Trouble Installing Megan Exhaust Manifold *VIDEO INCLUDED*

[booties]

Hi Guys,

I have a S13 SR20 blacktop and I am having a lot of trouble fitting the megan exhaust manifold. For some reason the turbo elbow gets in the way (a lot) so I am not able to fit the manifold to the hot end of the turbo. I hope this makes sense, if anyone has any experience installing manifolds please message me!

Did you try clocking the turbo? Rotating the hot and cold side?

Yea what he ^^^ said,..I have a S13 red top, and I just installed Megan header and a new T28 turbo, I had to clock the turbo around so it would fit,..pretty simple just loosen the bolts and spin it..

[Q.Smooth127]

i installed mine no problem ...
if u upgraded to t28, use a reclockin kit to make everything bolt up right. If not u will be stuck wit a non turbo car there.

Heres my setup..

[heyitzalan]

lol u have to clock it with the elbow facing down..

Ah haha, so pretty much a 180.

Will I need anything extra though by clocking the turbo?

Hmmm if I turn it 180 seems like this little bar won't work out

Heres my setup..

Is this a T25 w/ S13 sr20?

[Chrischeezer]

^ and T bolt clamps on the intake, but gear clamps on the charge pipe... mmmhm

[Chrischeezer]

just clock the turbo a bit.. then bend the wastegate actuator so its straight enough to operate,

why, this doesn't fit directly?... its megan.

[DriftinAndy]

No its a Godspeed T28, everything else is Megan,..i had to clock the turbo,it originally was facing in word towards the block,..

[cotbu]

He probably wont have to bend the actuator, if he clocks it right.

Hey guys thanks for the replies! I ended up fixing it, in case anyone has this issue again heres a very simple fix:

There is a snap ring located in the compressor housing of the turbo, so that part that kept getting in the way can easily be rotated left or right if you use a good set of needle nose pliers to squeeze the snap ring and then simply rotate the turbo :)
