Well yeah, his name is FEDDC on H-T and he does great work.

I'm still talking with him on a daily basis, and yes, he's going to build my manifold for me(log), but we are just waiting to see what happens with this turbo. Since it's a Chrysler one, the flange isn't a standard T3 flange. 3 bolts are standard but theres one odd-ball. So we're just holding off on the construction of it to see if I'm even going to use this thing! I might just save it for a SOHC motor instead of using it on my B.

Keep in mind... this tiny turbo will spool almost immediately(like 2-2.5K) and will die out REAL quick- before this B16 starts making any power...

I'm starting to think about a Super 60.... or around that size...
 
I fixed the majority of it. It doesnt vibrate unless I turn hard RIGHT.

Huh, I've rescanned the posts & just don't see it. Now that I've adusted the camber, I only get the shaking in a hard left. FYI.

Also, LMFAO about this:

If the turbo really spools up that quick, it might not even be worth much on a SOHC. Sorry to say, but junkyard gold maybe turned into a mass of inter grown, striated pyrite crystals....
 
Well, it's just the size of it.... it's just a little too small for what I want it for. it'd be perfect for a grocery getter B16
 
dude whatever you do you are going to have a fast dd.

and the fact that its a turbo for 20 something dollars is gold those things are like 120 now brand new. for 7 psi
 
You don't want that wierd Chrysler-flanged turbo, you'll have to build a manifold with a flange that no one uses. Plus it will need a complete rebuild which will be more than it's worth. Sell that shit and go back to the junkyard, there's gotta be something better than that.

What are you doin with the old D?

There's all sorts of stuff out there.. Lots of Volvo's and whatnot.

I agree though, if you think it's too small Andrew, then get a bigger one.

That works with other things aside from turbo's too :ph34r::eek:
 
haha....

I think I'm gonna keep shopping around for something else. I wanna keep it simple and internally WG'ed if I can... so I'll do some more research and look out there at the junkyard and see whats up

I can actually return it, too :p

wish I lived near there, our similar "pic-a-part" has no returns :(
 
Yeah... so my cell phone died yesterday and I had to buy a new one(like $180) so I'm kinda on hold here for a bit.

when I get home I might assemble the turbo and get it ready to take back out there.
I was having a big problem getting the common shaft and turbine side off, so I would have to take it to a shop and get it pressed out, since our press here at school is kinda chanky/wobbly and we didn't wanna bend the shaft...

I think it's WAYY more trouble than it's worth.
I'll take it back today this weekend. probably Sunday.
 
cell phone shit sucks. We rely on them so much and then they break and its a lot of money.

But I definately agree, if its too small for what you want it for, then rebuilding it for no reason is way more trouble than its worth.
 
Exactly.

I thought about keeping it for a SOHC motor... but.... why? I can use the money for what I need right now. and can always just go back to the junker and pick one up.
 
Your making me want to look into spinny thingy's now... Must resist....
