Default GT2560R Compressor Outlet - 180° "Reclock" Adapter?

Does anyone sell a 180° "reclock" adapter for the GT2560R's compressor outlet? I want to mount a 300ZX outlet tube so that it faces forward. I've searched for hours and have come up empty. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!

In all my searches with a similar SR20 turbo, I've never seen anything. I might suggest clocking the compressor housing to suit your application.

I would think one of the three positions could be utilized in some way. Where does your manifold mount the turbo?

Any semi-competent fabricator can do that.

not worth the money but...

STANCE - Turbo Clocking Adapter for T25 - Enjuku Racing Parts, LLC

that is to make a s15 t28 have the same orientation as a s13 t25... but it might help you.

Just clock the turbo and make IC pipes to fit IMO.

Bring it to a machine shop and see if they can use a lathe (or whatever) to remove the triangular part of the flange for you. If that does not leave enough room for a coupler, have them weld on an inch or two of aluminum tubing.

Thanks for all of the suggestions. This is going in a Locost, so space in the engine bay is at a premium. No space to route the IC piping to the side and I need clearance underneath for the steering shaft. Machining off the triangular flange might be the way to go. Or just have an adapter made up out of some 1/2" plate....

With a 90 degree elbow facing forward, one of the three mounting holes on the flange will be blocked off.

I am having a custom machined adapter priced up. Attached is a drawing in case someone ever needs a similar part made. The adapter is designed to bolt to the compressor outlet flange with three M6-1.0 x 20mm flat head socket screws. The two bolt patterns are offset 47.5° instread of 60.0° to get the outlet tube to point straight ahead instead of 12.5° to the outside of the car.
