WHICH THE FAN MOVES I WAS WONDERING IF I WOULD BE ABLE TO RUN IT LIKE THAT? IT ONLY MOVES JUST A LITTLE! AND I BASICALLY NEED TO KNOW IF ITS GOOD TOO AND WHAT AND WHAT DO I NEED TO RUN IT? I HAVE THE MANIFOLD, THE SNAIL, THE DOWN PIPE, THE WASTE GATE, AND THE INTERCOOLER!! I KNOW I NEED THE PIPEING BUT WHAT ELSE ?? IF IT IS POSSIBLE TO PUT ON MY SINGLE CAM I WOULD ONLY WANT TO PUSH ABOUT 2-3 POUNDS...MY ENGINE IS STOCK!
PLZ HELP ME IM TIRED OF GETTING SPANKED MY V-8'S .......LOL

OH AND ILL POST A PIC OF THE TURBO IN A BIT THANKS

 

well first off you shoudnt be racing and second 2-3 pounds on a bone stock d series isnt oing to "spank" a v8. But other than that go for it do as you please.

 

An IHI turbo will work well on a 1.6L. If it is off a newer Subaru, it will be ideal. BMC Race makes an adapter plate that allows the turbo to bolt to a factory HF exhaust manifold. The stock wastegate is about 7lbs, which is almost perfect. To make the coolant lines and oil return work properly, you will have to rotate the center section.

 

well the manifold it has i think bolts up to my echaust manifold!!!

and dude above the guy that actually help me oh thanks by the way....

and for the dude on top gtfo bye

 

okay lets see u said for the coolat line and oil return to work properly i have to rotate the center section???

whats the center section?

and thanks for helping me seeing that about 63 people have viewed this so farr!!!!!

 

1.) Nobody likes to read all CAPS LOCK...

2.) Nobody likes to read poorly written sentences.

3.) The center section is the center of the turbo. It does not get any more basic then that. It is in-between the compressor and the turbine housings... where the oil goes.

 

original post... youre way too excited.

listen to n3va3vasatisfi3d. hes got a good idea of what hes talking about.

 

Word man.

Grammar. I learned it in elementary school. Learn it. HT hates people who talk in all caps.

 

What is the point of going through all that work for 2~3lbs?
Set your goals a little higher please. Shoot for 6~8lbs or something.

If you grab hold of the shaft that passes through the turbo (screws through both fans) try pushing it side to side as well as up and down. It shouldn't move much. IF that thing is moving noticeably then I wouldn't suggest using it. It may cause damage with oil going where it's not supposed to.

The physical size tells a little of the story, but posting AR and size numbers is much more helpful.

Finally - what is your goal here?
It sounds sort of like you are expecting a big result - spanking V8s.
Just slapping on a turbo and not knowing where you will be seeing boost is no help to you.
