my turbo setup with no adapter plate who needs one, hehe. all of that only cost me $250 to piece together, test fit it on my z6 already, looks so sexy. hope to swap and boost pretty soon....

looks interesting - but by the looks of it, it'll be leaking at the point where the turbo meets the "header" real soon.. watch out!

get an adapter plate, dont be that ghetto.

ImportHatch

and I thought adapter plate was ghetto......Good luck.

That is beyond ghetto!

It's*BOLO!!

haha hell ya, i think thats more ghetto than mine, but hey it works, so whatever

hulkhb

spend the 3$ on a chunk of 1/2" steel and make one , that **** is too ghetto.

I'd like to see how well it works, and for how long. I do think you'll have problems with sealing as that's not quite the greatest mechanical clamping action going on there.

I've never cared for the bitch work of making an adapter plate. My $0.02? Weld a flange onto the manifold, and brace the turbo so the manifold doesn't support the weight of the turbo.

i think it will leak, but if it doesn't it will work. i had mine welded to the manifold, and it worked great.

put soem jb weld around it..... better yet weld that sucker together..... J/p

luckypon7

man is that a t25? if it is that is the exact same turbo i'm running but different manifold. will you still have your A/C on with that o2 housing? on mine i had to shave that **** down and the A/c a lil. will you be running 14psi i use washer to reduce it to 10.5psi.

xjoe

i think it was bryson on this board who used that that setup (without an adapter plate) for a good while, i dont think he had any leeking problems, his site is on the zcresource i think thezcr.com ??

Carlito Brigante

that from the looks of it just scared me.

go to http://www.homemadeturbo.com and check out the turbo pages im sure u can get an idea on how to make an adapter plate. that ***** gonna come loose.

darkracer

i looked at how Bryson did it and it inspired me to do that and i didn't want to machine a frickin plate so i did this. he ran that setup in his car and his was more ghetto than mine. i'm going to weld the washers on the housing so they don't push out when i try to torque them down, this will create a new bolting surface that won't push out so i can torque the **** out of it, therefore preventing leaks.

madman604

OMG! that is so ghetto i saw little underprivalged kids living in your turbo

darkracer

LOL, so if i torque the shi.t out of the bolts, then jb weld it or weld it, it would be fine right? btw, where do i find jb weld, never heard of it, down here in HI anyway.

madman604

heck if you're gonna weld, why not weld on a proper flange or mounts?


I can see it now....vroooommmm.....pshhhtt, vrooom....clang-thunk-clunk-clunk-clunk-clunk-clunk-clunk...grind....silence

what does that mean? sorry from HI,
yeah i'll probably weld it or something, and i was going to make a braket to support it too, so don't worry, it won't fall off.

btw, will i still have to leave the gasket inbetween the turbo and the mani to seal it or will the weld be enough?
thanks for the help, comments and humor,

Wow, newbs with knowledge. &lt;/sarcasm&gt;

nope can't run the ac on my z6 in my 91 hb cause the front driver side mount and the ac bracket are the same thing and get in the way of the stock wastgate actuator. besides couldn't run my piping and my compressor housing would be blowing and sucking my ac compressor .

Stock T25 boost is 8psi, i have 1. Eclipses get 12psi out of them because they have a factory electornic boost controller which is controlled by the ecu. The o2 housing clears the a/c on integras, but the wastegate hits the power s teering bracket.</TD></TR></TABLE>

uhh. mine shot pass 10psi , so is yours on yet? how does it run?

why dont you just get some C-clamps from ACE hareware
