GT17 manifold...I think it fits??
Turbo Mini Forums

Has anyone got a GT17 and a mini with NO bulkhead box, that they would be willing to trial fit a manifold for me? Ive got one tacked together and want to check it fits ok before I weld it all up.

Cheers
Matt

Gary - Its not for my car...but at the moment its tempting to go back to 5 port! lol

Searching is all you need on TurboMinis

Did you just need to see for clearance?

I'm sure that Paul S has posted pics of a GT17 on a mirage manifold fitted with bulkhead in place.

Edit: Theres this pic at the bottom of this thread too if it helps.

In the 13's at last!.. Just

Ive tried it out in mine...even though I do have a bulkhead box. What do you guys recon...I can't remember how far out the cross member sticks out?

Oh yeah, I have a adjustable tie bar fitted set to 166mm between centres. No idea what the standard length one is?

looks good mate, nice work

Looking good, i will be attempting the same. How will you be getting around the actuator issue?

Great progress... Where did you get the tube for the manifold from, out of interest??

I might have to ask you to do me one up...

I'll make a bracket up for the actuator, still not decided whether to keep it in the original location or move it to the drivers side though.

Im going to try and make a funnel shape to blend the pipework into the flange...fingers crossed it goes ok!

I got the pipework from ebay. :)

I think that you will need to remove the old actuator bracket from the compressor housing and rotate it so that you can get it in closer to the block.

As you have it at present, I think that will hit the bulkhead.

Any update on this Matty? I'd love to see how it's comming along....

hahaha, I've already asked him to do one for me get in line boys, i think Matty is going to find himself swamped! Poor chap. that'll teach him to make such wicked looking manifolds

Yep its all welded up, im just waiting for some grind stones to arrive, so I can get on with blending the flanges into the pipes. Will have it finshed this weekend and I'll post some pics up.

Matt,

if you do another one a flange like the one in this link might get you a few more mm?

That would of made things a whole lot easier but I couldn't justify the cost!

I tried it again, and all seemed good, with a tilt on the engine there should be plenty of space...hopefully! lol
