Re: 4 hours of porting today, TU Header
Guys have been porting the inside of turbo housings both cold and hot side since before I even wrenched on my first turbo car, along with complete extrude honing as well. We can keep it our little secret if you'd like though ;)
Having said that, it all looks Good! :nod:
One Q.
What is pic one showing?
It looks like you smoothed the comp housing "wheel contour" with something. What exactly is going on there?

It only cost us a few extra dollars to manufacture a thicker swing valve housing so we designed it in. Glad you were able to take advantage of it Mr. Jones. Looking good!

Lol, pics are so small on my phone screen that one got mixed in. We were putting new cam chains/guides/adjusters on my Brothers 04 Lightening this weekend. Runs amazing now. Old guides/sliders were down to metal and the hydraulic adjusters couldn't extend the guides any further to take up chain slack. Was making scary noises:confused: I'm sure the +2PSI lower pulley helped its new vigor too:eyebrows:

In this mans opinion that circumfrential ridge that can be seen and felt on the face of the compressor housing isn't a design feature but rather a limitation of the machining process where two angles meet. So on this turbo like every other I carefully erase the ridge with a composite wheel using caution to remove as little material as possible. Likely its one of those things I do that has little or no effect on spool or boost production. Kinda like the radious I add to the exducer area of the turbine housing, looks good to me, feels good in my hands but little or no effect;) Looks like I didn't add a pic of that, I'm on my tablet but lemme see if I can edit/add from my phone where pics are...
EDIT: looks like I didn't take any pics of that side of the housing. If I get home before dark today I'll take one of what I did so I can get flamed for it:lol:

I always liked those Lightnings. A buddy of mine had one that was built up but unfortunately it got totaled.

Back in the early 70's I worked at a place called Irontite, when they were in California. They have a lead based anti seize compound that works great for high temp exhaust stuff. It's kind of pricey but I've had my can since the summer of '72 and I'm still using it.

I actually just removed a swingvalve and I broke non of the bolts. I was so happy. Wastegate e clip went flying though.

That's because the car came from AZ, we only had about 2000 miles on that turbo and we usually use anti-seize on the bolts. An old trick we use is tying lightweight fishing line to the swing valve e clip so they can be easily retrieved. I know you have plenty of fishing line laying around. LOL!!

That's a really good idea about the eclip. Some of the bolts were a little iffy. You know when they break loose and then get hard to turn again. I used my little map torch for good measure.

Looking good AJ. That looks strikingly similar to the two piece that’s going on Joy’s Daytona
