Anybody with a EVO I-III/GVR4 6-Boost turbo manifold?

[EVO-00X]

Hi guys
Can somebody with a 6-boost turbo manifold please grab a measurement for me please?
I need to find out how far the turbo manifold sticks out from the rocker cover at its furthest point please.
See pic for illustration purposes only lol.
[Note, this is not a 6-boost many in this pic. 6-boost has the xwg facing the power steering pump]
Cheers :thumbsup:

170mm

Champion, thanks Cheeks :thumbsup:
Reason is, I was trying to figure out whether it'll take an alloy radiator or whether it'll only allow the fitment of a thin'ish OEM GSR/EVO radiator.
Having an actual measurement dispels any doubt.
Rob Barac was running an OEM radiator with his 6-boost from these pics and yeah, doesn't look like an awful amount of space in there to fit a thicker radiator.
cheers mate.

looks like it's custom under the support radiator time?

 

[EVO-00X]

Na not for me Kyle. I already have a custom steampipe manifold on mine and its close to 175mm.
I used to run an OEM GSR/EVO copper core radiator and it fit, but I had to cut back the overflow nipple to get the hose away from the zorst manifold runners. Silicon hose works the best there and handles heat well.
Anyway, I replaced the oem radiator with a new aftermarket 'oem Lancer' replacement. It weighs fuk all in comparison and it has really light plastic top/bottom tanks, but a thin lip for the radiator cap to screw onto that doesn't really look like the strongest thing in the world lol.
The plastic tank is 50mm thick and the core is actually 25mm thick and thinner than OEM. It has more fins than oem GSR.EVO which probably makes up the extra surface area for its relatively thin core.
I'd rather a nice full alloy radiator built to OEM dimensions though lol

why not just go a civic radiator ?

I'm running a 6boost with a td0620g and external gate. And gsr rad, no issues

why not just go a civic radiator ?

Cause the Civic radiators are a little too wide at 35cm.
My manifold sits a little more to the left so it can provide just enough room for a 90' flange for a Tial 46mm xwg (without hitting the power steering pump) and a good angle off the back of the turbo for a 3" dump pipe. See pic.
I might just have to get a custom jobby done with either the choice of:
a] 300mm wide with 60mm thick dual core; or
b] Full oem width with only 30mm single core.
It was good to find out how far the 6-boost stuck out (170mm) to weigh up options, but its pretty much the same as mine (175mm).
The pic is a bit deceiving, the radiator overflow hose is about 30mm away from the manifold runner but in the pic it looks like its right next to it lol

Relocate over flow bottle. Boom more room lol

If my gt35r wont fit with the similar radiator to yours, im just going to cut out the offending tubes and epoxy/fold them closed.
Even if I end up with a hole in the radiator it will be bigger than a little civic one

 

[khubner1]

if anything i'd be looking to get that nipple relocated so that instead of aiming at the motor it aims parallel to the rad instantly solves the isue of silicone/rubber hose near hot surface

 

[EVO-00X]

The nipple is a bit away from the runner as I cut it shorter and attached a silicone hose. The manifold has been HPC ceramic coated so temps have been reduced a little.
See pic at how much space there is between nipple and manifold.... then space between manifold and radiator. There's no issue with where the nipple is right now, just that I don't trust these cheapo plastic end tank radiators that seem to be the only thin radiators in the market at the moment that fit, unless a custom full alloy one is made lol.

Pm soldave and ask where he got his radiator from, I remember in his build thead he had a fully custom radiator made up and was a reasonable price ( I think ). I know he's in Japan but could still be an option?

 

[evo-gsr]

I like nipples.

Rob you'll be struggling with the compressor housing either clashing with the front water pipe if you tuck the turbo too close to the block or the compressor housing clashing with the radiator if you clear the water pipe!

I found the biggest gain was getting a custom radiator made to sit inside the support panel. I had to have the pressure relief nipple (hahaha!) removed and replaced with a grub-screw as the nipple (ha - "nipple"!) block off cap fouled with the external waste-gate.

 

[cheeks]

I'm running a GT35R, external gate and OEM radiator. Tight but it fits. Just the way I like it.....

 

[EVO-00X]

Yeah the oem radiator fits for me too. Will see how long this aftermarket alloy/plastic tank one lasts for before getting a custom alloy one made up
It was good to know what others have been using in tight setups.

 

[pad4g63]

This is my setup with a 6boost mani & pwr radiator mounted on original lower mounts but tilted forward to get more clearance bettween the 2.

Tidy tidy engine bay there - love it! :thumbsup:
