T4 Manifold Clearance Issues....suggestions needed

[ThunderZTA]

Hello Fellow supra owners,

I am currently in the process of finishing up my 88 supra build. the Turbo i have (COMP GT43 74/79 .96 A/R) and the T4 Manifold i bought from Supra sport are having some clearance issues even with the 1/2 inch thick flange. As you can see by the photos below the 3rd runner on the manifold is touching the housing of the turbo.

Trying to avoid going full custom manifold is there a pre-made manifold out there still for sale that will work? I have no experience with welding either so modifying the current one is out of the question. I know the raptor racing was recommended but is no longer being made so that one is out of the question as well

Any help is greatly appreciated with the issue

Thicker spacer.

3/4 inch spacer with both gaskets and you should clear that no problem.

Is it going to hurt anything or cause an issue to have a spacer on there like that or no???

sounds good to me, none of the vendors on here seem to carry the 3/4 inch flange do you have a place you know of that has one for sale?

you for the help and the welcome here.

Go to a local machine shop and ask them to cut it out real quick. Shouldn't take long at all to make one. I'd say it'll take longer to find the material in the shop than to cut it out.

Or get a pair of T4 flanges and some gaskets.

You can also buy the spacer from Andy here on the forums.

putting a Pyrometer in the spacer there might be a good idea too since youll have the room there.

 

[ThunderZTA]

I'm not sure exactly what that is.

I'm currently working with Andy to fix the problem. Thank you teamslow

Pyrometer = used to measure EGTs (exhaust gas temperature)
