GT35R Problems HELP

[kessler]

ok heres the deal, OBOYM bought a GT35R to put onto his TY and we have been working on this whole project for a long time now. Well he bought this turbo and what was suposed to be a complete kit from a Local Vendor and it was what we thought a Complete kit to bolt right on with the Exception of cutting the Fender well to fit the Waste gate but we are have some problems. The outlet on the turbo is sitting higher then the inlet on the Intercooler. And if we were to run a pipe the way it is right now the water feed line would get in the way. Here are some pics of the problem. And if anyone can post any pics of there set up would be really great. We didnt want to go to an Air to Air due to the water and Alky is more then enough.





As you can see the inlet for the Intercooler sits about an inch from the Exhaust housing and we would have to make an S pipe or somthing to make this work. Any help would be great.

Thanks Kessler/Kelly

Could get a smaller Turbo. J/k
Try clocking the compressor side of the turbo counterclock wise a few degrees and you might beable to get that stock flexible hose to mate up to the intercooler with a smooth flex.
IDK if this will work but looking at the pics it might.

Well that isnt the biggest promlem and we were contemplating that but our biggest consern is how close the Intercooler inlet is to the Exhaust housing.

Re: GT35R Problems HELP

I made an 'S' pipe for my PTE turbo. It is made from a 90 degree bend of 2" exhaust tubing and two 45 degree bends cut from 2" radiator hoses I found at Auto Zone. I also made a heat shield because the pipe ran close to the turbo:

Re: GT35R Problems HELP

The stock inlet hose will work on the GT35R.
You need to clock the turbo out torwards the fender a little bit and the hose will work just fine.

We cant due to the cold air box that goes there on his truck.

I dont know what happen to the pics ill repost them in a bit

Re: GT35R Problems HELP

sounds like your turbo just needs to be re-clocked or adjusted. There are plenty of others running TE series turbos with the stock intercooler, and even the stock ic pipe. Your turbo is no different when it comes to plumbing then a TE44, 51, 52, 60, etc except the BB retains the water cooled center section.

Many non a/a equipped trucks have reported sucess with a piece of heavy duty radiator hose for smoother airflow.

after a 30 second search i found this in the syty.org archives:

Trac Auto has a radiator hose (Part #70689) that fits just fine with a little trimming or use the Goodyear part #60914.

A radiator hose from a GM truck, GM part number 15684449, has several 90 (or near 90) degree bends in it, and it's possible to make at least two (and maybe three) turbo to intercooler hoses out of it.
