High Mount Turbo Rubbing Against Rocker Cover

[engo]

so i bought my 6 boost manifold ( high mount rb25det ) suited for a gt3076r ....i have started running short of funds so i thought i would just chuck back on the old t04e ... the side of the turbo is slightly touching the rocker cover.... slightly but enough to rub..... will one go through the other?? could i grind away a little on the t04e??..... god dam this is frustrating!!!

What about using a 10mm spacer between the turbo and manifold?

nar. shel be right.

if you want to be creative take it for a thrash and get it cherry red and use a tyre leaver between the FLANGE and head. (not the housings) a gentle leaver should give you a mm or so..

Is it a to3 or to4 flange?

yes you'll need a gasket either side.

Any turbo shop will be able to supply the flange, even an exhaust shop (a good one) should be able to supply one. It the same thing they use for the flange on the manifolds.

i've had the same problem with my 26. if i run anything bigger than a .82 rear housing on my gt35 it hits the rocker cover.

My 3040 comp cover touched my cam cover so i noched it and welded a plate in and then machined it back, looks factory.

any good turbo/exhaust place should be able to get you a flange/spacer. but if you have no luck try mtqes, they have everything you need

i machined the flange on an angle to tilt it away from the rocker cover, i'll put it on one day.
