The time has come...

I am getting ready to put the turbo in. for now i plan on just getting it in, and then i will run all the charge pipes later on.

1) what typr, and size oil fittings do i need to buy, and how about how much am i looking to spend? Where can i get the stuff from?

2) where can i buy tubing to make the manifold? How much would i bee looking to spend?

3) is it ok to just get the turbo in, oil plumbed, down pipe attatched.. and run it like that without the charge pipes for a lil while? I think it would be ok, but its always good to double check

4) and most important.. How the HELL can i cut this design out?!?

thanks! im so close now

p.s. i finally learned how to resize!

burns stainless sells pipes, or you can go to a local muffler shop.

as thick as that metal is i would guess a plasma torch or a milling machine.

DO NOT RUN THE TUCBO WITHOUT THE CHARGE PIPES it will spin to stupidinfintiy and blow itself up

yes. i wouldnt use home stuff though, as they are for low pressure and not-that-high temp.

 

[lude68]

you can..but its not that easy...trust me..i tried and ended up calling turbo-performanc.com and buying some fittings directly from them!

 

[rudeludenotmeanthough]

<_< well what can i do.. i dont have money to hand over, with the exception, of pocket change.. lol

 

[lude68]

lol..understandable...exactly what kind of turbo do you have?...and there full kit is 75 bux...thats getting oil in AND out of the turbo and back to the pan! OH and theyll prolly work w/ you a lil if you call them!

 

[rudeludenotmeanthough]

thats true...

its an RHB5 out of a mazda 626

 

[K2e2vin]

i think almost every automotive part is overpriced. like aebs selling hose clamps for like $50, when you can get some "generic" ones from hardware store for about $1 each.

 

[rudeludenotmeanthough]

would it be ok to buy the generic parts? the only problem i forsee is the parts breaking.. but if i get Quality generic parts... shouldnt the withstand the heat and pressure?

 

[lude68]

Yea...but some fittings you cant just buy at the hardware store...thats why i had to call them...but for lines and stuff..yea..you should be able too...my best advice...just dont start buying shit....get some prices and the make sure all of the sizes are the same before you start buying hoses..clamps..fittings...all that BS!

 

[rudeludenotmeanthough]

ok so what sizes? so i can start loking
