AND THE OWNT! knightriderzx3 05-26-2005, 05:21 AM that's brutual. is there a warranty on it? how old was it? how many miles? 1turbofocus 05-26-2005, 07:44 AM Just goes to show that cheap and turbo dont go togather Tom 96mercury 05-26-2005, 11:45 AM Doesn't look like there is any type of extra support to handle the weight of the turbo. Correct me if I am wrong, but it looks like they just cut off the cat flange and welded on the turbo flange and called it good. Plus that metal is really thin stuff! knightriderzx3 05-26-2005, 08:02 PM what the heck did that sound like when it went? focus mike 05-26-2005, 08:48 PM probably a loud clank along with an OH WHAT THE F#@K WAS THAT!!!! hurtinfocus 05-26-2005, 08:49 PM where did you buy that turbo header? that style though DEF. needs a support bracket to handle the added weight of a turbo oneill8769 05-26-2005, 08:49 PM Originally posted by focus mike probably a loud clank along with an OH WHAT THE F#@K WAS THAT!!!! [hihi] sprout2287 05-26-2005, 09:48 PM Where's the rest of the car? It looks like the camera is sitting where the bumper is supposed to be. If it's a longitudinally mounted motor, then the camera is where the fender goes... And you can see a little bit of a support bracket that looks like it snapped. This pic looks like one of a wrecked car. mountandriver 05-26-2005, 09:49 PM that is just what my first idea for a manifold was a focussport style header that has been attached to a t-3 flange. Looks like it wasent a good weild I do the same thing on horizontal and definatly needed an extra support.. I'm verry glad I didn't go through with that one.. If you repair and reuse it tru bracing the turbo flange to the manifold flange, and also a brace from the downpipe to the block may also help stabelize everything CatMostFeared 05-26-2005, 11:22 PM My friend sent me that picture from another website. So I really dont whats about it.He told me that the guy bought the header of ebay and made it himself. A stock header is to light weight for header.There should have been more support to hold the turbo and header. Yes S2 more ebay crap[:)~] FocusMang 05-26-2005, 11:43 PM I dont think its a focus knightriderzx3 05-27-2005, 01:52 AM Originally posted by focus mike probably a loud clank along with an OH WHAT THE F#@K WAS THAT!!!! i laughed for 5 minutes. sprout2287 05-27-2005, 11:43 PM Originally posted by FocusMang I dont think its a focus Well, the block is aluminum, and there is no tranny on the right side of the picture. I agree[;)] zx3focusguy 05-28-2005, 09:52 AM it obviously is a hlaf ass kit ass you can see the WG? or exhaust or something going through the inner structure. Scott zx3focusguy 05-28-2005, 09:54 AM WHOOPS, that might be part of a cage on a RWD car. Dunno ZX3TUNR 05-28-2005, 12:54 PM sheesh he didnt even use t bolt clamps 1turbofocus 05-28-2005, 05:37 PM I dont use T-bolt clamps either , there just not needed , All my kits back in the day had T-bolt clamps with them and people would over tighten them and split the hoses and crush the Alum intercooler piping so i junked them My car with 28PSI is doing just fine with STD type clamps Tom | |
