Stock b3 manifold with t25 flange and a garrett 2552 turbo. My redneck skills at work....please do comment.

[htchbck]

Whoa!!! I'm not a turbo guy personally, but looks pretty cool! Good work!

[Rocketman]

Turbo looks awful low - does it drain? Nice work on the re-flange.

One day I hope to make purpose made turbo manifolds for the B3

[htchbck]

If I ever did one it would probably be with an Aspire manifold... I see the tubular types like that a lot on Miatas. Don't know if its better that way or not, but it should make it sit higher at least

[Safety Guy]

Isn't that a rather LARGE turbo for a B3? Looks cool.

why is important for the turbo to sit high?
Does it need to be above the oil line in the pan to 'drain' and have good flow?

[Ford Fester]

Yeah. The only way the turbo can drain is gravity. 90 degree bends don't help either. Ihave positioned the center cartridge housing so it is pointed directly at the pan and have a 45 degree fitting with -6 line for drain. I am using -4 for feed with a .90 restrictor.

Yeah, the oil drain works on gravity, you need a clear shot to the oil pan. Otherwise the oil backs up into the turbo and starts pissing past the seals

rednecks in south dakota, got to watch those characters.... Looks like you got a nice start to a build.

Dude, you are cool. I am happy with my music skills and I wouldn't trade them, but I would sure like to have a small percentage of the talents of so many on this board.

[neanderpaul]

Wait a minute... they make rednecks in SD? I thought the south had the market cornered on rednecks!! :lol:

I really have no skills . Im just a certified parts replacer for caterpillar that can weld.

Easy on the south there.... We ain't got no rednecks round here! We's all highly edjumacated!

[JoDan]

There are still rednecks up north, we just are a more higher end redneck... (ha, since were north... play on words lol)
