[pork]

Cleaned up all parts I've got lying about

Cleaned up very well considering how bad it was

Also what do you think about this crack?

Repair or replace?

 

[karlj]

That crack should weld up nicely

 

[frank]

that W/G seat is bad eh

 

[pork]

that W/G seat is bad eh

Wot you reckon then? Sand blast it and weld it? Or chuck it?

dremmel the seat the best you can i suppose mate, i think any repair will crack again personally

Haha, I was just bout to right that!

Ok, il give it a go, get £50 rebuild kit, and see if I can get everything working together first, then maybe replace it or get another exhaust housing, like you said, before it turns into a money pit

it does,nt look like it needs a rebuild kit to me pork, just that shield if you can get one ? and that puck needs to make a good seal on the seat if you can eh

Really? Spose could give it a go. Have spent most of the day cleaning the parts up. Don't look to bad now

 

[pork]

Had quick go on dremmel, see what the crack is with the crack

Cleaned up a bit

Also got some if this........

.....so I can give this a try, any tips?

 

[Rob]

I wouldn't risk using that housing if it was mine to be honest.

 

[frank]

i always grind seats upside down pork, if any of that stuff works its way down to the guides and it,ll smoke/drink oil forever, i find a length of rubber tube that fits snug on the stem, and use a drill on slow speed

Sounds like a good idea, nicer on the palms too

its pretty bad eh ! its only gonna effect the boost levels tho eh

So you think it's ready for bin?

Il give it ago at repairing it either way,

I've asked about another housing from turbo rebuild, but none like mine, held on with big clip

 

[frank]

you could just weld it shut and fit an external screamer pipe pork my TD05 just opens to fresh-air look

How would i know when to stop grinding!

you,ll have a matt grey finish all around the seat and valve mate, get it near enough 100% coverage with the coarse, then finish off with the fine eh

Flipping hell Franky! hahaha

heh it does,nt open till 4700 eh, by that time the engine is going mental and you cant hear it blowoff anyway lol

 

[pork]

After much searching and phone calls, finally found out what car the turbo is from.......an old Nissan bluebird turbo.
Pretty cool
So correct rebuild kit on order

 

[pork]

Got this today

Shiny new heat shield too

Rebuilt core

Taped new holes for actuator

All built up

Started on valves too

 

[pork]

Also gunna have to source a new exhaust housing.

Not only us there mega crack..... I done this tryin to remove snapped studs

 

[Skinner_87]

I bet there was a "Ping" when those studs let go!

 

[Rob]

I had the same issue with my housing on the T3.

Heat the turbo up with a blow torch till its glowing, weld a nut to to the stud and try that.

If not BIG mule grips on the stud and blow torch

 

[pork]

Yep! And I went across the room.

Fool knows how il get the stud that's snapped deep inside the thread!

Probably have to drill it

 

[pork]

Done bit of work on manifold today

All welded up, crack too

 

[pork]

S**t jus got real!!

Skanky old head

 

[pork]

Test fitted the head today, jus to see what fits (or doesn't)

So how it sits on my bench

And in the car

Almost mates up with existing exhaust

Bit worried about how close the turbo is to the radiator

Also it's blocking off the radiator hose

Unsure of which way to go, move the rad, reposition turbo (hard option!!),

Could I jus get a heat shield for the turbo? Can I turn down the port from the top of the radiator 90 degrees with a new made up hose?

Critical moment now, and would appreciate any input whatsoever

 

[frank]

i would rotate the tubby personally pork, and alleviate both problems

Thing is if I jus rotate it its still be in same place in front off radiator. Other option is to make a new mani

Daaaang!!!

it,ll move the hotside away from the spout tho eh, then shift the rad forwards maybe ?

 

[pork]

Yeah, but then the exhaust outlet on the turno withe the downpipe will foul on the gearbox, Il have to have a better look tomorrow, hopefully when it's not peeing down. Was thinking off moving the rad to the other side, be a lot cheaper then buying/ making another mani,

 

[pork]

Done some more work on plenum today

Pilot tube

 

[wehey]

Is this the first time you have tried welding?

 

[pork]

Is this the first time you have tried welding?

Yeah, why does it show? Lol

 

[wehey]

Not at all. I am impressed. I would love to weld but haven't a clue. Maybe you have inspired me to just go get one and give it a go.
Are you using a mig? how did you find the learning curve. Think it is something anyone can learn??
Sorry for all the questions

Thanks

Yeah it's all with mig.

I jus jumped straight in. Should of done a couple of practice pieces first! It gets a lot easier with practice

All the plenum is made from mild steel, the thing I'm worried about is whether the welds will be air tight apparently your ment to go over it with oxy torch and melt everything together a bit better, or tig weld.

But I'm not to sure, I'm a complete novice, so if I can give it a go, anyone should be able too!

 

[pork]

Couple more pics, tapped plenum for vacuum lines, boost gauge, fuel regulator,float chambers and other vents
Starting to look pretty cool too in my eyes

 

[oranje]

One of the best DIY work pork! What turbocharger have you installed?
