LOL, I hadn't noticed that, the 90 degree rotation. Great eye! Order cancelled@soaringpotato I was looking at a similar adapter but it looks like it is rotated 90° from where it is supposed to be. The long side of the flanges should be aligned but maybe it is just the image. The other problem is the offset, I tore everything apart today and it looks like there is only about 1" of clearance between the turbo and the tube for the cab mount.
I am still racking my brain on how @JDMBrian mounted this. This is his photo and its definitely a Holset turbo on what looks like a stock manifold. There has to be a manifold out there somewhere with a T3 flange. He said early in his post that he had a 4D35T but I cant find anything when I search for a manifold for that motor.
They just got back to me and said they checked with the warehouse and manifold suppliers and that they don't have a manifold with that bolt pattern. Maybe they did in the past but it seems strange that they would offer a different bolt pattern when they sell a TD05 turbo in the kit.I'm like 90% sure his manifold came from Kinugawa or similar. They produce, or used to, a manifold that looks to have a T3 mount.
I was just digging through some old posts and found this comment about a Turbo-glide manifold with a T3 interface. I was able to get a response back from them last night and they said they have custom castings for these and just need a couple weeks to machine. Now I just have to hope they will ship to the US. Still waiting for a response on that.The exhaust manifold is from Turbo-glide in NSW, has a T3 interface on it. They can provide with other interface sizes.
