has any 1 fitted a t4 to an escort cosworth?, i'm having a problem with the exhaust , the clamp that bolts the exhaust 2 the turbo wont fit? do i need a clamp of a rs500?

 

My T4 bolted straight on !

Although its on a 4x4 manifold

 

This has been done over and over mate, time and time again, so it will work!

I don't know fook all about it but i'm SURE people on here will sort this no problem for you!

 

All I changed was to remove the existing exhaust manifold studs and drill
them out to make the holes bigger for the 4x4 manifold studs.

And of course, rotated the housings and new bracket for wastgate actuator.

I did notice the exhaust system does sit higher due to the exhaust housing being bigger !

 

no i don't mean were the turbo bolts 2 the manifold, its the exhaust 2 the turbo, its a triangle shaped bracket with 3 holes, which goes over the studs on the turbo. t4 studs r 2 wide for the bracket.

 

B13 JUS,

My exhaust is a mongoose and just bolted straight on with no problems !

This same exhaust fitted a T35, MD240 and now a T4.

Sounds like you may have to get the drill out - Good luck !

 

my exhaust fitted a t35 and md240r but wont fit this, the holes seem way out.

 

...hi have you changed from a 4x4 manifold to a 2wd?As you need to lengthen the exhaust!!

 

yeah i've changed 2 a 2wd maifold, the exhaust it self is fine just the clamp that bolts the exhaust 2 the turbo, the holes don't line up 2 the studs on the turbo.

 

sounds more like you dont have an RS500 spec T4 exhaust housing, are you sure its the correct spec as there are loads of variations of T4 out there

Picture would help

 

i hope not...............will try and post picture 2morrow.

 

must be different to the standard bolt pattern if they will not line up properly.

If you can get the triangle piece off you could maybe redrill a hole so it does line up.

 

How far out are they?
Maybe the studs on the T4 are bent??
