Kaan W Posted April 8, 2014 Author Share Posted April 8, 2014 Solid mounts will be fine Kaan, great build btw. Thanks Nicholas I've been going through ideas to try and avoid solid mounts but the turbo is so tight it's gunno scratch the strut tower with movement. What I'm going to try first is TRD mounts and also skim the exhaust manifold flange to a slight angle, ie a couple of mm taken from the side closest to the head to give it a slight slope. This should gain 3-4mm between the turbo and strut tower. If that doesn't work then I will try an engine movement damper which bolts from the intake side of the engine to the passenger side strut tower. I'm not too keen on the look of these so if I get fed up with it then I'll resort to solid mounts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luxluc Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 You have the CEA 7175 turbo in mind...correct?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaan W Posted April 8, 2014 Author Share Posted April 8, 2014 You have the CEA 7175 turbo in mind...correct?? That's the one mate, it's the large frame so the housings are bigger I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luxluc Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 That's the one mate, it's the large frame so the housings are bigger I think. JamieP said it was too laggy on a built 3.0. I'm sure it will suit a 3.4 perfectly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure it will suit a 3.4 perfectly I had the PT7175, with open housing was laggy, if he gets this one with the GT42 housing and divided hot side it will be an epic turbo IMHO. http://www.precisionturbo.net/Street-and-Race/ss/800-1-000HP/details/Street-and-Race-Turbocharger---PT7175-GT42-Style/274 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamieP Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 Yep that's the one Jamie, gone for the 1.12 AR housing Good choice, That will be an amazing turbo I think, I had the same turbo in 76mm on the black beast, spool was good even for that big, GT4271 will be superb.

jay200bhp Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 can you fabricate a small scallop to clear the turbo on your strut top ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaan W Posted April 9, 2014 Author Share Posted April 9, 2014 can you fabricate a small scallop to clear the turbo on your strut top ?? I could but it would involve too much work and a respray again. I should have thought about this when doing all the work on the bay. Hopefully skimming the exhaust manifold flange works enough for it not to hit.

Kaan W Posted April 12, 2014 Author Share Posted April 12, 2014 Finally finsihed the brake lines today, the last one to do was the drivers front brake which comes straight from the cylinder downwards into the wheel well. I was going to use a rubber grommet but instead made a feed through hole from a 10mm bolt and stainless steel dome nut with a 7mm hole drilled through the middle. Here is where it comes through into the wheel area. Also replaced the standard M6 nuts that hold the cylinder with stainless steel dome nuts.

mattdavies Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 Chris Wilson would be a good person to ask. Everyone goes for RBF 600 I believe in DOT5.1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnk Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 Motul RBF 600 or 660 but DOT 5.1 will do the job. Dont use DOT 5 as it's silicon based Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
