noobers first turbo ****PICTURES****
 

hey guys i recently started to put together my first turbo setup for my zc hatch. and due to me being a poor college student i decided to fab some stuff instead of spending money and not eating. and since i know yall are pic -----s here ya go:

turbo from a 2.2l chrysler

compressor off. a little freshening up and rebuild. dont worry the seals are fine i just spilled a quart of oil on my bench, the worst part is it was mobil one and that ---- aint cheap

[img width=400 height=300]http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a344/craniumcrunch69/P1010005.jpg[/img]

manifold (no flange yet)

manifold with compressor attached ( what i did was has hack the flange off of another manifold (chrysler) and weld it on)

intercooler from an FC RX7

I AM THE WORST TURBO EVER I ONLY BOOST 2.5 PSI! DAMMIT!!! oh yeah that my boost guage from a shelby daytona hacked up so it doesnt have the gay door ajar ---- attached

[img width=400 height=300]http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a344/craniumcrunch69/P1010025.jpg[/img]


so yeah im pretty close right now i have a bunch of charge piping and couplers and a boost proportional FMU. I still need to fab a downpipe and get some other misc. things

WHAT DO YOU THINK NIG NOGS

Re: noobers first turbo ****PICTURES****
 

:o hmt at its finest

Re: noobers first turbo ****PICTURES****
 

haha sick boost gauge man! hah i acctully want that i love how its sqaure. if u find a cool place to mount that in the dash itl be awsome

Re: noobers first turbo ****PICTURES****
 

As was mentioned in your thread on HT.... turbo is going to be soooo low... I suspect drainage issues. You are better off with an HF manifold... brings turbo up couple inches.

Re: noobers first turbo ****PICTURES****
 

Looks good but like mentioned its probably gonna be too low

Re: noobers first turbo ****PICTURES****
 

Good stuff.I love the pure low budget kits. :y That boost guage is just awesome.

Re: noobers first turbo ****PICTURES****
 

Well instead of needing 2 90's to get his downpipe to line up with the exhaust he'll only need one now O0

Re: noobers first turbo ****PICTURES****
 

haha i think you blow harder than anybody else in here! :P I hope your manifold holds up for you, it looks like a good idea

Re: noobers first turbo ****PICTURES****
 

Good stuff. True HMT.

Re: noobers first turbo ****PICTURES****
 

i can blow 4-5 psi

Re: noobers first turbo ****PICTURES****
 

damn hotrex thats a good blow ima heavy smoker though so ----. yeah i see now what you guys are talking about i think im going to get my old engine back from a friend so i can mock this ---- up. i thought i measured correctly but ill do it anyways just to be sure. that boost guage was my best yard find yet hahahahahaha. yeah well thanks for the advice. ------ assholes on HT were talking ---- on me telling me its a bad design. im just a ------ NOOB for christsakes i didnt design it like that on purpose i did it because i dont know what im doing ----. Im never posting on there again you guys a re way cooler. OH BOB SAGET!

Re: noobers first turbo ****PICTURES****
 

you got compressor and turbine side mixed up :P

Re: noobers first turbo ****PICTURES****
 

thats cause hotrex has plenty of prectice blowing......... :y ;D ;)

Re: noobers first turbo ****PICTURES****
 

Good Job man, did you do the welding? That looks pretty good for cast. and I'm quite tired of all the honda-techers myself too. Keep us posted

Re: noobers first turbo ****PICTURES****
 

got mine for $9 from bob cossells U PULL IT in peryopolis i have to post a pic of where i put it hold on

Re: noobers first turbo ****PICTURES****
 

looks decent, i wasnt too fond of my TE04H. good power down low, but falls on its face up top

Re: noobers first turbo ****PICTURES****
 

Excellent >:D

Re: noobers first turbo ****PICTURES****
 

PSI=DUDES :y

Re: noobers first turbo ****PICTURES****
 

how many psi if you fart in the boost gauge :8

Re: noobers first turbo ****PICTURES****
 

Im loving that old school boost gauge, just make sure you dont max it out.

Re: noobers first turbo ****PICTURES****
 

i think you are gonna have some problems with the drainage, and the turbo will also hit a stock crossmember if its an EF.

you can see how high i have to cut the manifolds and even angle the flange, and the CHRA a little bit to get the drainback to enter right around the oil pan's baffle. might hafta do that one over.

Re: noobers first turbo ****PICTURES****
 

two more pics, motor is leaning forward alot on the bench so its not quite as bad as it looks. about a 30 degree drain angle in the car.

Re: noobers first turbo ****PICTURES****
 

I like how your manifold turned out, it's pretty clean, but I think splittime + everyone who posted after him is right about clearance problems. Turbos almost hang too low with HF manifolds, which it was pointed out would raise your turbo up a bit.

BTW, I have a Volvo boost gauge... no graduations, it's just colored shwoopies that go from green and into red the higher the needle goes. It's supposed to max out, I guess, somewhere in the 15 psi range. You don't need precise numbers if you've tuned the ECU, you just need to know the needle's staying about where it always does. *shrug*

Re: noobers first turbo ****PICTURES****
 

hey thanks mike that looks good. would you mind giving me a measurement so i can redo it? maybe measure from those heat shield mounting holes or something??? THANK YOU KIND SIR

Re: noobers first turbo ****PICTURES****
 

well guys thanks to mike's picture and a little math i cut apart the mani and rewelded it using a mockup motor yayyyyyyyyyalso decided to notch the block and mount the turbo theopposite way from which you guys do it because the stupid stock exhaust housing will actually work. anyways here ya go......

thanks a lot for the advice and help

Re: noobers first turbo ****PICTURES****
 

Yes! Looks much better. And I'd have to agree, that gauge is the shizzy! :y HomeMadeTurbo 100%

Re: noobers first turbo ****PICTURES****
 

Just a silly idea here. But it could work out for you.

You see that heatshield mount between ports 2 and 3? And the turbine housings bracket with the big hole in it? Well, what about making a support bar to go between the two? It might help prevent any welds breaking. But then again, depending on your clearance, you might have to grind off that turbine bracket.

Just a thought.

EDIT *** disreguard. I just reread your post and you decided to mount the turbo with the flange towards the block. Correct me if I misread that.***

Re: noobers first turbo ****PICTURES****
 

ah yes but there are mounting points on the back too which i was planning to make braces for. thanks dudes
