DBSharp's Turbo Fabrication thread.

So the knock went from mild to WILD! Motor is coming apart in the next week hopefully. I am interested in what part was knocking for a year, cause Its acting more like a spun bearing now.

lol. To get my car the last 1/4 mile home the other day, I had to see boost just to make the car go anywhere. The motor was wanting to lock up bad. It was funny as hell to hear my turbo spooling and the engine screaming and knocking all at the same time.

I don't think this block is going to be reusable. Fuck it! I got a spare block and head. I'll probably get a new turbo to.

Dam Danny.....good luck with the rebuild bro, give me a call when you get a chance.

manifold looks sick bro, i wish i got a welder.

CD-5???

LOVIN the Mig poop mani!!! Lovin the Holset love too... Looks good man!!!! :O)

yea, I am pretty sure its the hotside oil seal. It only leaks when I come off the throttle after spinning the turbo hard. I think that the exhaust pressure is keeping the oil in the turbo while I'm on the throttle. It does not leak when I don't spool the turbo no matter what the rpm or oil pressure is.

Sounds more like piston ringlands dude... sucky. Compression leakdown??? My bet is the landfs are blown out.

[WilliamW]

if the ring lands were blown out, I would be really surprised if the car still ran at all. All four of mine blew out and the car died, deader than dead.

Smoke happend the first time the turbo spun up motor had good compression. I actualy used a stick welder on most of the manifold. A buddy of mine said he would go over all my welds with his tig to make it look good, but I got it back and he had just miged up a couple places and filled in a couple of low spots. but what ever the manifold worked great!

[dbsharp]

Ok I just bought a re-manufactured he341, which is what my turbo actually is. It is very similar to the hy-35 type d turbo. I have all most every part I need to rebuild my motor and put the car back together. It might get done soon. I really wanna tune it on a dyno, well see.

what size piping did you use for your ram horn? also what material is it?

is your down pipe the same material as your ram horn?

and your down pipe is 3" it looks huge

I used 1.5" schedule 40 mild steel for the manifold. It matches the exhaust port very well when the pipe is squished in a vice, which is not easy to do at all...

down pipe is just regular 3" exhaust pipe.

i must say it looks sexy

yea I welding on the manifold and I....

















JIZZED IN MY PANTS!

[dbsharp]

should get my parts from the machine shop early next week and could have this running again in two weeks.
