garetheves Posted December 4, 2006 Share Posted December 4, 2006 It's amazing how many hours you can while away seeing how fast you can twiddle it And after you can play with the turbo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted December 4, 2006 Share Posted December 4, 2006 Nice set up Nic, I'd get someone to fabricate a support for the turbo though, and the `gate. I am running the same turbo on my Skyline as soon as I can make some free time to fit the damned thing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nic Posted December 4, 2006 Author Share Posted December 4, 2006 Nice set up Nic, I'd get someone to fabricate a support for the turbo though, and the `gate. Chris, how would you suggest I do the supports? Do you have any pics you could post? I have a friend whose a welder, so if I had a pic I'm sure he could knock something up for me. cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeyb10supra Posted December 4, 2006 Share Posted December 4, 2006 Nic you will want some struts welded in with some quality 321 grade aluminium similar to the Turbo xs manifold Homer used Pretty sure this aluminium would be fine unles chris says otherwise http://img300.imageshack.us/img300/9753/forum11xe4.jpg hope you dont mind me using your pic homer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted December 4, 2006 Share Posted December 4, 2006 From Chris's previous posts I think he means a support for the turbo and wategate section from somewhere other than the manifold, like the block. I really don't think those supports on the XS power manifold make much difference since they're solid (I.e could promote cracking in other areas).

Chris Wilson Posted December 4, 2006 Share Posted December 4, 2006 You need rose jointed links, either from above or below, so expansion and movement is possible. I have some pics of how the F1 boys got over cracking back in the eighties when they ran turbo 1500 cc engines. Even Inconel was cracking until they supported the tuebo and wastegate. See ftp://ftp.chriswilson.tv/F1_turbo for some pics. You MUST allow movement though, I dont think Mikes idea will work too well, sorry.

You MUST allow movement though, I dont think Miles idea will work too well, sorry. great idea will look into making one of them when I start my install. If the manifold it wrapped will this not increase the chances of it cracking? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
