aaz turbo option

[theman53]

I think I used a m8x16 or x20mm long hex head. No issues?

[mark3kid]

The problem I'm having is how do you fit it into the hole with such tight areas? It doesn't look like you physically enough room.

Studs in the turbo.

Yup ^^

my flange finally came in the mail 


so guys Im just wondering. so where the actuator comes out into the dp does that not have to be blocked off?
sadly I have had zero time to even touch the car since I started my new job. but soon enough ill get to work on it 

[Gizmoman]

Not positive I understand the question but here is the one I built:
The extra tang is for a brace to the block.

The gate should only open once you've hit either the boost setting of the turbo, or the setting of a boost controller.

Until you hit that pressure (I think stock is 30 psi but Alcaid could verify), the gate will stay closed due to the spring pressure in the pot.

I believe you can also adjust the opening pressure with the knurled sleeve-nut on the actuator rod from the pot. Less tension = lower max boost.

I'm using a DIY boost controller and have it set to 22 psi. A quick search should net you plenty of posts on building a controller.

yup that answered my question and thanks for the photo helps for reference!.
as for the boost well im not sure yet. ill figure that out once I get it ready to run

Good to see you finally received the flange. I figured out what happened to the last one, I shipped it to another guy as I mixed up the addresses.... nice quote in your signature BTW

[mark3kid]

Is that the car or what you hope it looks like when your done?

That is a very nice looking auto sir. Hard to imagine hearing it go clack, clack, clack

[shorttimer]

Super nice ride !

[mark3kid]

yes that is the actual car. hood needs work now sadly after hitting a deer and my intercooler tubing blowing off into the hood. but still fixable. also here is a picture of what the engine looked like. i am doing a little different colors this time

Here's the flange I made for our HE200WG, prior to hitting the rough spots with a die grinder and welding it:



I ended up grinding a small relief for the wastegate flapper to give it a little extra travel (it was hitting the edge of the oval outlet).

Just got the car running about two weeks ago.  We're running about 25.5 psi (at an elevation of 6200'), and it's a blast to drive.  It's been a great father-son project (he gets his license in two weeks) and has literally transformed the car.  We're in the process of installing a lightweight flywheel and beefier clutch, since the stock clutch started shredding itself pretty quickly with the newfound torque.

Looking good nice to hear it is up and running
