T2 Exhaust Elbow
Turbo Mini Forums

To fit our T2 we have had to make a few bits, the exhaust elbow being one bit being made now.

The first bit to make the elbow has been to make a plate to fit onto the turbo:



Now I have the pattern I can get some more of the plates made no problem. They cost about £10 to £12 to manufacture if anybody is interested.

After that it is up to you, I will show you our finished artical when it is done.

i'll definately be interested in one ben, was only talking to a mate about making one of these earlier when we were on about fitting a T2 onto my car.

OK I'll see if I can organise getting some made up in the next couple of weeks.

what would be nice ben is a compleate fully made up plate & elbow ready to bolt on

peeps would pay for that

The problem is that the fitmant of a T2 on to a metro manifold using the 'Jimster/TD' adaptor plate is not an exact science. Meaning that any elbow that was made up wouldn't necessarily be a good fit.

I may be able to offer that once I have finished the one I am making and tested it for a bit to make sure it is up to the job. Until then it will be just the plate.

Yes please Ben

dont suppose this would fit a t25?

Yes its the same - however you may need to drill and tap an extra hole in your turbine housing.

It depends what its off and how many bolts they used origonly

There is also a variance in some of the T2 / T25 housings... One of the four 'supposedly standard' studs moves by 3mm or so.

And then you have the extra stud that some T2's and most T25's have...

i sure the t2 exhaust flange is different to the t25 as i went to a turbo shop when i was making my dump pipe as they had pre cut flanges and the t25 one didnt fit.

also why do you have 4 holes down one side? isnt there only three studs

This is what we have done with ours. It needs a bit of tidying, but you get the idea.

Looks very good Wil, whats the clearance like on the pot joint?.... The mirage jobby gets very close on mine

It's closer to the subframe than the potjoint, but easy 5mm from the joint.

Just wondering if there had been any more progress made on these bad ass's?

Is that a 1 litre block wil?

I will be getting some made in the near future. I will put a post when I am ready. Basically me and a mate are going to try and put a big order in (bits for his imp) to keep the cost down.

Yes it is a 998 block, I thought everybody knew that?

Cool, no rush or anything, I havent even got a T2 yet (getting a supposedly recently recon'd one off a reno 5 this weekend).

Gonna persevere with the T3 route, and basically keeping the T2 and adapters a spare bolt on replacement for the T3 when it goes wrong/I get bored.

"did you know you can toast potato waffles?"

Know its an old thread, but saw this on ebay:

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Turbo-Elbow-SR20det-...1QQcmdZViewItem

i know it might not fit a t2, especially in a mini, but its the elbows design that intrigued me.

looks like this elbow has a divider that intrudes into turbo housing to separate the wastegate gases from the turboine gases.....food for thought...

"Turbo's make torque, and torque makes fun"

"did you know you can toast potato waffles?"

It is definately a good idea to seperate the wastegate gasses and the turbine gasses and join the wastegate gasses later on.

Internal wastegates are a mass production compromise so if you can seperate the gasses it will help.

I've been using a simular downpipe, (all though custom made) for a few years, every little has got to help
