ace67 Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 Which setup/combination of manifold would make the turbo sit as low as possible only demand is that a 67 or at least a 62/63 mm should fit ? I want to hide the whole installation under a heatshield . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieP Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 Ive seen single turbo manifolds where the turbo sits under the runners, will try and find a picture, regular manifold will all be around the same height id say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnny g Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 What's the shield for? Heat I guess Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz6002 Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 Heat I guess Yeah I got that from the part where he called it a heat shield... can't see why you'd need the turbo mounted so low for that though, unless you were cutting it around the manifold runners and separating the turbo from the block?

Jurgen-Jm-Imports Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 here is something different http://www.jm-imports.de/site/components/com_virtuemart/shop_image/product/DSCF2004.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ace67 Posted January 19, 2011 Author Share Posted January 19, 2011 Hehe good guesses all of them the heatshield is actually for hideing the turbos since we have inspections every year and we arent allowed to change the cars much. I would like to have the single install a little bit more stealth looking to confuse the gov. inspectors/police :-). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ace67 Posted January 19, 2011 Author Share Posted January 19, 2011 (edited) That was a strange solution would be fun to know whats hidd under the shield .... here is something different http://www.jm-imports.de/site/components/com_virtuemart/shop_image/product/DSCF2004.jpg Edited September 19, 2011 by ace67 (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would like to have the single install a little bit more stealth looking to confuse the gov. inspectors/police :-). There is a member who has already done this who i think lives in sweden also. He managed to use the stock twin heat shield to cover the turbo and would look very convincing to someone who is not a 2jz fan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ace67 Posted January 20, 2011 Author Share Posted January 20, 2011 It would also be intresing to build something similiar to what the Skyline setup has with ie. 2 Garrett 2860 turbos . And i know that i have seen a cast manifold somewhere where the wg is pointing upwards . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Josh Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 I don't understand why you would do this? So government testers can't see it's had a turbo added. Claim it's an NA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monsween Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 So government testers can't see it's had a turbo added. Claim it's an NA. I wouldnt have thought that. Its more for un-modified. Ie still retains the twin turbo setup Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jevansio Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 Seriously? Surely any tester worth his salt is going to suss that? I don't think it's so they can think it's an N/A, rather a stock TT (with single turbo) I guess Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ie still retains the twin turbo setup Ah ok, I understood that he wanted them to think it wasn't turbocharged from the post, but I guess you're right. Hehe good guesses all of them the heatshield is actually for hideing the turbos since we have inspections every year and we arent allowed to change the cars much.
