Turbo box pictures
Turbo Mini Forums

yeh, i did as adam did, just cut the angle as large as possible then welded a suitable bit of steel in. looks like there will be plety of room, only irony is that ive no iintention of it ever seeing a t3 so it was pprobably a waste of time! lol!

And on the 7th day........... God created turbochargers!

i'm pretty sure the avonbar box allready comes seam weled

i have an avonbar ultimate steady, the one that bolts to the water pump, will i still be able ti use that as it looks like the mount has been cut away for the box, also will the actuator foul the steady?

i think its a case of having to make up your own mounting brackets for the ultimate steadys dude. i know ive had to for mine as your right they do get cut out.

im sure TD has said this a million times but weld the bulkhead bit of the steady to the bulkhead! as you wil remove the mounting holes for it.

im guessing im the only one who cant see those pics but i think i understand whats goin on, i was wondering how hard it is to make a box yourself, i have all the equiptment to make it but i dont know what shape or how big ect.

Here is mine. I didn't know about putting the RH plate in at an angle hence how I did mine. Will have to see when the engine goes in how much room there is. I have left it big so you can see the detail.


Edit- Bugger try again

Tom, id get that plate in now or you'll be very annoyed later on! trust me!! The air pipe is very tight just there as it is although if your going for a front rad you may be ok thinking about it but still not sure, better to have too much space than too little

here's mine...

Iain sure seems to be taking his sweet time on fixing these pics LOL!

Well, here is mine that I did over a decade ago...

Not that I fabricated up an additional mount for the 'ultimate' engine steady; which was then welded to the cross-member. Very, very strong.

Dave or anyone else,

I think I am going to give it a go at fabricating my own. From reading through some old posts and cruising the web I have gathered that it should be about 37cm wide by 5cm deep by 16cm high. Sound about right?

Matt

Anyone else?

Now then - if you are serious about making your own - then user 'BROCKY' had a good idea when he made his. He made it a little deeper than normal, and also made the bottom surface at an angle so rainwater and whatever wouldn't sit on the surface.

Are you LHD or RHD?

this is mine, iirc it was tave that emailed me on another site about 5 years ago saying to modify the box for the actuator

theres that evil looking wok again, like the boiler in home alone!
