Jeep Liberty Turbo to T3 Adaptor - bgkast - 03-17-2008

I recall there was some talk about having some of these made. Any new word on them?

Re: Jeep Liberty Turbo to T3 Adaptor - ForcedInduction - 03-18-2008

Not for quite some time. I made my flange by hand from scratch.

Re: Jeep Liberty Turbo to T3 Adaptor - winmutt - 03-18-2008

On the list of things to do. I got a really nice drill press for XMAS but damaged the arbor chuck on install, the only part not covered by warranty. I am waiting to pull the spare engine so I can set it all up on the stand before going in.

Re: Jeep Liberty Turbo to T3 Adaptor - bgkast - 03-18-2008

I just bought a liberty turbo, so I could use an adaptor now. Big Grin

Let me guess, 270219611373 for $80?

Don't forget that the Liberty turbo is a GT2056V.

Re: Jeep Liberty Turbo to T3 Adaptor - bgkast - 03-19-2008

It pushes 26.5 psi of boost to give 160 HP for the 2.8L Jeep engine, so it should be good enough for me. Big Grin

Redline of that engine is 4300 RPM.

There was some discussion of FI's install that he might be hitting a wall in the top end of RPMs. I cant wait to see for myself Smile

Re: Jeep Liberty Turbo to T3 Adaptor - bgkast - 03-19-2008

I thought he was thinking that because of the high EGTs at full load, but his engine just seems to put out more heat than most. I guess we'll find out. :mrgreen:

Re: Jeep Liberty Turbo to T3 Adaptor - bgkast - 03-20-2008

The 617 should be right about in the center of the map at about 3000RPM and 14.7 psi of boost (about 20 lbs/min).

Re: Jeep Liberty Turbo to T3 Adaptor - winmutt - 03-20-2008

What does the 617 flow at 4400rpm?

Re: Jeep Liberty Turbo to T3 Adaptor - bgkast - 03-21-2008

I calculate 25.35 lb/min at 15 psi of boost, 22.78 lb/min at 12 psi.

Here are some good guides to turbo basics and calculations: <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.turbobygarrett.com/turbobygarrett/tech_center/tech_center.html">http://www.turbobygarrett.com/turbobyga ... enter.html</a><!-- m -->


Do you have a good drawing of the turbo adaptor made up? I may have found a place to water jet them for a real bargain. I will make up a adaptor drawing when I get my turbo if you don't.

Here is one rendering I have.

I hit up Jon Krouse on mshop in PM and sent him the files over. I think you replied to that thread as well. We shall see what comes of it.

Re: Jeep Liberty Turbo to T3 Adaptor - bgkast - 03-21-2008

In the 3D model I assume the top right hole is shared, and an extra long stud will need to be installed in the exhaust manifold? The large holes for the rest of the T3 holes are recesses for nuts correct? This thing will need to be 3/4" to 1" thick with those nut recesses. Confusedhock:

Who made the 3D model?

Re: Jeep Liberty Turbo to T3 Adaptor - winmutt - 03-21-2008

Some guy that wanted $150 for it. I laughed. $100 turbo... rolling eyes.

Anyways i think it can be done in 3/8s or certainly 1/2" easily enough. You will need to pull the studs from the t3 flange and install a 8->10mm stud (from VW head, already sourced em) and bore out the thread IIRC, the upper right is threaded on mine. If needed the bolt heads can be ground flat.

I am going to make a mock up in cardboard or styrofoam and mail it to him so he has something to look at physically. I'll post pics before I mail it to him.

Jon's a nice guy and it wouldn't surprise me if he made one for himself.

Re: Jeep Liberty Turbo to T3 Adaptor - winmutt - 03-25-2008

So Jon and I have been going back and forth. I took some additional pictures to help give him an Idea of whats needed. The 2 lower studs on the manifold can be turned into non threaded pass through holes for bolting. One of the other ones on the other side can be made into a passthrough which leaves us with one hole that has to be blind.

