Rotating the Exhaust Housing
 

Hey, I check the search for half an hour. And still cant find any info on rotating the Exhaust housing.

And also, do the oil outlet suppose to face downward facing the floor? So the oil will be gravity fed?

This is a T3/T04B turbo.

Re:Rotating the Exhaust Housing
 

the exhaust side of the turbo is solid all the way up to the inlet flange of the turbo so it doesn't rotate. The comp. side of the turbo rotates though...

and yeah, the oil outlet needs to be facing down as much as possible to drop the oil.

Re:Rotating the Exhaust Housing
 

what. last i checked i could turn my exhaust housing by loosening the bolts crack it loose with a hammer and spin it..

u have to be able to spin exhaust housing to get the oil outlets in the right spot.

Re:Rotating the Exhaust Housing
 

Maybe I'm thinking of it wrong ???

The mid section can rotate, but the exhaust side is solid. SO yeah, the mid section can rotate

Re:Rotating the Exhaust Housing
 

if the mid section spins pep, that means the exhaust part is separate ;D

Re:Rotating the Exhaust Housing
 

yeah the oil outlet is facing a 90 degree angle. Instead of oil outlet facing downward because it is gravity fed. So what now?

Re:Rotating the Exhaust Housing
 

undo the exhaust housing bolts. hit it with a hammer and spin it. u might have to reclock the cold side also.

Re:Rotating the Exhaust Housing
 

Does anybody know how to rotate the mid section for a TDO4L? The oil outlet is not facing down, its horizontal.

Re:Rotating the Exhaust Housing
 

unbolt the exhaust housing!! its prolly held on by a big ring. unbolt that and hit the exhaust housing with a hammer. dont let it hit the floor

Re:Rotating the Exhaust Housing
 

I gotta go to homedepot in the morning to take off the compressor housing so I can rotate it on the TE04H I'm working on but yeah even on this thing the exhaust housing is rotatable :P

we're going to overcome the horrendous exhaust outlet flange orientation by tossing it in the trash and fabbing up my own so we can fab up a custom steel outlet that'll point right down so we can retain the a/c with this turbo and the HF manifold :D

like I said though...the exhaust housing on this one doesn't loosen with bolts but I can take a picture of it all torn apart so people can point out better what they're trying to get across to you if needed....but my digital camera sucks haha

Re:Rotating the Exhaust Housing
 

The bolt has very limited space for me to use a socket to loosen it. What tools do you guys suggest for me to unbolt it with?

Re:Rotating the Exhaust Housing
 

only the intake side rotates...

Re:Rotating the Exhaust Housing
 

hahaha... i heard both side of the story!! Who can i believe? Did i mention this is a T3/T04B turbo? ;D

And there seems to be bolts on the exhaust housing. So once i loosen the bolts. I can rotate it? Does it matter which direction i turn the exhaust housing? ClockWise or Counter Clockwise?

Maybe this picture can clear things up.
Whatever you guys seeing at the bottom picture is exactly what i am looking at.

anyone?

If i can not rotate the exhaust housing. Then how can i make the oil outlet face downward? It's impossible. The only way is to rotate the exhaust housing because the oil outlet is on the exhaust housing.

Bump*

bump

Re:Rotating the Exhaust Housing
 

Jesus that's a big turbo! :o

Loosen up ALL of the bolts in the middle. All of them on each side. Then rotate the inside and tighten the bolts back up.

This turbo going to be on my JDM B16a. ;D

Re:Rotating the Exhaust Housing
 

open ended wrench and some dirty words.

Re:Rotating the Exhaust Housing
 

i have a t3/t04e so i think it's the same... if you loosen all the bolts on the compressor housing you can remove the compressor and turn it in the way you would want it to face. and for the turbine housing just do the same thing you did when rotating the compressor housing. just rotate everything till you get then the way you want them to face.
how do you guys post pictures. so i can show you guys my turbo. :)

First you click on reply. Then you see all these pictures. Click on a picture that looks similar to this one. https://www.homemadeturbo.com/forum/YaBBImages/img.gif And between [ img]http://post your picture link address here[ /img]

Re:Rotating the Exhaust Housing
 

What bolt size is the bolt?

Re:Rotating the Exhaust Housing
 

ok
i got thr bolts loose and hit the mid section wit the hammer
but it's not moving
am i doing something wrong

???????

Re:Rotating the Exhaust Housing
 

Some times you have to give it a rather healthy tap! I have also taken the compressor housing and the exhaust elbow off and tapped on the CHRA to get it loosened up. ALso when disassembling a turbo, lubricant is your friend!

Re:Rotating the Exhaust Housing
 

ok:D
and does it go both ways or do i have
to turn it to the left or right
( towards the shy or ground when rotating)

thanx

Re:Rotating the Exhaust Housing
 

oh, we see how it is marcus, you only come on here when you need somethin, your too good to just stop in chill with us ;)

Re:Rotating the Exhaust Housing
 

;D
whateva man. im on here all the time.reading but not always posting ;)
i like to sit back and observe from time to time.
but im having trouble rotating this midsection. did youhave any problems???

im bout to buy my oil ines today or tomorrow after the guy emails me back and the piping for the intercooler by the end on the month. still seraching around for hte best price plus im bou tot move ina new APT;)

Re:Rotating the Exhaust Housing
 

i hear you man, it took me about 3 mos. of searching (and waiting) before i had a complete kit. na, i dind't have any problems rotating the housing on it (because i never tried ;) ) it was pretty rusted before i got it sandblasted though, so you'll prolly have to give it a pretty solid bang, i don't think you'll hurt it ;). be sure to take a lot of pics when you finally get around to the install.


*disclaimer* i am in no way liable if marcus breaks his turbo.

Re:Rotating the Exhaust Housing
 

lol...i se how you goin'

trust me there will bee plentyof pics when im done.
i think ima put some wd40 on it let it sit then give it
another shot
and if for some reason i do break it it will be on bay very shortly after;)
