Well, I think I finally got it. It's a little laggy off the line, about the same as the other turbo, but when it lites, it lites.....I put a 12.5# spring on it, so the lever doesnt even start to move until 15psi, and then it doesn't move very far. I'm seeing a little more than 30psi, which, I dont think is bad since i have no programmer. EGT's are back check. It runs a little hotter on acceleration, but cruising it is about 50* cooler and I cant get it over 1250* no matter how hard i try. I definitely like it more than the other. Now all I need is to add the on board air to make the exhaust brake work.

I have a few pics here to show how I adapted the turbo to the manifold without an adapter...

i like that!
Im not sure if i totally understand how you did it!

how did you close the existing holes in the turbo? (with what?)

btw its nice to see you can moachine the manifold to put a nut behind it

TRENDZ

I drilled the existing holes to accept a 1/4" pipe tap, threaded the housing, than used 1/4" pipe plugs (there's one laying on the housing in one of the pictures)to fill the holes. This allows you to re-drill and tap the housing to a standard t3 bolt pattern and install the studs.
Be very carefull when grinding the manifold. There is JUST enough material in that area for a standard 3/8" bolt(9/16" hex) No room to spare there, when I was finished, the wall thickness was only 1/8".

thanks! i see you have a 12v manifold, i wonder if the 24v manifold is worse?

how did you reclock the center section to the exhaust housing with the vanes on the nozzle indexing into the exhaust housing?

the internal female part turns in the houseing

Nice job!!!!

Number47

did you have to drill out the pins?

TRENDZ

Yes, the exhaust housing has a reciever ring for the vanes that rotates 360 degrees. The housing is clockable in any position. It is a bit tricky to get it together after taking it off and rotating it, but far from impossible.

I just pulled out the pins with a side cutter... very easy to do.

The pins just pulled out with a pair of pliers for me too, no grinding necessary and very easy. This was on my HE351CW though.

I had my 98 24v at the track yesterday.
here's a Video
It ran 8.87 1/8 mile

Its got jammer injectors and a juice box and HE351VE

Are you controlling the turbo or is it in a fixed position?
