Drydecking options
Turbo Mini Forums

I have not calculated in space for a drydecking kit.
Only 68 mm between blok and turbo on the side.

Would it be an option to find a 90 degree outlet and 90 degree inlet with a piece of silicone hose in between? Or is there such a kit or would this be to restrictive?

you can do anything if you set your mind to it...

Wouldn’t be an issue. That’s what I have, at the other end though.

Know any machinists?

Yes I did, I made a pair for the dry deck fittings and one for the cylinder head water outlet. Also made an oil return and breather block for the rear of the engine.
Made the first set out of Delrin but then decided to machine some in alloy.

Did you make that from a single billet?

Shane

Excellent, I love stuff like that. Looks really good

Rammie, is there sufficient material on the normal dry deck kits for you to cut the ends at 45 degrees, then weld on a piece of tube that’s been mitred with a bead roll on the other end to retain the hose?
This would turn your hose fitting by 90 degrees and allow you to use the 180 degree hose and keep close proximity to the block and deck?

shane that is some cool stuff you made!!!!! i know some mighty fine welders but none with the tools to make that.

i indeed had that idea more or less. Someone is coming over tonight to take some measurements and see if he can weld that in alu.

What bore of pipe is everyone using and did the kitcome with a guidefor where to drill?

I take it thatthe block side just bolts in or tap n die out again?

I use a 28mm ID hose on my kits.
