compressor housing adjustment? *pics now*
 

hey guys, i bought a volvo 15g turbo off a friend of mine, I haven't recieved it yet but he says that one half of the turbo can almost do a complete 360, he doesnt know a whole lot about turbos, neither do i. i was just wondering if i am screwed, or is it not that hard to adjust it to where i want it and then bolt it in place?? that means i have to figure out how to adjust the wastegate too....this sux, anyone that can give me any advice, it will be greatly appreciated, thanks alot.


edit.....heres a few pics

Re: compressor housing adjustment?
 

all turbos can be adjusted and rotated. you are lucky that it seems to be rotating so simply. i cant rotate mine for crap, and i need too.

Re: compressor housing adjustment?
 

look at how the WG actuator is mounted. Many are in a solid part of the compressor housing. Just move the housings and drill and tap new holes. Just go shallow on em.

Re: compressor housing adjustment?
 

but once i have it positioned where i want it, how do i stop it from moving? the wastegate isnt attached right now, so im kind of blind when it comes to re-attaching it.....?



on a side note, i told my g/f im ordering her a HMT thong ;D

Re: compressor housing adjustment? *pics now*
 

I'm curious. What manifold is that?

Re: compressor housing adjustment? *pics now*
 

can i ask why i see an FMU, injectors and an SAFC???

Re: compressor housing adjustment? *pics now*
 

and a fuel pump!?

Re: compressor housing adjustment? *pics now*
 

SAFC is not mine, so i wont be using it.....you see the other stuff cuz...umm...im gonna be using it, or should i not use something in conjuction with something else....in simpler terms, what should / shouldnt i use?

Re: compressor housing adjustment? *pics now*
 

Where did you get that Intercooler.

Re: compressor housing adjustment? *pics now*
 

unless you plan an chiping your ECU, ditch the FMU and keep teh AFC and use soem 450cc injectors

Re: compressor housing adjustment? *pics now*
 

not sure where the IC came from, the safc is not in my possesion so i wont be able to use it, im not srue what to use out of what i have....should i use the pump, injectors and fmu or/???

Re: compressor housing adjustment? *pics now*
 

what size are the inj ??
you can chip your ecu and run TE, UBER, or Crome if yo uhave large enough injectors

Re: compressor housing adjustment? *pics now*
 

the injectors are 310cc, my ecu is already chipped, but its just a normal gsr program, how well would it work if someone were to just burn me a chip thats "turbo ready" lol? i dunno

Re: compressor housing adjustment? *pics now*
 

sell the injectors to someone running N/A and buy at set of dsm's. then buy a willem burner from chris and your set as far as fuel managment goes. if you wanna tune your self you're gona need a WB though.


besides charge piping, BOV and a DP it looks liek you are ready to go

Re: compressor housing adjustment? *pics now*
 

i am gettin a BOV, i thought it was in the pic???? ??? ???

Re: compressor housing adjustment? *pics now*
 

yeah it is, i'm blind

you are even close than i thought,

Re: compressor housing adjustment? *pics now*
 

Racintweek,
ok good, u got me nearvous for a sec ;D

am i able to use an SAFC with my ecu being chipped? reason i am asking is because i like the idea of using that more than rechipping everytime.....and where is a good spot to get a wideband.....and thank you for your time, your help is very much appreciated

Re: compressor housing adjustment? *pics now*
 

you can use the AFC w/ a chipped ECU. but i wouldnt, once you set your tune and burn a chip you are good to go unitl something in your setup changes.


there is a thread about WB O2 in general discussion right now
