Well i'm not rotary anymore but still would be cool to go. If I'm not stuck working ill go.

RotorMotorDriver 06-19-13 12:41 AM

I will put this into my calendar, maybe that will help me remember to make it. I think I have a couple things to maybe sell, I will have to look around. Maybe a Racing Beat intake and carb, a glass sunroof, etc.

If it's steel then I can weld it, I don't have a aluminum setup yet.

ArmyOfOne 08-13-13 08:02 AM

If Lloyds too tired I can weld it Aaron.

Thanks guys, This is what I have got needing some weld love.

Attachment 756295

The flap which opens the wastegate is missing some material.
From what it looks like, PO welded the smaller of the two wastegate holes shut and then enlarged the larger one, then welded some material to the flap to seal the larger orpheus.

Slammed_GSL 08-13-13 11:13 PM

Hmmm, if that is Cast material, I have nickel rod for welding cast iron.
But that is a internal wastegate and it is under a lot of stress and heat.
Welding is only a temporary measure. A replacement flapper from a Turbo refitter might be your best bet. New is better than bandaids.
If you still want it welded, we can do it, got all the tools to grind and finish it and make it look nice.

Or....we weld it shut and you use a external wastegate.

Jhereg 08-13-13 11:30 PM

If somebody is planning on attending but is unable to bring a 7, I'd like to bring both mine but my buddy is going to work the weekend and won't be able to come with us.

TOOSHORT_88 08-14-13 12:34 PM

Aaron go home depot and pick up 2 new larger washers then cut out what's needed on ur turbo then weld on new larger washers so it seals 100%

Too easy

TOOSHORT_88 08-14-13 12:50 PM

Irons are s4 t2 I believe... how do u tell between s4 /s5 t2?

Icemastr 08-16-13 10:21 AM

See you guys tomorrow. I should be there around noon.

Lloyd,
wanted to say thank you for such a wonderful time at the bbq. Once again a top notch gathering of great friends, had a wonderful time and really enjoyed the sit down and chat session we had. Also wanted to thank Chad(jhreg) for letting Shelly and I drive his car to the meet as my car has a blown engine. Can not wait to see You project completed and on the track.

Jhereg 08-18-13 10:50 AM

Best meet of the year, of course. I took a few pics, I'll post later today.

ArmyOfOne 08-18-13 11:03 AM

Lloyd, thanks so much for keeping this going. I am so glad I could finally make it, now I know what I have been missing all these years. I will make it a point in life to make time to come up and visit. I'll get some pics from my son and post up as well.

Again thank you and your family for a wonderful day.

KompressorLOgic 08-18-13 01:57 PM

Yes the compressor wheel is already scribed.
Welding turned out great!
Going to purchase a turbo rebuild. Is every one certain it is a garret t3? The guys at Alamo called it a Hitachi so I just want to make sure before I but

Thank for having us Lloyd!

ArmyOfOne 08-19-13 12:52 AM

I know that the twins are Hitachis but not sure about the S5.
