Shearer manifold.

Our singlescroll T3 manifold is designed for traditional *T3* turbochargers like a GT series OR standard t3/t4 turbos like a 50 trim or a t3/t67. It appears that your turbo is in fact a T4 turbocharger, but you modified the t3 housing to fit. As a result it has an extremely wide T4 center section (chra) - look at this picture of your T4 center section



compare this to the much more narrow T3 hta35R center section on hta's website:



Why not just use the hta82 or hta86? it seems like it would be a better option as long as the machine shop turned down the hsg perfectly, you wont have a problem. however the possibility that the tolerance is too tight or too loose is there depending on who machined it and what lathe they used. my recommendations are as follows:

1) you can easily notch the motor mount as is (its not difficult at all) and run a 4" intake.
2) return the turbo and get an hta86
3) if you are dead set on using this turbo, keep in mind it is a P trim t4 turbo (count the 11 blades on the turbine wheel)



stuffed into a t3 housing. For this reason I recommend using a t4 twinscroll housing and t4 twinscroll manifold

4) you can get a different manifold that might fit better, but i doubt you will be happy with any manifold and this big singlescroll turbo - p trim undivided turbos are laggggy

actually this is the t31 housing youre using, not the GT hsg.

that is correct, the T4Z is a T4 turbo, so it has an extremely wide CHRA compared to the GT30/GT35 turbos

thanks you are both correct

Full Race is right our turbo's they are very WIDE. I know this from when I put the FS635 on my car... it fit SO much better than my HTA37 did it was .

I aint knocking Shearer but with his manifold my t-bolt clamp on my discharge pipe rubs my engine mount bolt. Which made me beleive it was designed more for the small GT framed turbo's.

I still runs his manifolds and always will, I just use the strap on the clamp as a guard for the coupler

So funny to see the same group of Full-Race haters that jump at the chance to point to other vendors and the end of the story is always the customer was miss using the Full-Race products...

I have been a long time customer of Full-Race and their products always fit, worked great and Geoff has provided the greatest customer service!

Full-Race FTW!
