Hi im chasing some info on turbo manifolds to suit 2.8 diesel hilux, does someone manufacture these manifolds? or would it have to be custom made?
Cheers Mitch

get a surf manifold from the 2.4. straight bolt up

sure on that? The 2lt ran a ct20 and the square flange/round hole that goes with it.

Either way any t3 flanged turbo is pretty big for a 2.8!

Only the manifold from a 2LT-E will bolt up to a 2.8. The manifold from a 2LT will not.

Yeah a t3 may be a bit big, but its more common to buy than a t25 that a lot of kits come with. All I'm really after is a cheap turbo setup I can put together for less than $1000 + exhaust. So does anyone know if someone makes one or not?

You could use an adaptor with the surf manifold! The T3 is prob to big though as said before! The t25 are quite common , just scour ebay for one off a sr20 or ca18 equiped nissan silvia!

get a second hand kit will most likely be the only way to get a turbo setup + exhaust for under a $1000

the second gen 2L-T's manifolds will bolt up.

the only reason im looking down this route is i think it'd be cheaper to buy a second hand t25 or the likes and buy or make a manifold instead of the ct20 option.. And all the plumbing is pretty simple, so why buy a second hand kit for $1000 + when i could make/buy something cheaper and potentially better?

The AXT turbo manifold appears to have a T25 flange, however when i enquired about buying a manifold seperately off these guys they weren't interested in helping.



Denco use Schwitzer (Borg Warner) turbo's, not sure what flange they have.

DTS uses a mitsubishi turbo, again unsure what the flange is like but doesn't appear to be garrett style

Turboglide uses garrett for all their other kits, so could assume the same for the 3L. Turbo in the picture looks t25-ish


IMO look for something in the GT25 series. GT25/54 may work nicely

Cheers dogbreath_48 thats what im chasing mate thanks

Good luck getting anything off Turboglide seperately!
Take a really heavy wallet with you aswell!

heavy wallet for turbo glide? really? i was under the impression they were pretty reasonable?

if the only S/H kits you can find are $1000+ then your not looking hard enough. I picked uo an entire hilux with an aftermarket turbo kit fitted for $600 and I see second hand kits on ebay all the time going between $400-$600. One of the guys at work did what you're wanting to do, by the time he bought the turbo and the flanges and all the piping the costs were $500-$600 then add the time spent to make it all up and fit it. It may be just me but I'd rather get a complete S/H kit for that same price and not stuff around with all the welding and fabricating to make a kit

No worries, There will be other manufacturers out there but those are the only ones I could think of off the top of my head. Safari/aps/arb (same same) would also probably use a Garrett flange if they do a 3l kit. Chuck an add up in the wanted section - that's how I found the safari manifold for my 2h

The turbo glide kits are a T25, i had the kit on my 2.8 for 3 years and now have the same kit on my 3.0L..

Jst a bit of info, not sure what they sell the manifolds for but..

Thought it would not be too hard to get a manifold off a 2Lte and buy/ make a flange to suit the turbo you intend on using, cut off the CT20 flange and weld the new one on...?

Isnt matt.mcinnes making adaptors to suit these conversions?

Perhaps its still on the drawing board.. See --> http://www.outerlimits4x4.com/ftopic202712.php

I think that was ct26 to t3 only, but worth a pm

i made an adaptor from 20mm plate , it adapts your surf manifold ct20 to a t25 or t28 turbo! wasnt hard to make! only took a couple hours at work! i love foreigners

Any pics mate? Did you do it the same sort of way as Matt mcinnes with the countersunk screws? What sort of heat can aluminium withstand?

Yep same way! only by hand lol! he has one on his drawing board by the looks of it!
i made mine from steel as aluminium has a low melting point !!
seems matts are made of 14mm if u are worried about the weight!

Have a CT20 to T25

i've been thinking about it, and after looking on boostcruising.com i've found that a good secondhand t25 off a ca18det can be picked up for less than $200, and a guy near my work has a computer plasma cutter to cut manifold flange's.. soo why not make my own manifold other bits at home?

any one know where i can get one of these items to suit a 18r or if it is even worth my time

It maybe possible, pm sent.

Priced turboglide for a manifold separately and they wanted $450 from memory with whatever flange pattern you want.

cheers fasteddie
thats what i needed, a price to work around.
