HPI manifolds fitment issue with gt2860-5

[Trailmix]

Currently having a issue with my new set of gt2860-5 Turbos hitting the the first runner of each HPI manifold. There was no fitment issue with the R34 N1 Turbos that were on before.  The two pics with the exhaust wrap was the old setup. So should I cut the runners?

I’d be using a set of ported factory manifolds

Heat it up and give it a love tap with a hammer.

Well if I didn’t just these ceramic coated I would have gone the stock manifold  route.

Well then just smack them with a hammer

Get a spacer made on the flange if you don’t want to involve a hammer

Yuh, probably only need 3mm plate + gaskets to gain the clearance you need.

And then Everything will be out of place and there isn’t much room to move

Run the stockers and port match them. Punt those nugget manifolds that you’ll be ripping off soon when they crack, put some money back in your pocket and get the tickled stockers coated if you must.

 

That’s garbage. Don’t companies test this stuff?

The R34 N1 Turbos fit fine on these manifolds, I don’t think they will crack the walls are not thin like Tomei manifolds.

The -5’s don’t.

Compressor housings must be a bee’s dick bigger.

There are SO MANY more restrictions in “that setup” before manifolds...
