Turbo Setup ==================

[Enuo]

I don't no anyone who can do it, unless u know frank of anyone I'll travel

Check around bodyshops and local metal fabricators, TIG isn't that common as most people default to MIG or arc welders. Iirc Frank disassbled his wastegate actuator and fitted a softer spring which reduced the wastegate pressure. You'll have to use the search forum to find it though.

 

[Azzydot1]

Yeh I will look abt tommow for a tig welder if anyone can do it. And I'll try a spring thanks to lower psi

 

[Azzydot1]

Frank do u have videos of ur car like pollyp has or dumping sound mate l

this one should be audible and about 125 at a guess mate

Interesting topic going on here!!

More problem today I got a tig welder man to do my sr20 rails and injectors done at 60 pounds am happy, but after chopping manifold and trying to chop and flange it, the turbo is way too big? And the cold side fits on top on alternator wiring side? So it's like stani micra turbo? What can I do ? Any smaller alternator wat will fit? Or longer belt with brackets ?

 

[Azzydot1]

Been a long day today got my sr injectors made and turbo set at 5 psi sadly am sellin. The full lot am really busy and I need the money

 

[--alpina--]

How can you lower the PSI on the turbo, would a turbo boost manual control Do this? Want to drop to minimum boost before rolling road session commences!

J

 

[Azzydot1]

It has been lowered by a custom rod to 5 psi so u can go higher on boost controller but not lower then 5 psi

 

[Kamarley]

I'm going to get a 1.3 lump then build a turbo build on it and then swap it for my 1.0

 

[Azzydot1]

That's a gd idea good luck with ur turbo build

mine the same but i have brackets from a micra that had Air Con which raises the alternator higher and i know have clearance!!

J

 

[Azzydot1]

I wana lower it I don't have air con any longer belt that will fit ?

 

[--alpina--]

First of all,if you pull the alternator back to clear the turbo etc do you have room to adjust and tighten it oppose to slacken it? and also if it does put your belt on as normal then measure roughly but you may need to cut the belt to do that and see how many inches the cut - to - cut is and go to the auto factors and tell them, they might have exactly what you need and job done!

post some pic,s up so we can see what the problem is

 

[--alpina--]

Actually aircon belt is longer which is what i have!! but dont know how much longer you need it!

You can see the gap which I need belt for and bracket that's where I want my alternator to be so turbo fits

 

[Azzydot]

needs to be TIG,ed, (professionally)

Thanks frank I got tig welded by pros and with custom brackets done to fit k11 inlet

 

[frank]

polly fitted a longer bracket and longer belt did,nt he mate ?
or you could turn the tubby to face forwards maybe

What u think of mines frank it's big turbo

 

[frank]

smaller than my TD05 tho innit

 

[Azzydot]

How did that fit in then it's so big ? is that a Subaru turbo then frank what u got there?

 

[MicrAde]

How did that fit in then it's so big ?

Lol, I hear that all the time

 

[Azzydot]

So u have a pic of the downpipe cos it's tight behind there and then u have crossmember ?

 

[frank]

the downpipe is the same shape as the previous pic abdul ^ and yes a wrx one

 

[Azzydot1]

So the turbo hot side is 5 hole housing, where do I get one from so I can weld it on

 

[Azzydot1]

More problems try to put my turbo on and the turbo cold side is touching the dipstick block so can u cut it off a 1inch on block ? How will ? What do I use ?

 

[pork]

Can't you just bend it out the way?

 

[Azzydot1]

no u can't bent the engine block its abt 2mm metal and abt 1inch by 1inch cut so the turbo housing fits

 

[pork]

Confused?!?

Is the turbo hitting the dipstick metal tube bit?
If so, you jus bend out the way, that's what I've done
If not, got a pic of the problem

 

[Azzydot]

Can u see the dipstick housing plate I need to cut 1 inch off that so the turbo fits on the dipstick below

 

[pork]

Why do you want the turbo to fit in the dipstick?

 

[Azzydot]

I don't want to cut it but the turbo cold side housing plate touches the block by 1 inch so I'll rather cut the block so it fits in

 

[Enuo]

Are you trying to say you need to cut 25mm off the dipstick tube because it fouls the compressor side of the turbo?

 

[Azzydot]

No no, u can see under the dipstick thin 3mm cast block needs copping only 2 inch, not the dipstick just under that

 

[r-reg-sr]

i think the mani is made to clear obstructions ?

 

[--alpina--]

loooool you guys are jokers, look if you have to cut that F--KER out then do it not with a hammer and chisel or a nail filer, use a grinder you should be ok, otherwise leave as it is and go back to the drawing board, i leave it to your descretion..... grinder is your best friend right now!!

J

 

[Azzydot1]

That is right r reg sr, and which out a chop its not gona fit

 

[Azzydot1]

Yes am using a grinder tommow and clear it off

 

[--alpina--]

make sure you dont go grinding into the main blick, if its like the moulding part of the black then cut is nicely and smooth it out and make sure it has more clearance than needed this way you have space to jiggle it around to fit in and sorted!!, you should F-----G see how my turbo is fitted, you will vomit the amount of time and measurements thats gone in to it, not forgetting the intercooler i had to end up using!!! if you need an intercooler, i have a new one im looking to sell with custom made brackets aswell which fits at the front, takes literally 5 mins to fit solid!!

J

 

[Azzydot1]

Dw abt that am gona sort that, how much for front mount intercooler

 

[pollyp]

azzy have u tried inserting the dipstick pointing UP rather than forwards?
cutting the dipstick tube shorter, ur gonna affect the accuracy of the oil reading unless u adjust the stick itself too.

my turbo is laid out hung below the mani,
cold side towards radiator,
hot side towards alternator,
using aircon version alternator brackets which lifts the alternator higher up to clear the turbo elbow,
additional upper bracket to move the alternator clear of the turbo and held static,
using an aircon version belt tensioner between crank pulley & alternator to apply tension,
finally I had to test afew alternator belts to get the right length to fit correctly.

you did,nt "test fit" it like i advised, before welding the flange and actuator mounts then mate
and that exhaust elbow will have to be custom made eh

Pm`ed with pictures!!

Not from your missus though

Polly it's touching the block under the dipstick , it's my turbo housing plate which it hits that block needs 1 inch cut that's all polly, and my car is t reg no air con, I can pull alternator down and make bracket to fit? Then I need a custom longer bent?

 

[Azzydot]

Thanks for telling me before frank I should have marked it with black ink rather then took a guess and welded it

 

[frank]

i cant see any elbow flanges on ebay atm mate, there are some scooby elbow,s, but they point towards the bonnet tho
bonnet exit screamer maybe ?
and just bust that alloy webbing off eh, it does,nt do much
