Turbo install update pics


Recommended Posts

I wonder instead of trying to fab up another full piece of sheet metal, if you could take another hood, cut the "hump" out, and put it on top of the existing "hump" to further raise it and make the "hump" appear to grow

 

thats not a bad idea.

It should come in around there but it depends on your cam, a/f, timing, ect. Put the waste gate as close to the merge as you can. Mine should have been closer as I get alittle creep at low boost. It holds anything over 10 pounds excellent though so I'm not changing because I'm not going lower than 15.

 

Good to know

 

thats what i was afraid off, boost creep... ill do what i can to get it close to the merge that i can.

Man these builds like this make me want to do something similar with a junkyard v8 and a smaller turbo cuz im broke, haha.

 

Looks good

 

Those turbos are cheap for the 1.32 unit. They go for around 550. You can get the 64mm with a 1.10 a/r for about 460 or so new.

2.5" into WG 2.25" out

i turned the WG outlet flange down until the 2.25" tube sliped over it. about .080 thou.

 

seems like overkill but id really be surprised if i have any boost creep issues...

 

all done with the hotside now.

 

I'll have to tilt the radiator forward more than i wanted but i think it will be ok.
