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.

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

Dunccoss

where it is

DAN-Saff

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

DAN-Saff

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

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....

Dunccoss

sorry its a bit late but here is a pic

DAN-Saff

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

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

DAN-Saff

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

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.
