new turbo

[Dogo]

finally its done. I've got my vf12/vj20 hybrid finished and ready to go onto the car.

all it needs now are some new intake pipes.

a few pics :

the vf12 arrived

With this and a wolf3d sitting in its box waiting to go on, I'm looking forward to seeing a dyno soon

oooooooooooh shiney that will give u a fair bit of zoom :P

[323_mazdabator]

how much did the vf12 cost you? how much did the swap over cost you?

[BigMal]

Can you take a pick of the new exhaust end so can see the wastegate flap and
turbine. I can see a bit or porting round the wastegate did you add the flap from
the VF12 and have the hole enlarged to suit. Good to see is all done
Have to get Jynx to take some picks of mine while its off the car as I am very proud
of mine.

[Dogo]

i believe the vf12 flap has been welded onto the vj20 arm and the hole ported larger to suit.
i havnt got a pic of the vj20 exhaust before it was modified to compare against the changes. but will look.

Looks good. I've got the complete VF12 Turbo with 20R housing and custom Subi Dump on mine. It goes really well and is not that laggy. Yours should have even less lag using the VF20 exhaust housing.

You'll have fun

now I face the problem of getting the intake piping fit without hitting the g'box

quicksilver, does your snout & inlet pipe come close to the gearbox ? is that 3" diameter ?

also, did you get the space from the compressor turbine to your snout ported into a funnel shape or keep the flat surface?

[QuicKSilveR]

Its just a flat surface for now.......time withstraints. I will take the compressor housing off and do this when i get all my gear HPC coated.

Its actually bigger than 3" snout. Its 80mm which fits perfect to the snout and 3" silicon still fits over.

No I have enough clearnace from the gearbox even with the turbo sitting lower due to the new flange welded on.

BUT I am using a B6T gearbox not a BP G-Series Box.

Could use that flexi gear Rob uses.

My new dump pipe is the problem, it goes right accross the front of the radiator hose inlet on the motor. Has not melted the hose yet with like 1mm clearance.

[Dogo]

hmmm HPC coating would be a good idea ... I wont be able to put it on the car for a while since I'm moving house soon so maybe I should get it done now. any idea how much just for the exhaust side and core?

do u think the funnel would make much difference ?

[Rupewrecht]

well i had my manifold, exhaust housing, and dump to cat done for about $400

[BigMal]

I Thought I would post up some pics of my VF12. Sorry taken at night with
my mobile I still haven't worked out night shots 100% will take some more in
the sun later. The turbo also needs another polish its started to go milky but
I just wanted to play with my mobile last night.

They were still working here but they must have been cached.

Probably too late for ya Dogo, but here's the setup off my car. Mobile phone pic, but it's the best I could do at the time.

[Dogo]

thanks,
sadly its still sitting it the box it arrived in.

I've been thinking of getting something like SFS Wire Reinforced hose


Mal the polishing looks awesome by the way I wouldnt mind doing that to mine too
