Supra ST Myster Posted September 23, 2006 Share Posted September 23, 2006 Received my new turbo, so just about ready for me to start work on my single... Just curious though, in the first pic, why is one of the blades marked? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeeT Posted September 23, 2006 Share Posted September 23, 2006 Nice one Emin, what turbo did you go with in the end? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soonto_HAS_soop Posted September 23, 2006 Share Posted September 23, 2006 Looks like a Super T70.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SimonB Posted September 23, 2006 Share Posted September 23, 2006 I think they mark them just to say they have been balanced, checked etc during assembly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terribleturner Posted September 23, 2006 Share Posted September 23, 2006 Good stuff, i always love new toys in the post You must have nearly everything to start the install havn't you now?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kranz Posted September 23, 2006 Share Posted September 23, 2006 The marked blade is for re-assembly after balancing. Possibly the parts have been balanced individually, then as a unit to get a correct final balance? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supra ST Myster Posted September 26, 2006 Author Share Posted September 26, 2006 For the time being i have gone for a T61 Just one thing, arnt the turbos suppose to have a nipple on them to connect to the wastegate, or can i use any vacum line for that.. Also the oil feed and return mounting positions, can they be horizontal rather than vertical (oil feed at the top and oil return at the bottom)? Reason i ask is that i have to turn the housing around so i can run a pipe to the intercooler, but at that position the oil flanges will be at the sides? As it will be mounted to the manifold like in pic 3. make sense? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can drill and tap the compressor housing to add a vac source Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supra ST Myster Posted September 26, 2006 Author Share Posted September 26, 2006 so just to make sure, the only bit i should be rotating is the silver housing in the pic? as the turbo is being mounted just like pic 3 as its mounted on the side and not the top, can i rotage the dark side housing aswell? can i use a vac line from the other side? or is it best to get it from the turbo?

Daston Posted September 26, 2006 Share Posted September 26, 2006 Is that the XS-Power T61 one as it looks identical to mine. If it is the same there is a weld spot on top of the compressor housing buy the oil feed that can be used for the WG vac. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supra ST Myster Posted September 26, 2006 Author Share Posted September 26, 2006 yes thats the one.. i will have a look in a min for that weld spot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeeT Posted September 26, 2006 Share Posted September 26, 2006 You can rotate any bits you like, just make sure that the drain is pointing straight down or as near as possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supradibbs Posted September 26, 2006 Share Posted September 26, 2006 the line can also be put on the intake to the cold side just as its as close to the turbo as poss Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Generally you can only easily rotate the compressor outlet - the silver die cast ally bit. It's called "clocking". The exhaust housing can be harder as the bolts will interfere with the centre cartridge if you clock it in certain places. By the look of it, though, you should easily be able to get that around 90deg. Get your oil drain as vertical as possible, as already mentioned by others. -Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supra ST Myster Posted October 2, 2006 Author Share Posted October 2, 2006 Well... I finished my install today, will post some pics up soon, very pleased that i did it all myself, although thanks goes out to Greg at Turbo Fit for some valuble advise, took it out for a spin tonight and the sound of the single and external wastegate is awsome!! At the moment just boosting around 0.8/0.9 as not touched the fueling yet, keep staring at it and thinking yeah i did that lol (sad git) the lag is pretty much the same as when i switch to ETTC and i used that most of the time, so see you at Japfest this weekend :d Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Homer Posted October 5, 2006 Share Posted October 5, 2006 Where did you get the intake pipe from? Were there any problems with clearance on the water elbow? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supra ST Myster Posted October 5, 2006 Author Share Posted October 5, 2006 i got the intake pipe from viper performance, i had to cut it down one side a bit though, regarding the water pipes it is very close to it, so after this weekend, i will be cutting the pipes off, then tapping them out and screwing a bolt in each hole, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeeT Posted October 5, 2006 Share Posted October 5, 2006 Where did you get the intake pipe from? Were there any problems with clearance on the water elbow? Darryl, Emins turbo is sitting higher than mine. If thats the case with yours then we can get over the waterneck problem easily enough Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
