scott87 Posted January 18, 2014 Author Share Posted January 18, 2014 Made a start on the conversion today. Chopped the sections of the car where the intercooler piping is going, fitted the fmic and fitted the induction kit. Had to fit this as non turbo setup as drilling the oil pan didnt happen today and need to use the car until it does. Came along nicely and should be converted very soon. Some pics to keep you all happy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scott87 Posted January 18, 2014 Author Share Posted January 18, 2014 Also par access obviously, will there be any effect on the efficiency of the cooling system by having the expansion bottle lower down? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scott87 Posted January 18, 2014 Author Share Posted January 18, 2014 Also with the mini cam breather. Should I attach it directly to the plastic bit on the cam or to the hose and tuck it away? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scott87 Posted January 24, 2014 Author Share Posted January 24, 2014 This is how far i got today. Just need to plumb in the intercooler and attach the boost line to the wastegate and fit the airfilter now. Seem to have a very high idle though and it is a bit lumpy on idle. Hoping this will calm down once it is complete! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattdavies Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 Looking good, sorry haven't got round to sorting the brakes, haven't been to my mums as been really busy. Will do it as soon as I get a chance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will do it as soon as I get a chance No worries dude Just as soon as you can would be ace as i'd like to get a full 4 swap done and 'tart' up the ones you have off the car before fitting so i have nice new functioning brakes for being turbo..

scott87 Posted January 25, 2014 Author Share Posted January 25, 2014 Managed to work on the car again today. Have got everything done. The intercooler is all pipes up and the turbo is secure, one bolt is a nightmare to get too so im hoping its tight enough. Can't fit the filter past the dizzy cap so looks like i will be mapping filter'less so will have to secore a gauze or something similar over the turbo for safety. Started the car and the erratic idle has gone however the car is still idling pretty high. Hoping that this can be sorted when Lyndon maps it. The intercooler piping sits quite low on the passenger side so i will also have to look at changing this soon if it causes me issues, however i have manage to fit all of the undertrays which should give me some protection. (The second to last pic, the undertray isnt secured further back the car, it is the bit to the right that is low, i ran out of zip ties to secure the bit further back. Plan for later if it stops hailing!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

abtin90 Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 Looking good. For now you can always use some fine mesh and a clamp to protect anything getting into the turbo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dazzi Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 You need to clock the turbo core more, the turbo will starve of oil on an angle like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scott87 Posted January 26, 2014 Author Share Posted January 26, 2014 You need to clock the turbo core more, the turbo will starve of oil on an angle like that. I need to what? It looks the same as all other turbos? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scott87 Posted January 26, 2014 Author Share Posted January 26, 2014 Anyone elaborate? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dazzi Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 Your oil feed is almost at a 45 degree angle. The hot oil will not be able to drain properly. It needs to be straight up or very close. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scott87 Posted January 26, 2014 Author Share Posted January 26, 2014 It's a fair few degrees over from being on the top. Any more and the outlet will literally be touching the strut mount area. It is slightly more angles now. But there is no way it can be angled any more to the right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dazzi Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 You can turn the turbo core by loosening the turbine and compressor housing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scott87 Posted January 26, 2014 Author Share Posted January 26, 2014 It was fine on the car it can from. http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/attachment.php?attachmentid=177851&stc=1&d=1385867879 I can't turn the housing more. Any more and the outlet will face the strut mount directly. Twisting the other way would make the inlet more vertical. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich.2211 Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 What Dazzi means Scott is that you can rotate the very center off the turbo whilst leaving both the exhaust housing and compressor housing in exactly the same place. To do this you slacken the four bolts going into the exhaust housing (thin 12mm spanner IIRC) and also the bolts going into the compressor housing and rotate the center whilst both the exhaust and compressor housing stay in the same place - this will bring the oil feed/return closer to vertical. The oil return fitting will be closer to the manifold but it's fine. I managed to get it to about 10-15 degrees off vertical using the above method and it was spot on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scott87 Posted January 27, 2014 Author Share Posted January 27, 2014 Ok thanks It looks more angled I the pics and is actually closer to what rich has just posted. I'll post a new pic. That is the best angle I can get the turbo on tbh because of the fittings. I will get someone to look at it and see what they think and I'll post up another pic too. The oils feed is pressurised though and my outlet is very nearly pointing straight down. Can't see how it would cause a problem. But open to a technical response to explain Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
