pretty specific but does anyone have close up pics of their turbo's mounted to ava manifold...

T28, gus, B8 maybe

cheers

 

only one i have im afraid


what ya need to know then?

 

jus looking into housings and downpipes really...

what setup did you have again?

cheers

 

I will take some tomorow

 

Much aprreciated cheers.

 

think i had a 63 rear housing on mine cant remember now


got meself a shiny new turbo and dont know what housing is on that either

 

Ok because i've just got a T34 with .48 housing but its fouling on the manifold so must be wrong type. I have the right parts from when i had a stage 3 T3 but not sure if they would be up to the job....

I knew you had the T34 so just made me think

 

gus

yours had a 38 or a 36 exhaust housing cos i just had it changed for a 48!

hope this helps!

Ad4m RST

also it used the standard turbo exhaust elbow!

 

I dont M8 sorry I lost the majority of the pics that I did have

Good lad Dave

 

Cheers dave helps alot.

B8 what housing did you have? whats the biggest that you can use with this manifold?

 

Mine must be fairly small with me having the T28

 

B8
Ad4m RST

 

i really should pay more attention

 

gus




whats ya new turbo like???

 

will see it when i get down to see me engine soon


might have to get me engine bay mirrored so can see it properly

 

63 housing isnt a problem, or shouldnt, as the manifold retains the original turbo position.

Im sure Davie(not T28) had a .63 on his

T34 or T38 going on new build with same manifold.

 

I've just got a T34 with .48 housing and it doenst fit the manifold at the moment...absoloutely no room for a downpipe aswell...

i'l get a pic up to show you what i mean soon as...

 

Only have phone to hand so pics came out dark and shit but hope you get the idea...

probably makin one huge schoolboy error here but just doesn'y fit

 

Very difficult to see from the quality of the pics, if you get some better 1's sorted i'll do everything I can to assist.

From what I can see it would appear that 1 of the bolts needs shortned this would then allow the down pipe to marry up a lot easier.

Both davidch's and my own have custom 3" down pipes which will come into the equasion.

Davie (T28) is your down pipe standard? I know you will have the flexi section further down, but was it modified at the turbo end?

 

yeah once screw defo too long, but also seems like where the housing would meet the downpipe is too wide. Most probably need a custom job like you...

i'll get brighter pics up when i can, cheers for help so far

 

I dont have an elbow coming off the turbo, its a one piece pipe

If this helps in any way

 

yeah defo helps. So you need a custom downpipe for the manifold, i'll get on it.

Did ava fabricate yours T28, B8??

 

Yup, all of the other manifolds of the type you now have were fitted by AVA to the customers cars. Gus's being the only exception.

Remember and have a flexi section fitted, assuming you dont already have one. Not using a flexi section will put more strain on the manifold and may well lead to your manifold cracking.

Not that any have cracked, but prevention is better than cure. Or so they
say.

This may or may not help.

 

again helps alot...

I was aiming to go down the ALS route, gus ran it with T34 on this manifold so can be done. Just wondering how the maram shaft would fit if i'm having these problems...

i'll defo speak to ava though, thanks again B8

 

how many different companies are doing the tubular manifold now? i think performance ford are supposed 2 feature a company next month? who recommends what then?

 

AVA dont just do manifolds for anybody,they only do them for cars that they built engines for to get the most or best driveability out the car

 

guess i got lucky then
