T25 flange conversion to TAIL V-band spool piece  made in stainless

once welding was done i milled the surface of the T25 as as i see it the major part to haunt me is a non sealing surface and has been the main issue in the past! 

 

using a knackered Tail housing, enabled me to align the turbo with spool piece and 3" down pipe to marry up with milltek exhaust positioning using the old engine on the welding bench 

 

not a lot of room or room for error ! its tight

Very nice Nigel.

turbo porn  

after lots of discussions with what we wanted to achieve of having as early a spool as possible with good power,  Mr Bentley worked with owen's come up with a GT28-65 HTA with a TAIL housing cannibalising my old turbo in the process which worked out very favourable! so we see how that pans out!

fitting is tight as the turbo sits low using a spool piece and thus marrying up with the existing exhaust means the bends are tight, using v-band gives some movement for play with to get a good clean fit.

once happy with the positioning send it away for coating

using my old dump valve  re-circ it back to the turbo

Did you decide to go for a full cc rad rather than that small tms one?

Looking good with plenty of off the wall thinking, surprising how you've managed to fit the CC and air filter in the right ear

 

Though I can see one little thing that might improved gas flow a bit - the start of the down pipe could have had a longer horizontal neck and a wider radius bend.

kept the small rad for now! quietly confident it will be up to the job! if not ill change, the EMU will flag up the temps when it gets to that stage.

Time for Matt to knock his self out with the Emu! looks a nice unit and excited to see how it preforms ultimately 

[iram]

 

all  coated up now and plumed everything fitted a treat  and next is the detail and electrics! time will tell if the calculations and spec is reached, goal is a shake down at the nationals.

clam on after initial dino runs to see if every thing is working!  

idle rpm, idle on the move rpm, low end ,mid range with no wastegate control  just using the spring pressure ! everything is holding up well ,no leaks and good results so far! looking forward in adding all the features of the emu ecu into the mix! button installed ready!
