Nice......
Is the flange heavey enough to prevent warping when welding? One guy made a plate 1 inch thick to bolt up his flange prior to welding to keep it from deforming. Guessing your are stick welding it also? __________________ Come and visit us in Duncan, BC www.raddcruisers.ca --> 60 Series Cable Lockers available - 4.11s or 3.70s - handles and cables included --> 12HT & H55F combos available - complete & running --> in stock and ready to go. |

Its not a lot heavier than the factory 13BT one that's kicking around here. I likley would have gone with 3/8s but the 1/2 was sitting in the metal bin. I bolted it to an old head when I welded it and that limited the movement. The big thing is vibration, its a heavy turbo that's hanging off the side of a four cylender ciesel. Its gonna shake a lot.

would it be for an old chrysler turbo? Start doing a few and you have a business. I am sure many of us would pick them up. Head to the wreckers get a bunch of turbos, rebuild them, provide the fittins and hoses. Ya it might be a good side thing.

Well, I'm inspired. I was just gonna flip my manifold but that looks like something I can maybe handle. What have you got into it for material costs? Did you mig weld that? Can you give us a breakdown of what you used and where you where you got it? Sorry for the heap of questions but like I said, I'm inspired!

I have about 12 hours into it
2 - 1.5" weld 90s (about $5 each) 2 - 1.5" weld Ts 1 - 2" weld 90 4" x16"? (didn't measure) x 1/2" hot rolled... would be better if it was 3/8" cold rolled 4"x4" x1/2" cold rolled for the turbo flange A few scraps of 1/4" to fill the funnel to the turbo flange It is designed for the Garret T-03 that comes on the Chrysler products but we have a source for brand new turbos (same spec) at a good price so I'm undecided if I'll spend a day at the wrecker pulling one or just pay the extra $400 for a new one. Yes I used the little mig. (Miller 135) Figured to go back and reweld with the big mig (Miller CP-200)but it wasn't necessary. Marc Ritchie is talking about having the plates water jet cut. This will save a bunch of time and we could sell everything as a kit. Let's wait and see if it all fit under the hood. It takes a bit of time to port match everything, but I'm surprised how little. I'm sure I could do it again in about 8 hours. __________________ Rocky Mountain Land Cruiser Association TLCA # 5513 '87BJ74, '86BJ70, '78FJ45, '53M100, '90M101cdn I support our Troopies |

Well done, I think most guys have had good luck with a bigger mig if you preheat the material a bit before welding.
Thats a smoking good deal for a new turbo, why pull a junkyard dog at that price. __________________ Come and visit us in Duncan, BC www.raddcruisers.ca --> 60 Series Cable Lockers available - 4.11s or 3.70s - handles and cables included --> 12HT & H55F combos available - complete & running --> in stock and ready to go. |

How about that electronic machine shop from one of the lists a couple years ago?
http://www.emachineshop.com/ Might be worth a shot. I remember trying the CAD interface, it wasn't too bad. __________________ 79 FJ40 Turtle 72 FJ55 Brain 76 FJ55 Junior 85 BJ70 Falcon 79 FJ40 Lucky I either need to start a business, or seek professional help!!!!!!!!!! |
