Does anyone know were to get a turbo damper for a small turbo engine. Going to fit a t4 turbo and would like to use a 2wd manifold, but can not find a damper.

 

from what I remember mike rainbird has this conversion and he (well not him cos he doesn't get his hands dirty!) welded on a 2wd mounting onto the side of the head then bolted in a normal damper, job jobbed.

just got one for mine and uses 3 of the fixing on the rocker cover

 

Where did you get it from, have you got any pictures?
Cheers

 

would also be interested, as this may be needed for a GT30 as well

 

had it made as i now run a gt30, will put a pic to show you

 

where it is

 

Looking forward to see the pic and contact details, trying to get the car ready for cental day.

 

you can either use dedicated spec R T4 one which bolts onto 2 of the cam cover screws or the baileys type one

 

None of them fit the later type cam cover and there is no bracket on the head to bolt to

Nice one

 

there's been a bit of discussion about that cam cover being welded like that to support turbo, In my opinion its not safe....too much weight and weird potentially harmful vibrations could end up with oil all over turbo and engine fire.

Probably best to get an engineering firm to make you a bespoke one based on the bailey type design but to suit your cover.

totally agree on that.

i might be okay to machine the cam cover, but what if not....

 

sorry its a bit late but here is a pic

 

It looks good thats just what i need.
Have you got the contact details for the company?
Or can you get me one made.

Cheers

 

give SCS a ring as harvy made it for me, number is on my sig

 

He also did my mod, but can only be done when head is stripped down - looks factory though :

 

cheers for your help.
Spoke to Harvy, and he is going to make one, should get it next week.

 

looks brilliant - welded brakes at the head I suppose?

and how (stupid quest I know) is this adopted to the turbo?

have a gt30 and a 2 wd manifold, as well as a small turbo head

 

RS500 turbo damper .

 

Hi Guys,

Sorry to hijack a great thread, but can anyone tell me where to source the carbon fibre infills and cambelt upper cover from as pictured on these engines?

Cheers,

Phil.

 

See my website under "purely cosmetic" .