Re: Jeep Liberty Turbo to T3 Adaptor - winmutt - 03-25-2008

So it looks like the adapter plate and mounting is going to be fairly simple. The lower 2 studs are removable and when using the upper right hole as a pass through, you clear the second top stud. I'll have a draft up shortly.

[edit]

Booo when doing this there is not enough of an overlap of the exhaust holes... I did come up with something else.

Re: Jeep Liberty Turbo to T3 Adaptor - bgkast - 03-25-2008

That design is what I am up with looking at mine today too.

Re: Jeep Liberty Turbo to T3 Adaptor - winmutt - 03-28-2008

Green=passthru
Red=tapped
Blue=countersunk

The green passthrough will have to use the 10mm->8mm vw head stud.

Re: Jeep Liberty Turbo to T3 Adaptor - bgkast - 03-28-2008

So all of the red holes will have studs coming off of the adaptor? Is there enough room for a nut on the back side of the bottom holes of the stock manifold? (It's been awhile since I have looked at my spare)
I plan to try to draw up the adaptor in CAD at lunch today. Any word from Jon? If it does not work out with him I will try the water jet place near my house.

Re: Jeep Liberty Turbo to T3 Adaptor - winmutt - 03-28-2008

The lower ones on the t3 will be threaded so that they can be bolted in from behind. They will be smaller like an 8mm vs the 10mm stock stud. This will prevent from having to drill out the manifold. You will still have to drill out the passthrough on the turbo side.

Re: Jeep Liberty Turbo to T3 Adaptor - bgkast - 03-28-2008

here is the same thing in CAD

Re: Jeep Liberty Turbo to T3 Adaptor - winmutt - 03-28-2008

Are those dimensions correct? If so my little photochop wasn't such a bad job Smile Have you sent that to Jon?

Re: Jeep Liberty Turbo to T3 Adaptor - bgkast - 03-28-2008

Yes it is to scale. I don't know how to make it in 3D though. I will send it over to Jon today.

Re: Jeep Liberty Turbo to T3 Adaptor - bgkast - 03-30-2008

Does anybody know what size the V band outlet is on the stock T3? What about the V band outlet on the Liberty turbo? We will need to come up with some transition piece to replace the stock accordion.

I believe FI said they were the same on his turbo.

Re: Jeep Liberty Turbo to T3 Adaptor - bgkast - 03-30-2008

They are not the same with the liberty turbo.

Re: Jeep Liberty Turbo to T3 Adaptor - bgkast - 03-31-2008

Here is the flange with dimensions (yes my dimensioning sucks). All dimensions in MM.

Re: Jeep Liberty Turbo to T3 Adaptor - winmutt - 04-01-2008

Hizzah! The first adapter is being cut today!

Re: Jeep Liberty Turbo to T3 Adaptor - bgkast - 04-01-2008

Cool! I need to get my rust repair finished up so I can concentrate on the new turbo.... What are these going to cost and what additional work are we going to need to do to them? Tapping the holes? Grinding the inlet transition?

Re: Jeep Liberty Turbo to T3 Adaptor - bgkast - 04-01-2008

OOOHHHH
[attachment=0]<!-- ia0 -->adaptor1.jpg<!-- ia0 -->[/attachment]


Do we want all of the stud holes to go all the way through the adaptor?

I will revise my CAD drawing tonight to remove the T3 inlet (I think we will have to grind the transition between the T3 rectangular inlet and the Liberty circular inlet by hand) and make the stud holes smaller so that threads can be tapped into them. I think the holes in my original drawing were oversized for passing bolts through.

Re: Jeep Liberty Turbo to T3 Adaptor - bgkast - 04-01-2008

Flange 2.0

I used this website for the hole sizes for the holes that are to be tapped: <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.korit.com/tapndrill.htm">http://www.korit.com/tapndrill.htm</a><!-- m --> Because I did not know the pitch of the 8 and 10 mm studs I just used a middle value for the hole. For the pass-through hole sizes I used the diameters from Garrett.

