most of your welds look great! but the place that needs to be the best looks like bird poop

looks like someone was running out of gas, or the gas wasn't getting there, or it wasn't hot enough, or a combination of both.

 

[RedPhoenix]

haha... my mig has been having wire feed issues and when it does not feed right it looks like bird shit. Its out of site out of mind anyways lmao.

I cannot tell from pics ??
But is the w/g feed from one bank ??
If it is?? It's VERY hard to control boost ..

Sheesh you've given yourself some welding to do..

Not that I like the idea but some weld an outlet directly off the turbine housing...

Its has a Y to both banks right before the flange.

 

[4U2QUIK]

see, I knew you could weld better than that lol.

I actually prefer this in some instances and it works very well....needs to be done spot on though. You need the right TIG rods and you have to preheat the cast iron.

A mate running a 320rwkw 1JZ uses this setup on his Garrett (had no choice because of space). The car sees the drags, hillclimb and circuit and the welds have held up no dramas...in fact the only time this things moves pretty much it's copping a flogging

I've mig welded V band on 6ltr Chev S500 Borg Warner housing..
It's Brashers new burnout car... Not much room under a Corolla bonnet..

I just dont think I want to kill the turbo as of yet, lol... you think its good where it is now?

 

[XR8tt]

Good where it is...

Its been awhile - Super busy... but stuff it starting to come together.

I got my -12an fitting welded to my oil pan, resealed that. A new-to-me 89+ subframe + poly mounts was installed. Feramic 6 puck solid disk + 2100lbs pressure plate on a steel flywheel was put on. I heat wrapped the manifolds (this sucks since it never wants to lay flat on a non flat surface) but I did my best. Still need to get SS ties for the driver side. Buttoned the W58 up (for the time being while my R154 gets built). Welded a 3.5" (from 4") vband onto the turbo and chamfered the leading edge to the flange. This gives me more room to work with. Using 94-95 Camry COPs with Bosch 211 controllers for the MS3x... Just awaiting some exhaust nuts and I can test fit the real engine in... should be no issue (except maybe the steering linkage... but we shall see).

Enjoy the slew of pictures... no particular order...

 

[XR8tt]

GOOD stuff...
WHY is it when you think.. I must weld real good here because it needs it and can be seen !!!...
Only to weld the worst weld done on whole project..
Yes I have wire speed issues too.. Pita.. Every time you start the wire speed is different...
Cops look good... Don't get to say that too often !!!

 

[poorsupra]

dude lovin the build!

 

[RedPhoenix]

Thanks guys.

I see what you are saying. Well we shall find out...

 

[stevechumo]

That turbo will make some serious power. I like looking at the turbo on the 1UZFE.

Alright, so my buddy sent over a pic of my modified oil filter housing.. basically machined it down to the base and welded 2 -10an fittings to it... First set in my oil system...

so what are you going to do for the actual filter adapter? did you buy one or modify the other end of the filter bracket to work in a remote spot?

 

[BlackUZZ31]

do those COP units seal properly to the cam cover?

 

[RedPhoenix]

they seem to seal just fine... but I will have to double check

 

[RedPhoenix]

Almost no effort to put the engine in... that was a great feeling!














I wanted to test fit and get everything good in the car before I paint the engine bay. Last thing I want to do is weld all holes shut and need to drill new ones.. or have to hammer the firewall or something... Enjoy for now... more to come

filter adaptor

Hi guys
I have noticed the occasional mention about filter adaptors and have managed to find a couple of old pictures of the last run that I did for the guys at SSS marine here in Christchurch. They sell them on www.trademe.co.nz
I make 2 different types one points the filter to the front of the motor (both pictures) and the other out to the side..(called a 45 degree adaptor)

Cheers Craig Young

 

[RedPhoenix]

nice but make your own thread...

Started to build my downpipe. I am really proud of how this is looking. Its all SS304 3.5" tubing, pie cut bends. This will eventually be heading towards the bumper.... but enjoy for now
