~My 91 GLI to 1.6TD conversion build up~

[foxracer1]

I'd try a BB turbo if i had the cash.

[zukgod1]

If you could get a BB turbo with the Merc specs I bet you would be very happy with it.
Would have a larger compressor but it would be able to spool like a k14!!

I have a contact @ High-Tech as well so let me know what you decide to do maybe we can get a T3 built with BB journals for a good price.

[foxracer1]

I second that!

call him!!! I need to get this running soon!!! I sold my truck this week so I don't have a backup car/truck right now!!
get me a price please?!?!



what is the "name" of the k26 mounting foot style??
and what is the "name" of the stock 1.6TD manifold foot??
t-3 mounts???

[zukgod1]

I think it's just a Trapezoid flange. Your going to have to either change your manifold to get the T3 foot or make an adapter to mount the T3 to your manifold.
The later would be the easiest I bet as you already have the Trapezoid flange made as your spacer now.

I just dropped my guy a text and he is still @ HT.

I'll report back VIA text as to what if anything he can do for ya.

I just talked to Turbonetics...I'm gonna send them my build sheet and they are gonna quote me on a DIESEL SPEC ceramic ball bearing turbo!
probably gonna be to expensive tho?

[zukgod1]

What are you looking for as to the specs?

big and spoolable??? lol


I really like the K24/26..but the gasser RPM range is kinda ***ty...I want a turbo with a better turbo map

I would rather NOT fab up compounds for it right now even tho that would be my favored set-up..


I want the K26 turbo with a diesel map?!?!?!?




what about this manifold for a t-3 mount??
would this work??

Yes that manifold will be fine.

Send me a copy of the build sheet so I can forward to my guy in SLC.

He said he doesn't have the ability to build a BB turbo there but recommended a Garret gt2860 as a off the shelf BB turbo.

Once you tell me what specs your looking for I will have him get us a price on a Wet Journal turbo. so you have options.

[zukgod1]

Here is a turbo I was looking at for specs.

It looks like a Chinese turbo but the price is good and the specs are that of a T3 off a Merc.

the build sheet is in PDF and it's the kind you can "add to" so I will show my build sheet here and you can copy and paste it..

Let me know what you get for a reply.

I think they are going to reply with a .48 AR on the exhaust side but I'm not sure on the intake side.

my guy @ HT can build one (not BB) as well as soon as we know the details so we can compair.

I'm kinda scared of the china turbos!!!
was it not ARB who bought a china turbo and it was balanced by just grinding the HELL out of the turbo nut??

did your buddy tell you how much that Garret you listed above would cost??
