Manifold spacer

[97singlecab]

What are you guys using for a spacer on the manifold when you flip them over to run twins? I am running a stock manifold with a 64 as the top turbo.

T-3 turbo flange.

nvm

 

[Rollin Coal]

if your building the kit you can build it without a spacer, mine never had one.

Thats a good simple idea jim, I didn't even think about that thanks.

RollinCoal how do I not use a spacer if it rubs the manifold?

3pc manifold? with my stocker nothing hit

 

[97singlecab]

oh I could see a stocker not hitting. But i'm using an s300 turbo, it hits pretty bad.

 

[Rollin Coal]

sorry, i ment with my stock manifold flipped the s300 didnt hit.

I'm running the stock exhaust manifold also. It needs about 1/2 inch of spacing to clear.

I would love to have that ED external gate but I just don't have the cash for it right now.

cool!

to the original post
the source automotive twins come with a spacer, and bd towing twins too.

 

[Knuckledragger]

i gave a turbo gasket to a local machine shop. they cut my spacer with a water jet out of 1'' stainless. i then cut some exhaust studs done to size to bolt it up

If you are using a turbo with a divided housing be sure to get a spacer that has a divider!

 

[97singlecab]

That one from source looks like its a little bit nicer in quality. I looked on there site but never found that, should of looked harder I guess.

 

[Rollin Coal]

ive used the ones from ebay in the past, the quality is about as good as it gets for a turbo flange short of being cnc'd

 

[coon smile]

I would suggest a T3 flange that is divided. Engineered Diesel can get you them.

Whats the pro's and con's of the divider ?
