Hey guys do any of you have any pics of a proper turbo brace I'm trying to get some ideas and before someone says it I searched already and didn't come up with anything. Tony1 tried to explain to me how he does it and I just don't get it so please someone post some pics

umm u make a brace that u can bolt to both somewhere on the motor, and to the turbo, so the brace holds the weight of the turbo, not the actual manifold.

u should be able to take the manifold off, and the turbo can just sit there on the brace, happy as can be

 

thanks it would be really great if I could see a picture for reference

 

 

You may also have to brace the wastegate flange with that SS Autochrome

 

Is that your setup Tchleung?

 

its not, its a pic from slammdsol's setup

ok, know it all

But that is a good pic to actually show it, I think it gets bolted into where the power steering pump use to be.

you and i both know that i have no life except for this site. actually on slammdsol's it gets bolted to the where the ac compressor used to mount

 

I thought you were an ******* from the beginning but you've been useful lately.

 

who me? lol

 

Yup.

 

lol. i made someones ******* list. i feel special

 

Thanks Tchleung, I really want to see a tri pod setup like Tony1 was talking about

i know a cast mani usually doesnt need bracing, but would a *quality* tubular still need to be braced?

 

i bet it still breaks if its SS

 

bracing for peace of mind

yeah has anyone braced a turbo stuck on a full race mani?

 

ya, thats my turbo setup. I have been running the braced SSAC manifold since July and it has yet to let me down. (been about 8000+ miles now)

heres another pic if your interested:


tons more @ slammdsol.com

 

Wheres a place to get the materail that you use to make a brace for the manifold at? What material is it?BTW and how thick

 

1/8" X 1" mild steel stock works fine.

 

Thanks I love being a H-T junkie!!!!!!!!! Who needs a damn honda guide book or a magazine when we have H-T.

 

I wouldn't call that a proper brace you need to build a tripod type brace that supports the weight of the turbo and still allows it swing freely so when the stainless growns it can grow freely reference older formula one turbo stuff

 

^^^^^ Any pics of this?
