looks pretty good, I cant wait to see it finished.

[imported_germ]

where is your wastegate?


dont take this the wrong way or anything, but i would SERIOUSLY reconsider your welds. when i did my first welding with my welder it looked very similar and i grinded down the welds to make them look pretty.


lets just say, 2 months later i was having them redone because they cracked and welded by someone else. i just tacked them all together and took them to someone with a better welder. no problems since.

its all internal. You can see there is a seperate passage where it exits through the regular housing. it just bypasses the wheel. its not the best but it will do for now.

well my wleds should be fine since i put some holes through my pipes. lol most of it is patching my mess up. if they don't hold then ill just have to r edo it. im not really concerned with looks right now. i would like to go stainless but i need this to work before i go spending all kinds of money on it. you know what i mean.

You crazy bastard! You're always 1 step in front of me. I'm going to the track sometime this week weather pending to get some better times. This week my welder comes (friday) and I have my stuff all laid out on paper, now to make it work.

What size turbo are you using? I'm going with a Mitsubishi TD-05H Large 16G turbo. It's in my garage all pretty with NO miles on it. Internally waste gated. I'm going to be getting the Tial 38mm Wastegate soon though for sound and ease to regulate boost.

I wouldnt' worry about your welds, by the time they break you'll be decent at welding and you'll have the money and time to do it the right way. My first welds were on a plow frame and it hasn't broken yet, i'm sure they will but not yet.

Did you butt weld all of your pipes together? Did you tac atleast on 3 sides before you laid beads? Are you sure you didn't get any wire on the inside of the pipe? If you did you might want to fix that before you run it, mainly because if that gets sucked or pushed into the turbo, Goodbye project. Thats how my down pipe is welded now, but i didn't do that. (figures right?)

Anyway have fun!

[Berettaspeed]

well thats cool you beat my time. good launching you have some nice 60ft times.

Im using a mitsu turbo as well, but mine came from a GMC Syclone.
TD06-17C-8cm2 550CFM
I could upgrade to a 20G wheel if i wanted and get up to 650CFM with the stock housings.

Well I'm curious to see how this turns out. Welding takes talent, I still suck pretty bad. Are you tig welding? (you cant weld stainless with mig) It kinda looks like mig to me with all the bubbles. Either way, hopefully it hold out fer ya, if not well then its a learning experience I guess.

And I'm not familiar with that turbo, some one care to explain what size A/R that compressor is?

[Froggx]

Mitsubishi sizes turbos differently than Garret does. I'd say the compressor wheel on that is in the neighborhood of a Garret T04e 50 trim.

[sharkey]

did you weld that with flux core mig or arc???

[Hybird]

I thought every turbo was classified by the A/R of the wheel. . Kinda like every engine is classified with how many cylinders it has.

[RacerX11]

There is more to a turbo than just the A/R. Just like engines have number of cylinders, bore, and stroke, turbos have several ways to define them.

For this turbo, TD06-17C-8cm2 , the TD06 refers to the housing size, 17C is the compressor wheel, and the 8cm2 is Mitsubishi's way of denoting A/R, which is roughly equal to a 0.57 A/R.

Here is a site that has lots of information about Mitsubishi turbos: http://www.stealth316.com/2-turboguide.htm Most of the information is geared for turbo upgrades on the 3000GT, so they don't talk much about these larger turbos, but still lots of good information, including compressor flow maps.

Nice job! Did you do any engine mods? How much boost ya gonna put thru the motor?

I wouldn't quote myself on this, but I think TD06 is in reference to the size of the turbine wheel rather than the housing.

[Berettaspeed]

yeah i have a MIG.

I'm using Flux core. NO GAS. so i have alot against me.lol

also an 80amp is kinda low. i was surprised i penetrated through 3/8" steel.

Well on friday my welder comes in...

Here's the one i bought

http://buy1.snapon.com/catalog/item.asp?search=true&item_ID=68574&PartNo=Mig115&group_id=1740&supersede=&store=snapon-store&tool=all

Here's an image for those who don't feel like clicking one.


I got a good deal on it NEW from my snap on dealer who is awesome. I bought my 2 top boxes on my tool box from him, he gave me a carhart jacket, socks, gloves, snow gloves, a mug, this cool light,

With the welder i got .030 welding wire for steel and another spool for stainless. I got the optional cart. and All on the snap on account. Everything came out to $750 for the welder. (sounds unbelieveable right) well he took my $4000 credit account, marked one of my boxes down $500 dollars and gave me 15% off of the welder. So it made it $750.

I think he likes me :-D lol...

Sorry to post this just felt like bragging

Gas costs $30 for an 80 cu-ft bottle
