I'm still waiting for my XS turbo manifold and I don't know if I should start looking into cartech motor mount because Im not sure if my stock motor mount will clear my AirResearch T3 turbo with 2.25" intake, lol, help!

View Full Version : XS Manifold with Small T3 clear stock MM?

Thanks for helpful pictures and advise! BMuu 02-13-2007, 08:32 PM It might fit, that gt35r has a 4" inlet and you only haver a 2.24" intake. If you get creative with your intake piping you shouldn't have a problem at all. You would probably be better off using a cartec motor mount though.

You would probably be better off using a cartec motor mount though. you have about 1.5" to work with to put a 90 deg. bend on there. for the intake... BMuu 02-13-2007, 08:49 PM If you have to use a 90 to go down you might as well just spend $100 on a new motor mount. That 90 degree bend on your 2.5" intake is going to be pretty restrictive IMO. Also if you are not running a MAF or are using it in blow through then you could use a screen over the turbo inlet and be fine with a stock mount. Kavkazia 02-14-2007, 12:58 AM I have 2.25" 90 deg bend which I'm going to try to fit and run pipe near pass headlight with filter and on the pipe run breather hose to it, plus my turbo is skinnier so I might have more than 1.5" of side room, hopefully. Thanks again for helpful infos and tips! |
