MKG's Custom Single Turbo Build

MyKindaGuise

We have some little stuff like fuel pump upgrade is done, removed the window washer fluid tank, moved the power steering fluid tank and ran new hoses. Not much got done last weekend either as we had another Z stop by for some mods. Other than that though its been mostly just Boosted Mx5 doing some welding.


I added two picks. The one we were just testing turbo placement t and mounting and seeing what space and clearances we had. Its not in its final resting position but its close. Also this is with almost everything tucked now. Mind the hoses that's just temporary you won't see them when its done.

I thought I could resist helping with this (since others seem to think I don't know what I am talking about)....but I can't.... as this is a huge fundamental flaw.


When you merge two banks together like this, you MUST use an exhaust flex coupler on one of the sides. Because (in this case) everything is rigid there is no room left for expansion/contraction due to heat cycling. Without a flex pipe the welds will crack no matter how good of a welder you are. The pressure in the exhaust pipes before the turbo in this case will be 2.5-3 times the boost pressure as well, that won't help things either.


Also, if you take my advice (and I hope you do), use the Vibrant turbo flex couplers (or simmilar). Do not use the flex couplers that have braiding on the inside. The coupler must be bellowed on the inside.

If the manifold/merge is not complete yet, and you do plan on doing the above...sorry, please ignore it.

Also, if yo are doing wastegate recirculation, same thing...install a flex coupler between the wastegate outlet and the down pipe. Same reaso as above.

Yeah I thought Cody ordered everything at once but he missed my order for the flex pipe and such. So I figured I'll just mock everything up then insert the flex pipe when I get it.

Too many parts
