T3 to T4 adapter plate for NA-T
just got my manifold and its a T4 flange and forgot my turbo is a T3 flanged, its a garrett GT3071r, my question is will an adapter plate work? or will it sit up to high and hit the throttle body? remember na-t

mount the manifold and place the turbo on top of the flange. take a picture. i want to see how much room there is.
i am in the same situation right now except i knew full well that i will be machining my own adapter plate. only difference between us is im going to run a 1jzgte intake manifold so turbo hitting stock manifold will not be an issue for me.
take a picture and i can tell you or help you.
i can also make a flange that clocks the turbo a bit so it clears the distributor in case you run a large inlet pipe.

im doing the same thing here..idk if im going to do an adapter just yet or have a t3 flange welded on in place so i dont have to worry about clearance issues..
i really wish they would just make damn t3 manifolds the ONLY place ive seen them is on ebay from austraila and its 200+ and 200 for shipping here

T3 manifolds are difficult to find for the 2JZ, cause generally speaking, t3 flanged turbo's are too small for the 2J.
As for clearance, I would suggest just replacing the stock t4 flange with a t3 flange on the manifold, unless the adapter is 1/2'' tall or shorter. There is minimal room for clearance with the stock intake especially when using the XS or SSAC manifolds.

^ i dont think t3's are too small for the engine for a streetable enjoyable car with 300-400whp..definitely think t3 would be good in that range..at least i hope..most people tho buy a t4 thats pretty large that can handle 500-600whp because thats their "goal" ..id rather a super quick spool for driving around town vs something i wont see anytime in the near future..id love to have 600+whp but i wont go for that till after i get a built auto tranny ems and supporting fuel mods..so for now its small cheap low whp goals that ought to be a lot of fun to drive.
