Scottys Garage 12s For $2k - Part-6 - Fitting the Turbo!

[@boujeePerformance]

I like the way you show case your partners parts all while saving and being open about the costs of parts Not just saying we hadn’t this in the shed so on cost Awsum progress Living vicariously threw your channel Scotty

[@matthewcapuzza]

Yeh I'm not liking that either from some other people doing it

[@imidsikkey]

Just like you largely pioneered the green tops for us all, you're now doing some test dummy exploration with this small housing turbo on some skinny rods for us 👌 If this works, you're going to be responsible for the doubling of au engine prices, just like you were for the doubling of green tops 😂😂😂 Love your work scotty. I look forward to the next video

[@RobertScottSDA]

Hay Scotty hope you is well mate. Count me in I have a Ba falcon with a Barra in it which I picked up for 1k a couple months ago iv been wanting to do something with it 12s for 2k sounds good been watching the series mate an love every minute of it hope to see you an the team on Australia day 👍👍

[@blownhemi]

Hope it comes together for ya, that's a steal for a Barra.

[@RobertScottSDA]

@@blownhemi thanks mate I really appreciate it I'll keep you all informed on it's coming along 👍👍

[@jarrodlam4984]

Maybe you can space up the drivers side engine Mount to get it to clear the bolt

[@markoprizmic2666]

Scotty honestly your a top bloke and mechanical genius

[@jrbuch]

Keep up the fantastic work Scotty. I find the budget stuff really interesting, and having owned an AU ex taxi (Thomastown special) this is cool.

[@Xavier_Reynolds97]

Good on ya Scotty doing the community and good deed. Merry Christmas to you all 🎄🎄

[@jimclarke1108]

Your experience and homework is doing the job for you Scotty✌

[@1969Risky]

Scotty at the end of the day it's 12s For $2k. The AU doesn't have to look pretty nor does the engine bay. As long as everything is secure & it works. It's never going back as a registered car. I'm enjoying the content (even though I'm a Holden man). You do know that AU (apart from being gold on the periodic table) stands for Awfully Ugly. Let the AU earn its rep that way.

[@brandonhinton1239]

High mount looks wicked Scotty

[@Phil_Bennett]

South East Asia is a cool place, I was in Singapore at the start of the year and it was around 32 degrees but over 90% humidity. It's one of the worst things I have ever experienced

[@blownhemi]

urgghhh! I hate high humidity

[@MrTonaluv]

@@blownhemi invest in an electric pedestal fan mate! If ya can put it near the window or door...all the better to get some 'cooler' air into the workshop.

[@gazza116]

as a other viewer said jack up the right side engine mount and maybe lower the left side and make a angled spacer to go the rear mount,being the trans.

[@colinmiles9390]

Put your battery in the boot and move the water tank forward into battery spot then you have the room

[@colincarpenter9554]

U can turn a ba -bf manifold upside down to make mounting of turbo on top …. Works a treat … can’t do that with a fg as fouls on power steer bracket … but try that

[@tturi2]

the fg manifold you can buy from aeroflow brand new for $500 on ebay and fits much better between the strut tower and sohc, the stock fg dump also allows a wideband to screw in for a haltech 750

[@tturi2]

also use those same skinny long hoses for the overflow to feed water from the heater core bypass

[@anthonywhelan8373]

Ditch the intercooler Short piping and methanol fuel Suppress detonation and here comes 11.99 for $2000.00

[@blownhemi]

Methanol would work in that scenario

[@castekracing]

Top mount for the win!!! Needs a spacer to really get it outta the bonnet!

[@blownhemi]

If thing go the way they are going, you might get your wish.

[@castekracing]

@blownhemi and it MUST have a tractor flap 🤣

[@rayvreman2002]

Scotty, do you reckon if you lengthened the drivers side engine mount and tilted the engine towards the passengers side you might get the clearance you need. Might have to modify the fan shroud a little. With the motor on a tilt it might qualify to for a Valiant badge

[@blownhemi]

It might cause other dramas, I think I'll stick with a high mount

[@rayvreman2002]

@@blownhemi Scotty, only talking about 15mm lift on the engine mount might give you about 25mm where you where going to mount the turbo drop an engine bolt out and jack the motor up on one side and see, your call

[@tturi2]

fg manifold solves that issue

[@st8jkt69]

Turbskiz,dump and gate out bonnet- Harry would approve ✅️

[@blownhemi]

He certainly would

[@JJbrown3692]

Yes sir,,it is what it is,,zootzoot out the top,, gonna be interesting to see what it does mate.. Cheers Scotty..

[@trevor02150]

You can put a bolt in with a skinny head or nut for turbo clearance..

[@blownhemi]

The bolt is welded on the other side, so it's a little more involved than that. Not impossible, but I'm not sure it's worth the effort

[@johnnycapan6566]

Scotty did you remove all the AC Will save some weight Theres a delete braket /pulley available..Cool hole in bonnet hornet scoupe More weight saving 😅

[@blownhemi]

The only problem is the bracket costs money. Easier to just leave it there for the moment

[@camsbarra2480]

​@blownhemi scotty it's only $60 supercheap auto

[@blownhemi]

@@camsbarra2480 I'll have to check that out. Do you have a part number ?

