Default singel turbo manifold problem???

Ok i wanna do NA-T and DO NOT want to do a TT swap in the car. So i called full race and they don't make a manifold that will fit a turbo bigger than a GT-40 on a NA motor?? i have a GT-47 that i never used on any of my other projects so i'm putting it on the SC. So anyone that has a NA-T with a turbo as large as mine or bigger what manifold do you have and who makes it? i hear of guys making big #'s with NA-T so you have to be using something? please help!!!

Thanks for your time, warren

That will make the GT-47 fit on the car and the hood shut fine? I'm not getting a different turbo for the car. So get a manifold with a T-4 flange on it or make a 2" spacer for the manifold?

The full race manifold has a T-4 flange on it. They say that anything bigger than a gt-40 compressor hits the distributor. So still stumped. i really really don't wanna put out 3K more for a TT motor when all i will use is block bare head and crank. everything else i wont be using.

go research this question on ClubNA-T or Supra Forums. Plenty of people run larger turbos than yours on these cars, and there are plenty of helpful resources out there. If you have to ask, then you probably shouldn't try it. But if you really need to, Boost Brothers just released a manifold for these cars that will support some very large compressors.

two ways to solve this problem:

1) Get a T4 Flange plate and weld it on so that the turbo is angled away from the distributor

2) Get a distributor cap off a toyota 4runner V6 and an extra #2 ignition cable and bolt it on the distributor.
