Just need to get some counterunk bolts and a big drill bit to make a countersunk.
Getting there...
Re: K14 K04 hybrid turbo build thread - Harky - 26-04-2012
Looks a neat job this.. That elbows off a k14 is it. Any chance it could be too restrictive coming large dia out of the turbo and then a sudden step to that. Not criticising btw, I have similar on my td04 just and I'm concerned that it might just be holding it back?
Re: K14 K04 hybrid turbo build thread - strictly_perv - 27-04-2012
I'm sure it is TBH with you, i'm like to try ground out the holes more so it will flow a bit better. I'll see how this one goes but I can always make a better one as its all just bolted on.
Re: K14 K04 hybrid turbo build thread - mark_airey - 27-04-2012
You don't need countersunk bolts, just drill a hole big enough for head of the bolts you have, weld around them and then grind off the excess flush

Yea I'm really thinking of making another for mine, it'll be the MK3 version! All bolted together, but I still have to take the turbo out to change it!

Or just weld the elbow on from the start and not bother with any of the bolts at all :p

this.
Re: K14 K04 hybrid turbo build thread - Dave - 27-04-2012
That does pose an access issue though! so make sure the elbow is removable somehow! In this case tho the elbow coulda been welded to the flange like how I did it before.
Re: K14 K04 hybrid turbo build thread - strictly_perv - 27-04-2012
I've already ordered some countersunk bolts so and I don't have a welder so I'd rather bolt them on Incase it needs adjustment which is likely
Re: K14 K04 hybrid turbo build thread - Dave - 27-04-2012
How have you set your angle??
Re: K14 K04 hybrid turbo build thread - strictly_perv - 27-04-2012
Angle of the down pipe? I've lined it up with the K14. All by eye so expecting fails :think:
Re: K14 K04 hybrid turbo build thread - Dave - 27-04-2012
Hm as long as you've lined it up with something so the downpipe is around the same as stock and not just dilled it anyold way... theres probably 15-20° of freedom on the flange.
Re: K14 K04 hybrid turbo build thread - strictly_perv - 27-04-2012
Yes it's as close as I could get it by eye to the same angle of the the k14. I'll be getting it all fitted upto the spare engine to be sure everything else lines up.
Re: K14 K04 hybrid turbo build thread - Dave - 27-04-2012
If you had something to ref. to next to it to make sure you have your up/down and correct length of elbow then should be fine, get 'er changed wanna see some boost!!!!
Re: K14 K04 hybrid turbo build thread - strictly_perv - 27-04-2012
I'm waitin on some bolts and drill bits first so won't be done till next week :violin:

Re: K14 K04 hybrid turbo build thread - strictly_perv - 28-04-2012
I now need to get hold of either a countersunk drill bit of a big drill bit :evil:
Will I need gaskets for this or can I just use gun gum?
Re: K14 K04 hybrid turbo build thread - darrenjlobb - 28-04-2012
Just use paste, be fine, especially as you haven't welded plates to make them warp to hell.

You just want a big drill so the bottom of the hole is as flat as you can so the bolt can sit against the face flat
Exhaust paste is fine, I used Bosal exhaust assembly paste stuff but meh, its all the same idea
Re: K14 K04 hybrid turbo build thread - darrenjlobb - 28-04-2012
Would have been alot easier to just drill / tap the holes and use studs or just do what me / mark did and weld / grind the suckers in.

Thats what he is doing AFAIK Darren, home made studs FTW
Re: K14 K04 hybrid turbo build thread - strictly_perv - 28-04-2012
The threaded hole method occurred to me just after I drilled the last hole
Re: K14 K04 hybrid turbo build thread - anto - 29-04-2012
Rather than using the 306 exhaust elbow could you not have made a better downpipe?
Ie Use the adaptor plate, drill the centre hole out to 3"/ 2.75"/ 2.5" and weld a bigger dia pipe to it and along with a flexi pipe you will have a decent flowing exhaust?
Re: K14 K04 hybrid turbo build thread - Dave - 29-04-2012
Trust me its alot more hassle that its worth to make a bigger downpipe, you need to get the same flange size anyway, and then your defeating the purpose...
Re: K14 K04 hybrid turbo build thread - Ruan - 29-04-2012
In fairness, the stock 306 DP is a bag of crap for flow, but doesn't make that much difference.

Thats what I mean though, in most applications where the downpipe isnt big enough causing restrictions the pump is failing anyway.... and usually if the turbos big your not getting smoke anyway, so no issue!

Not sure i understand about the flange size Dave?
Why mess about with different bolt patterns when you can weld directly to his new machined plate and have a decent size exhaust. Fair enough it isnt going to improve it drastically it just seems a "cleaner" way of doing it.
Re: K14 K04 hybrid turbo build thread - strictly_perv - 07-05-2012
I've been proper slack lately!
Just bought a 20mm drill bit to bore out the holes.

Just waiting on the post-man now
It will be on before FCS though!
