as you can see the inlet and outlets are flanged. a shop was going to charge me $40 a side to make adapter pipes. i thought about jbwelding a short piece of pipe to each side since it's the compressor side but i dunno how good of an idea that is. anyone wanna suggest something? btw... it's a t3 60 trim off a ford sho

ive never seen that before, but dont **** anything up by using jb weld. i repeat, dont use jb weld. ok now that we have that out of the way, dont use jb weld. find a machine shop to fabricate a plate for you, if you go the cheap way out in the beginning youll pay for it in the long run. oh ya, dont jb weld anything

 

dam man, i hope you can get it to work somehow.

 

I can machine you plates, both plates for $40. Email or AIM for info

$40 is what he said the local joint was going to charge ...?

Anyway, I've been wondering if the flanges on those funky turbos are just standard 2 bolt exhaust flanges....if so, they cost like $1.50 each at JC Whitney.

 

$40 per side. It's more than needing a flange. A place to bolt the piping onto or a filter is needed.

 

Dude, give, up and sell me that turbo. Where did you find it? I have been searching the junkyards, or did you buy it new. Here is a ghetto solution: Order the exhaust flanges from JCwhitney and weld a pipe to the two flanges. Attach the flanges and a gasket to the compressor. Voila!

nah, ignore what I said and forget the whole turbo thing and sell me that puppy cheap.

hehehe i got it off ebay, funny it's the 2nd one i've had in 6 months. Nah sorry can't sell it's the heart of my my custom setup. I think it might need a rebuild soon but I wanna up grade to a t3/t04b soon so I'm not worrying too much about it.

thanks for the offer man but I can get it done locally for $40 a side and I wanted to get it done by friday (might do the install then).

I doubt it is. i took it to the shop who wanted $40 a side and he compared it with a couple flanges, i THINK one might have been a 2bolt exh flange but it didn't line up right.

 

How much HP potential can these junkyard puppies put out in say...a SOHC 1.6L motor? I might go ghetto-fabulous and ****** me up a DIY kit as well. 8psi with the AFC hack. Think it'll work?

BTW, what manifold are you SOHC guys running with a turbo like this? Standard Drag log manifold?

 

I don't remember for sure but this turbo should be able to support like 200-300hp. I plan on using the afc hack with 6.5psi (that's what the tial spring is). I'm using a SFP log manifold, but any T3 manifold will work (ie drag, revhard,maxrev, etc). You can check the link in my sig to see what my setup is... it's not quite a full DIY junkyard/ghetto-fabulous setup.

i have the same problem..i fixedmy problem by going to the local turbo shop here(really big on domestics) and got the actual piping from the ford with the flange on it..took it to the muffler shop. they cut it for free. and got it welded on...total cost 20 bucks

 

If I had the exact size of the flange I could probly wip one up for you

I just did this one for me .

 

Randy,

I have two of those in my room for sale. One has a .48 A/R exhaust housing, other has .63 A/R. Both are Garret (AirResearch) T3 60trims. Email me or pm me if interested.

 

Which one would work better with a SOHC 1.6L? I assume the .48 A/R, on a low boost setup with no intention of going past 10psi on stock internals.

 

You can find a used compressor inlet pipe and compressor outlet pipe from a RWD SR20DET T25. They use the same flanges.

 

now where could i find one of those?

 

Jsut make the inlet flange...you can chop off the edges of the outlet and it'll be fine

 

People are always selling stock T25's off of the RWD SR20DET on Ebay or on http://www.thepartstrader.com

 

is there a possibility I could just take the compressor housing off and weld on a a 2" pipe to the outlet and a 2.5" pipe to the inlet?
