Fitted the turbo today after lobing off the old mounting for the turbo damper and the outlet of the comp housing is very close to the alternator.

My question is this... What have you done for your boost pipes and i take it i need a drop bracket for the alternator and where is the best place to get one

Any pics would be good

Thanks

 

find the drop brackets on ebay mate and they are fine

 

Thanks pal

These ones http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...MEWA:IT&ih=017

 

yes mate thats the one when you fit it you will have to cut the lug off on your block to get it to fit, this will make sense when your alternator and bracket is off

i will say i didnt use standard belts purely as the standard ones didnt really fit with out modding the arm bit.

 

O well if needs must

 

lol i didnt know what my mate was on about at first but once you have the alternator off and its bracket you`l see the lug bit you must grind off

 

Thanks mate' Ordered one last night

What about the boost hose's

 

i got my boost hoses from roose they took a couple of days to get

 

Yes have been looking @ these.

This one i take it http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Cosworth-76mm-...QQcmdZViewItem

Thanks

 

what intercooler you got mate just out of interest???

 

Pace mate..


Just about to go and measure the pipe diameters

 

Just measured the cooler and its only 62mm .. Should i get this modded to 70 odd mm???

Turbo outlet is 65mm tho

 

i made up a longer top bracket to allow the alternator to drop down as much as possinle. belts are 1 metre long and allow the boost pipe to run over the top of it (with the rs500 drop bkt too)

 

Good idea mate

 

took a bit of trial & error but modelled it on the existing bkt & when finished got it chromed. looks as good as a factort part

 

when i got my pipes made i said to roose i have a gt30 to radtec 500 cooler and they already knew the size

 

What the guys name so i no what to call him when i send him a email

 

Are those standard belts? I need a drop bracket as with the genuine 500 cooler, my hose now hits the altenator. Got the bracket here - just have to bully Dunlop into fitting it

 

no, no, no. belts are much longer & the only thing i would give Dunlop is boxing gloves

 

Where did you get the belts from?

 

Chris Rogan @ motorspares. took a bit of messin around. the belts come in 5mm incriments so u can get it pretty close depending on how much adjustment u have on the top arm. i made mine the exact fit & had to redrill holes when i put the alloy waterpump pully on. will have to do the same again i think as i now have the ally power steering, crank & alternator ones to match (along with a lot more goodies) as its that time of year

 

Also what fuel pumps are you using one or two 044 pumps or an aeromotive etc ect

Thanks

 

im using 1 x 044 bosch pump & 4 x 1000 cc injectors. talked this through with Mark Shead & is as he recommended. have aeromotive pressure regulator as opposed to standard

 

Thought the reg was ok? Have heard of a few issues of the aeromotive ones leaking ?
