Lol @ this adapter (Picture)

[Failure14]

Ok so i bought a turbo kit and it came with a manifold and turbo of course lol well one was a t3 and one was a t4, so i had to buy an t3/t4 adapter,
Just got it in today and this thing is freaking huge and tall?

This is my first turbo supra and im not sure this is right?
doesnt seem right to me anyways lol.

The turbo is an ebay turbo, yes go ahead and flame me for it, but
i just really need to get my car running so i bought a cheap one, and nonetheless i didnt even know what else kinda turbo to buy, so many numbers
and everything else, im still learning about all that, and i know one of you
will say something like "Well if you dont know anything about them why buy one?" We all have to start somewhere right? we dont start off knowing everything...

Anyways i know its supposed to be facing down but i was just seeing if
it fit right and if you guys see anything wrong here?

Doesn't look that bad to me.

How is the clearance between the housing and the strut tower? Your engine moves in the bay, remember... if it's too close, it's going to hit under power or decel.

Looks like it touching to me

When you clock it it sjould get better

You're right, didn't notice that before. Even when he clocks it, it may still be too close.

It's because those eBay/Greddy style manifolds have the flange at such an angle. Generally you have to either build a custom angled riser/adaptor or weld a T3 flange on there if the turbo is small enough to clear the runners.

^ the angle on the wastegate plumbing looks like a recipe for creep (prob why there are two pipes)

It was ok but has been addressed with the new engine Jeff

See it from the right angles and you can see the primer (it's PINK)

Everything wasnt tightned down, i just have bolts hand tight half way in so it would hold everything in place so i could actually see how its going to fit...

so ummm. What are the specs on that turbo? it looks massive from that angle. Whats done to your engine to support it?

I just know its a t3/t4 .50ar,
And its not really all that big, my head just has nothing on it so it looks
like it overtowers the block itself.

^oh thats probably it, didn't even notice that.
