Not the night for New turbo :(
 

Yea.................... the log manifold didn't give me the spacing i need. i have to source/build another one that has the flange closer to runner number one...

i was still able to weld my v-band flange setup on... I had issues with the Holset stock v-band because it had an slight Indentation

so i had to think of a way around it.... luckily the mig welder had wire speed and variable voltage, i was able to lay down some some ugly beads lol.. but its air tight ( well i flashed a light through the cracks and filled them in as i saw gaps) blah blah pics below

That is some custom work, there, Airman Jackson. Lookin' good though. Are you going to smooth everything out? What does the inside near the turbine look like after all the work? Can you do a leak test on that somehow? Lol.

Keep us posted!

yea thats the outlet,,,,,,,, i will use a grinder to smooth it out..... its pretty tight now.... but ill go over the outside of it with an tig hitting any gap i missed

damn Airman, I was gettin excited to see the snail in action. Oh well better luck next go at it! Welding on the floor FTW!!!!

ha yea..... i was in my work shop with our 300 chryslers, so i couldnt sit it on anything....

the airman is at it again lol when are you gettin the new manifold i wanna see some new blazin times at mir lol

man this was the new manifold man..... highly pissed from looking at it i just knew it would give me my space. but boy was i wrong... just as i thought ill need something like this...

Airman, custom fab that ish official. I know you can do it. Plus it would be much doper! just take away from your club240 time ha ha

HA ha not that much lol



its an H1c from an dodge turbo diesel truck

close the Gt30ish...

nice fab work, sucks it didnt fit tho. airman jackson ftw

thanks man..... dude you should have seen my face... it was as if my world turned upside down and a mighty Roar of the F word came from my mouth

i have had this turbo for about a month now and have been gathering parts etc... it sucked for a bit then i snapped out of it

word. I feel you Airman J but I know you will remedy the problem and be throwing down massive Holset power in no time.
hey we all gotta drop the "F" word everynow and then...