Re: Jeep Liberty Turbo to T3 Adaptor - bgkast - 04-02-2008

This is how the current holes are set up:

Green - Pass through 8mm (for the 10mm ->8mm stud
Blue - Pass through 10 mm (will be counter sunk to fit a nut or allen head bolt)
Red - Threaded 10 mm (will receive bolts from back side of stock manifold, threaded holes in manifold will need to be bored out to pass through holes
Purple - Threaded 8mm (will have studs inserted to mount GT2056V)

Re: Jeep Liberty Turbo to T3 Adaptor - winmutt - 04-10-2008

TITS!@#!@#!$!@#$!@#$

I got the mockup and its a perfect fit.

Getting the T3 studs out of the exhaust manifold WILL require a good vise.

Re: Jeep Liberty Turbo to T3 Adaptor - bgkast - 04-10-2008

Cool! Pictures? So when will we see the final product?

Re: Jeep Liberty Turbo to T3 Adaptor - winmutt - 04-10-2008

bgkast Cool! Pictures? So when will we see the final product?
No pics yet, I am leaving town tomorrow for 3day camping trip with the boys (Who will be this years creekfighting champegne of the world?). The way it came out will leave plenty of room for error. It worked out great. I need to get a hole of the 10mm->8mm studs from the VW head studs, everything else will be easy to source.

There is one concern I have where the stud from the CRD side is located in relation to the blind hole for the T3 on the upper side. This was the only area where the contiguous mating area was low and may leak a little.

I can actually run it with just the 1/4" mock up as it is now but will miss one t3 post where the blind would be.

Re: Jeep Liberty Turbo to T3 Adaptor - bgkast - 04-11-2008

I think the 10MM to 8MM stud hole should be upsized to allow the 10MM part of the stud to pass through. We need 1/2" of 10mm to thread into the manifold, 1/2" of any size to pass through the adaptor, 1/2" of 8mm to pass through the Jeep turbo flange, and 1/2" or so for a nut and some extra threads. All of the studs like this I have seen are equal legnth on each side.

Double nut the stud.

Re: Jeep Liberty Turbo to T3 Adaptor - bgkast - 04-11-2008

ForcedInduction Double nut the stud.

That's what I plan to try. I am hopeful I can do this with the manifolds still on the engine.

Re: Jeep Liberty Turbo to T3 Adaptor - dieselkid - 04-11-2008

Almost done. Let me know if you want one.

Re: Jeep Liberty Turbo to T3 Adaptor - bgkast - 04-11-2008

I want one!

Any chance you could make the 10mm to 8mm stud on a lathe for us too?

Re: Jeep Liberty Turbo to T3 Adaptor - bgkast - 04-11-2008

Ace hardware had all of the studs needed. The 8 to 10mm stud is 1.5" long, which will only give 3/8" of thread to screw into the exhaust manifold...hopefully that will do.

Thats plenty. My adapter plate is only 3/8" thick and its worked well so far, even without gaskets.

Re: Jeep Liberty Turbo to T3 Adaptor - dieselkid - 04-14-2008

I need to know what side to countersink the upper right hole. This side or the other?

Re: Jeep Liberty Turbo to T3 Adaptor - bgkast - 04-14-2008

dieselkid I need to know what side to countersink the upper right hole. This side or the other?

The upper right large hole in that photo would need to be countersunk on the back side of the adaptor. You may want to just leave it to the buyer to tap and countersink the holes because the countersink diamater and thread pitch will depend on the hardware used.

Re: Jeep Liberty Turbo to T3 Adaptor - dieselkid - 04-15-2008

I was going to tap it .650 I'm pretty sure that will cover any hex head bolt around 10mm. The 10mm hex head diameter I checked was .635. Plus most people don't have a good way to countersink a 1/2 inch piece of metal. The bit alone could cost $30.

how did that countersunk hole workout with the hex bolt you used?
