1 fast z Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 I had a cheap t3/t4 chinese turbo that roased on my sohc Turbo 77 Z. So I had a HE351cw off of a 2005 cummins that I had bought a few years ago at my shop. So I decided to make that one work. I read that most people had problems with the V band situation, on adapting it to a 3" exhaust system. So I programed an adapter on one of my CNC lathes, and made this adapter out of a solid chunk. I also wanted to stay internal wastgate, so I bored out the wastgate hole to 1.0625" ID, and bolted a mount to the compressor housing. The pictures show the air cleaner right on the turbo, but I ended up using a 45 degree silicone elbow, and a 4" tube, and running the air cleaner down lower.

boardkid280z Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 Nice looking CNC piece! What kind of power and boost are you expecting to make? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bernardd Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 Brian, someone handed me a slightly used he351 to try and I could use a piece like that. Are you interested in making another one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1 fast z Posted January 31, 2011 Author Share Posted January 31, 2011 I could make another one for you Bernard. The most expensive part is the material. I have been running 17 PSI with this setup with no boost creep through 7200rpm. MAKES GOBS of power too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