[@DodgyBrothersEngineering]

Ok lets try again... Probably won't like this suggestion considering what you have spent already, but there is a cheaper and better way to do this. And that is to build your own. Exhaust shops want you to believe the is some kind of black magic involved to charge ridiculous money for a custom manifold, and I spent that fortune only to receive complete garbage. So I decided I could do better myself. I did a video showing the process of the build. It was far simpler than you might think. The steel head flange is a fraction of the cost you paid for that adapter as it is a straight forward laser cut, and can often be bought off the shelf or you can have your own cut. The steam pipe bends are fairly cheap. You already have an electric glue gun in the form of a welder. I did all the fabrication on mine but didn't do the final welding only because I didn't own a MIG at the time. I think we have comparable welding skills. I wouldn't hesitate to do it today. You can also save money on getting the housing modified and do what I did, which is to build the wastegate pipe into the manifold, making piping less complicated.

[@blownhemi]

Yeah, I certainly considered doing that, and nothing is off the table. If I change anything, I just remove that item from the budget and then add whatever else I did in it's place. If the budget needs the $390-400, then I'll just use the factory exhaust manifold upside down.

[@DodgyBrothersEngineering]

@@blownhemi I don't know if you saw the video I am referring to, but the first one I bought off a so called "expert" muffler shop turned out to be complete garbage (worth the look just to see how poorly they did) it cost $1000, the second replacement one I got done by Liverpool Exhaust in Sydney (another $1000) was a massive improvement. When I decided I wanted to both turbo and supercharge the SR20. I had trouble getting them to understand my vision for the next manifold. So I got the two flange plates off them (head and turbo) and a number of steam pipe bends. Between using sticky tape to hold them in position, and a grinder to make the precise angles, I got it perfect. I even put a divider plate in between the two halves to make it a split plenum manifold (mostly to stop the two sides crashing into each other). Was far simpler than I ever imagined and worked better than the expensive ones.

[@351tgv]

Suggestion, you could just use a factory turbo off a BA, it should fit into the slot, of course finding a factory BA turbo that has not been bused ... well that's another thing, love your work scotty, love this project more than the sponsors ute.

[@blownhemi]

@351tgv yeah, I could but finding on in good condition for cheap is hard. Plus I like the idea of an inexpensive turbo

How much clearance behind the motor as a top mount for an exhaust might be an issue , When turbo is mounted in the low position would an inch or 2 spacer lower it away from the bolt enough Scotty . Top mount seem's to have more issue's like heat n exhaust but I cant see it like you can .

or a wedge shaped spacer maybe .

[@brianblank82]

Out the bonnet yesssssss! #racecar

[@wingoson]

Scotty you need to get some bonnet strut clamps makes it easier to work on with no stick or pole in the way and certain ones come with spark plug gap tool built in..

[@blownhemi]

You'll see something next episode

[@TheScary79]

Awesome video mate love the content.

[@blownhemi]

Thanks for watching!

[@builds_on_a_budget4111]

Scotty, please take advantage of this situation and send the exhaust across the top and exit on the passenger side of the bonnet!!!

[@blownhemi]

It'll be definitely out the bonnet.

[@Sloae101]

Love scottys garage but i don't know where u are finding turbo manifolds for less the 300 I've been searching for one for ages and looking around 1k for ba-bf

[@Josh_Wilson]

be on marketplace at the right time, i got a turbo manifold for free after buying a loom off someone they just threw it in

[@aquamane_]

Or if you have a Gas MIG welder, just make your own manifold with steam pipe, it is much cheaper to do it that way!Otherwise

[@hayden6056]

A standard ba bf one goes for like $2-300 and is good for a lot of kw.

[@hayden6056]

There's one on eBay for $322 posted Aus wide if actually are that desperate but be cheaper off marketplace.

[@hayden6056]

FG one for $532 posted on it.

[@psybonix]

Leave the turbo top mounted. Show it proudly! 😂

[@jeromespiteri1801]

Gone are the days of finding b series turbo manifolds for under $100

[@MotoringBoxTV]

More like 400+ when I was looking here in QLD. Unless you know a guy.

[@blownhemi]

That's true

[@jeromespiteri1801]

@MotoringBoxTV it's crazy how living in different states of this beautiful land dictates the price of second hand parts so drastically 🤣, was doing turbo conversion for under 1.5k plus whatever the tunes worth and still making a decent profit 6-8 years ago. Vic must have just had a shitload of xr6ts bought brand new.

[@LukesRandomShit]

No idea how the A arm bolts up on the other side but could you turn the bolt into a stud? Weld in a plate then weld in a bolt through it and grind flat so you just have the nut on the wheel side not engine bay side. That would give you the clearance you need? Either way top mount would be cool and go with the hackness of going 12s for 2k

[@blownhemi]

That essentially what it is., but from the other side, not sure it'll work in reverse. But yeah having it high mount kinda suits it as well

[@MattKsomething]

Path of least resistance !

[@jamiebeckf]

Can you mod engine mounts to shift it over slightly for compressor housing clearance.

[@blownhemi]

You could but it would still be tight and might cause other issues

[@haydnpaull5447]

It's a cheap turbo. Why not leave it low mount and cut/ shut the compressor housing to clear the bolt? Those ignition leads will get baked with top mount config even with sleeves

[@blownhemi]

Because it would probably need too much clearancing

[@jacklevings4369]

Good idea with the manifold adapter 👍 we done it red neck style and flipped the factory manifold and exhaust out the bonnet 😂😂
