1.6 turbo mock up pics
Hey guys, got my stock exhaust off and mocking up the turbo. Any issues that you can see here?

Your turbo CHRA needs to be clocked better.

I have a downpipe with a 5 bolt flange on it, but the internal wastegate runs thru the 5 bolt to v-band adapter... thing is the flapper cant really open that far inside the 5 bolt to v-band adapter. Is it possible to run the wg actuator rod through a downpipe?

If your downpipe flange doesn't have the same provision to actuate the flapper than no, you can't. T3 flange on the turbo? |

Yes.
Huh? The V-Band housing is the same as others here and it works fine. You need to port the turbo. If your downpipe flange doesn't have the same provision to actuate the flapper than no, you can't. T3 flange on the turbo? |

I plan on porting the flapper hole and a little on the back side if I stay v-band. I guess i will cut the downpipe and have a vband and angle welded on. see pichttps://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mia...cf87006daf.jpg

Yeah I am doubtful that downpipe works at all.
|
That t3 turbine is likely a Ford t3 5-bolt pattern. Downpipe looks like a t2 flange. If you already have that downpipe you need get a v-band flange on it.
|
anyone ever try to cut the backside off the vband housing and weld a downpipe to it?

Why are you insisting on doing things the hard way? Just have a 2.5" v-band welded on the end of the downpipe and enjoy life (assuming that's all it needs, likely a bit of fab work as well).
i would rather take a little extra time and not have boost control issues later. others have done this but the results won't necessarily be the same depending on turbine size and housing... here are the specs on the turbo: T3 Internal wastegate COM.42 A/R 45 Trim.48A/R

I clocked my CHRA like this. I don't have PS or AC so IC piping was simple to route. V band on the down pipe makes for simple fast install.

He got the lines from me, and I specifically got them from Charleston Rubber and Gasket.

Go look in your local phone book for hydraulic shops, then call them up and you can probably find one that can make lines for you.

It's gonna cost you about $40 if you don't have any of this stuff already, but you can basically pick it all up on the way home from work...

I've got most of it, need to grab the carbide cutter from HD racing |
I recommend a rounded tip cutter like the one I linked to. The Prussian blue is handy for determining exactly where the waste gate flap is making contact.

Quick question- anyone know which fittings I need to get the t3 working with this oil line? I already have an m10 x1.5 to 4an for the block.....RACING TURBO UPGRADE OIL COOLING FEED LINE 36" T3 T4 T04E T70 T60 MIATA RX7 RX8 | eBay
I also have the flange that bolts to the feed side of turbo |
That downpipe works pretty good! Almost ready to tune.... I guess I'm waiting til after the storm.

Can you share where you bought your turbo? I am looking for one with the same specs.

It was an ebay listing called:
For Turbo Charger T3 Internal wastegate COM.42 A/R 45 Trim.48A/R But that is no longer active. In other news this blew a head gasket on the first ride, some pics: https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mia...2492f9a540.jpg https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mia...98f1c6b277.jpg https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mia...d55ae4a618.jpg |

Porting just the hole didn't do the trick, you will need to do a lot of porting of hole and make a valley to the hole. What I ended up with was sort of like this but without the deep valley near the flange. |

here is a pic of the car almost finished. it made around 250 on the virtual dyno at 15psi boost creeping. I will see what I can do now with the ebc hooked up...no more power but a lot more midrange I still need to work on the undertray and get the slicks mounted for an event this weekend. |
250 is impressive for a stock 1.6 with ebay everything.
running megasquirt? what injectors? |
Megasquirt, 670cc injectors, 212KPA. It has an open downpipe that I cut right to about 15"
I have since dialed the boost back to 175kpa |
I got a steal on these rims and mounted some used SM7's on there for now to learn the car. Will probably go with A7's or the RS4's eventually depending on whether I really want to switch wheels at events.
