What type of turbo setup are you going with?

 

Well I have a S4 manifold and Turbo... I need to see if the Turbo will clear a 6 Port intake manifold with the 6 port mounts removed and welded holed welded up. (I don't want to use an adapter).



I will probably do a JSPEC Motor rebuild in a couple of months.

 

I think that if you remove the actuators it should fit. The tricky part will be the oil and water lines.

 

you need to make a spacer for the manifold. i know somebody that did this already. best bet is just keep running the N/A then do a FULL TII swap



13BAce knows all about it

 

If you remove the actuators and grind all of that extra crap off it should fit without that huge spacer.

Grinding is sometimes better. That's why I'm going to notch my frame rail instead of hacking up my manifold.

 

Ya I'm going to go get a spare lower manifold to modify. I don't want to leave my car not running until I absolutely have to. I might look for a Turbo Oil Pan, which would take sure of the oil return. The Water will be cake and the Oil I thought I would get off the oil filter with a spacer, I even though of perhaps running the Turbo in line plumbing the oil return line back to the filter.



I haven't see anyone do that I know normally it's gravity that relieves the oil.

 

The TII front cover is where the oil return line goes, BUT you could go into the oil pan.

 

Ah, I didn't know that. Thanks. I do see that the Turbo II has a different oil pump (and perhaps the front cover is different also). I've got a S4 turbo and manifold with all the hoses still intact.



Hopefully I'll get a lower manifold this weekend (trying to wait for better weather).
