sp61gt on 1jz

[johnverheij]

my question
i have a sp61gt (61 wheels) in stock with 2300km on it
came from my 7m.
can i have some fun with it on my 1jz
with the driftmotion ct26 exhaustmanifold

61mm is a great size for the 1J, spooled nicely, power up top, that would be a great setup

There are clearance issues with the shock tower. The ct26 housing already sits incredibly close, anything bigger will not fit, so the Driftmotion adapter manifold will not work. You would have to get a dedicated 1JZ exhaust manifold for that turbo.

 

[johnverheij]

is it possible to use a spacer to get more clearance?

 

[Bigzavs]

from what SuprA70 is saying, putting a spacer on would make fitment even more impossible

 

[SuprA70]

Better off getting a complete turbo manifold that will accomodate that sp61 than the ct adapter.

honestly, I had the ct26 manifold kit from Driftmotion and I think that the SP61 would fit, but it will be damn close to the shock tower, possibly touching it. A big shot with a sledge hammer could fix that though:biglaugh:

so hed just have to get a 1jz manifold t3 or t4, and have the ct26 flange welded on, in place of the t3 t4?

Maybe. You can drop the engine with the turbo already bolted on and MAYBE clear.

Good luck pulling that turbo off (sp61) with the engine in the car. The studs on the manifold are too long, you wouldn't be able to move the turbo to clear the flange, much less install the turbo with the engine in the car. Even unbolting the manifold from the head will not work since there's not enough clearance.

Barely any clearance with a ct26. Imagine something with even just a slightly bigger turbo housing.

1J manifolds aren't expensive anyway.

Just get one.

 

[SuprA70]

I think the problem is there aren't any complete 1JZ manifolds with ct26 flanges, hence the adapter solution. The OP has the bolt-on sp61gt to the stock 7M turbo manifold.

 

[OneJoeZee]

I think the term is SOL then. lol

Get Drewgo's manifold.

 

[johnverheij]

i have a t3 1jz manifold
not bolted on right now still driving the twins
so where do i get a ct26 flange?


this is what i have in stock

i dont see why he just cant put a t3 to ct26 adapter on that manifold? one of our vendors could easily make him one. then there shouldnt be any problems.

 

[suprarcr89]

^he would also have to have a block off plate for the wastegate flange.. as the sp61gt has an internal wastegate....

He could ship out the manifold to get a new flange welded on, and at the same time get the external tube chopped off and closed up.

 

[The Reaper]

sounds like a PITA to me hahaha

I have that exact XS t3 manifold as in the picture now with a 60-1 and the hood basically rests on the turbo. I personally think that their will be now room for a t3 ct26 adaptor with the xs manifold. You might have better luck with another manifold that sits lower.

Get Drewgo's manifold.

Whats the price for an drewgo Manifold and where you can buy one

Ebay?

Any link Pics info?
