Turbo

Is this to big for my G13B? Planing on running low boost 0,5BAR.

Thanks:)

for a low boost setup i would not recomend it will lag like a bitch look at a t2 t25 or equivelent or ihi vf34 easy make 150-160whp with the right setup

steve

is the vf34 a tdo4

hi no vf34 is a ihi not a garret bigger than a tdo4 aswell

Dont muck around!!! Go for the TD04L IHI Turbo from the WRX.

These have proven results!!! awesome for low boost setups and are ok for 200BHP+ (wheels).

You can get them for 50-90pounds well worth the money.

what else do you need to do to the engin injecters? anythink else for a low boost ? im a newb wanting to learn about it because i want to do a turbo build soon thanks

for low boost you dont need injectors or an ecu andy/garndi does a chip for the stock ecu that will run fine 10-11psi on stock injectors youll make about 150whp on stock internals for more power a ecu and injectors are needed plus lots more when your ready to start buying stuff pm me or him or start a thread

steve

so for low boost really the most costy thing is the manfold? for the trubo ?

depnding on were you buy it form yes 200-£600

steve

do you know if any other manfolds from other cars will fit the swift ?

no one has found one yet

steve

I thought they made a Turbo swift?, maybe use the manifold from that? or was it a 3cyl engine?.

yes that was a 3cyl swift that they made a turbo version of called a firefly of chevy sprint us only none over here

steve
im sure ghandi will know of something when hes on

In reagards to the turbo manifold you can use a manifold from another 4 cylinder turbo and get a custom conversion plate made by ferriday engineering. Good for a budget build

Hi,

You can get frange laser cut for £40 with 10mm steel plate.
Buy weldin bends for £65.

If you can weld, you can make log type one for less than £150.

I'm making one for myself and I have all the parts.
I have been talking to DMWDave so I know what I need to do.

were did you get that flange from atchi cheapest i was quoted for a laser cut ss flange was £70 for 1 or £25 if i ordered 10

cheers steve

Hi Steve,

It is my local laser cut place.
They will cut from 8mm Stainless steel for that price.
If you want some, let me know. I made one for Dominator before.

Cheers
Atchi

yea will do mate i might have one next week i just bought a load of stuff off of ebay some will be for sale soon turbo stuff so pm if your intrested

steve

p.s why not buy a collector and make a equal lengh mani or is there no space in the mini

Hi Steve,

Yeah, no space what so ever!

You can see from this photo here.


I got TD04 and hoping to make one log style manifold to fit may be above gearbox.
I got an engine block ready for forced setup with Vitara pistons, o-ringed at Jerry's house.

What port size do you want with it 35mm or bigger?
If you want in mild steel, let me know. I got 1 spare.. oh I got 1 stainless spare also.

Cheers
Atchi

port size im just after stock im gonna guess thats 35mm i already got a td04 flange off of ebay in ss were did you get your pipeing/what size you going for do you have any td04 downpipe flanges aswell javascript:emoticonp('')

cheers steve

Hi Steve,

I do all of my CAD work myself and get it laser cut.
I have down pipe flange already but I made it too big so I might have to re-draw it again.
I'm not sure where to fit my turbo yet so I will make sealed log complete then I cut where I want to fit by cutting and welding a flange to it to the manifold.

I will check what bore I got as I made bore bigger to fit tube into it before.

Cheers
Atchi

hi all
what thicknes of steal would u use for manifold pipeing and what size would u make the log part of the manifold as well

cheers dan

Hi,

It is about 6mm thickness tube for a turbo manifold.
You have to remember any thinner than that, you will be getting cracks.
This is pm from DMWDave when I contacted him before!

Hi,
I have seen a log style manifold mounting turbo over gearbox,
I normally follow rule of thumb using whatever size exhaust port is for the tubeing size.But with a log style as each cylinder runner joins the main pipe it should step up in diameter,so you may start with a 11/4" at the water pump end but end up with a 13/4" at the turbo flange end,if if you dont step up then all your exhaust gas has to escape through a 11/4" pipe !!which may be restrictive.Step up from cylinder 3 to 11/2" then cyl 4 13/4",1&2 being 11/4".

If you make the manifold out of that thin wall exhaust tubeing it will crack,go to a a thickwall(4mm)either in mild steel or better still stainless,most places call them weldels,a good metal fabrication supplier will have them,they are 90 degree preformed bends available in 1/4" step up sizes.

This is the site you can buy it from .

Std wt will be fine for mild steel.
I haven't tried to make one with Stainless steel type.

Cheers
Atchi

wow a great site atchi just for anyone who is going to ask look below this is why i dident go ahaed witht the manifolds i couldent find the bends cheap enought it was like £12 and £14 a bend which when you think about 5 or 6 depending on design plus laser cutting plus time soon amounts up

11/4" diameter of pipe
sch 10 gauge of pipe
90 degrees the bend

cheers steve

hi

i like that site very helpfull info thanks all yet again i am going to start makin 1 will post pictures so u can see how i am getin on . there is 1 more thing what size is the log part of the manifold



funny enf this is swifty norfolk manifod i wanna make some thing like this
