Hi all,
I've got a zetec turbo on the go and i have a t34 (.63) and a focus RS manifold.
Obviously this doesn't fit so i bought an adaptor to make it fit.

Now with the adaptor on it drops so low that it fouls the gearbox casing, without the adaptor on it sits higher (mock up obviously) and then clears the gearbox casing, however it then makes it impossible to keep the zetec breather and have enough space for the actuator to sit.
Even if getting rid of the breather was an option i'd still have to drill holes through the turbo to make it fit and i'm not doing that!

Is there a manifold i can buy that will make this possible, or, which turbo could i go for, the gt25 sounds alright but i don't want my whole build to be made of FRS parts. I want something with a decent kick, not overly into smooth power delivery

Cheers

 

Why not get a tubular manifold with a flange to suit the the t34 or have the frs manifold altered?
I think it's crazycage on here that does custom manifolds of not speak to rollinz aka boost junky Motorsport.

 

this is sound advice, a good tubular could have the flange changed to suit your needs, lots of variations out there too.
a gt25 is alright, could look at a gt28 though, more punch and top end power too.

 

Well i like the sound of both options. Can't seem to find any of those turbos on ebay though. Not garrett ones anyway.
Any one know a useful contact for a turbo. I have got a fully reconditioned t34 .63 with 2000 miles on it. I never even got to use it once i bought it

 

Wilky on here is good for turbo's

 

get a t3 adaptor plate and weld it to the manifold

 

How about putting an early John frs hybrid on give more kick than a t34 then

 

Bought a gt25 now what is an early john FRS turbo then? Just gonna use this turbo and push around 19psi. I'll be upgrading in the future but for now i just want to get her on the road!
