Turbo Elbow For Gt2860Rs

[Nathangti 0]

Any help would be much appreciated!

I'm upgrading my turbo to the GT2860RS from standard 406 turbo but does anyone know (or already done) wot turbo elbow - exhaust too use? Someone has said a 200sx one? Is this a custom job? :-/ thanks for any advice!

You do realise that the 406 turbo to manifold flange is an oddball and so your new GT series will not just bolt onto the manifold yes?

 

Elbow wise, I'd think its a custom job to be honest, but you may be able to find an OE option to bolt onto the turbo itself and then fabricate a downpipe.

i used a standard TT one on mine but you would also need the TT manifold to use it

Thanks guys for replying! Lol yes Tom I do and I already have a TT manifold for which ive had for sometime but just now getting round to fitting it all with new turbo just having trouble with the elbow to downpipe! I bet a TT elbow is like gold dust? I have a R33 elbow that I got from breakers which is right when bolted to the turbo but it will never bolt to the exhaust! it has a slight twist to the exhaust flange end which aims it to the w/arch to much :-(

Have to go custom then. Thanks for your help guys!

It's more important to get a tt manifold, as it's harder to build a manifold yourselves. The elbow is a lot easier.

 

But I doubt if it will fit. I mounted a similar sized T28 on Tt manifold and didn't hit the bulkhead with 5mm clearance. If your willing to smash a big dent in your bulkhead, it will fit...

What you'll need is these-

 

 

and turn it into this-

 

 

I'm just going to sleeve it to the original exhaust pipe. Ideally you want the biggest L-bend you can for maximum flow, in this case it was 2.5 inches.

Hope this helps.
