Not sure that I would make another one out of stainless myself. Took too long to cut the flanges - it would be a lot quicker in mild steel. That was one of the reasons I avoided stainless, its easier to work mild steel.. In that case maybe the best is to go with mild steel and TIG. If only someone would knock off a few sets of flanges and sell them to us... website:- http://www.terryhunt.co.uk

Got the turbo mounted and finally was able to check the position, 5mm to spare --- bags of room. It could actually go a few mm nearer the block but too late now, maybe next version! Once it was in place I could start on the downpipe and it came out OK, the only problem is getting it in to position, with the flange and the bends its a bugger but can be done...eventually. I am using weld rings for the exhaust, these are a great help when fitting up as they make it real easy to align the pipes and once you start welding they give you something to weld into , keep the inside nice and smooth and should help with the sealing of the joint, well worth the few bucks they cost.

Do I spot a VNT there? No Its a standard GT1548 with T25 inlet flange, I picked it up brand new last year for a good price (under $500) On 28th of May, 2007 at 01:12pm iain said:
have you moved the engine forward at all (i.e. extended the engine steady?) Yes, Its maybe 1/2" forward... If I was to snug the turbo up to the block it may have just fitted but the extra always comes in useful. Terry website:- http://www.terryhunt.co.uk

Robert, with regard to the weld rings I've not found them for sale from any of the usual suspects in the UK so if you find some let me know.

Finally finished off all the little bits, actuator bracket, piping and all. Final check of the megajolt timing, its at 14 degrees but that can wait so turn the key... Started first time!! Wohoo ...sounds great, no obvious exhaust leaks, lambda showing around 14, bags of oil pressure. cranked it up to 2500 rpm for 15 mins to bed the cam and I call my mate to let him listen to it on the phone.

Are you going to heat proof the bulkhead ? Cheers Brocky I do have some sheets of heat shield and I may also wrap the manifold but was waiting for a while, we'll see... I want to see how this manifold holds up first. Terry website:- http://www.terryhunt.co.uk

Surprisingly it did, the main fire was on the downpipe so the flames just went up around the carb and melted the accelerator and choke cables a little bit, I checked under the scuttle fearing the worrst and nothing..,as you say Lucky man!! Well I drove it tonight... what a blast!! the local boyz dont know what the hell to make of the whining sounds, its great and I am already hooked on the boost... but lots of setting up to do now, its still pretty rich which is good cos its safe.. Only worry is that the water temp climbing when I am sitting at a light for a few mins, Rads not overflowing and I dont even know how accurate the gauge is yet.. website:- http://www.terryhunt.co.uk
