OM617.912 turbo selection
OM617.912 turbo selection
However, one theory of mine is the stock T3 may be causing my oil drinking problem...so looking at other non VGT/VNT modern alternatives.
Had in mind a GT2860RS with a .48 A/R T3 turbine housing... how would it spool? Looking more for lower end than top.

Ok, so since my .952 burns oil like no tomorrow, and I still have my old NA .912, I've decided to swap the turbo manifolds and what not onto it and put it in my '78.

The only thing about a he221 is they are t25 flange. So you'll have to adapt, but that's not a huge deal.

The CHRAs available all have stage III turbine wheels. What does that mean? Well it basically means I'd have to get the stock MB housing machined to accept a bigger wheel. May as well just get a whole new turbo...

06-22-2015, 01:11 PM #10If your car was not a turbo then yes get a new turbo. Machining a factory housing on a factory turbo motor however to take different internals would allow you to use the same oil supply, oil drain, 8 take and exhaust connections, which saves a ton of time and effort. The manifolds are not great but you could certainly run more fuel and boost through them.
After that, slap on anything that fits.

I might be able to get away without brazing but will have to see what I can do...
Basically I found another car, a 1977 280 which is in real good nick, leather interior and all. It's going to be a project while I use my current car as a DD. The .952 will go into it as it is the better engine, and I hope to superturbo it like in my sig.
The 5 speed van gearbox won't take oodles of torque so it can stay in the '78, but match up to the NA engine it had. But seeing that I'd make custom manifolds to the superturbo project, may as well turbo the NA engine.
Clear as mud?

I think an he211 would be awesome spooling turbo, but you have to adapt it to the manifold, it's a different flange.

Yea. Been thinking I could fab my own adaptor up, and put an angle or offset on it so it lets the turbo clear the NA intake with the longer runners (seeing I won't be using that for the other car), about time I learnt to weld!

07-24-2015, 01:18 AM #19That adaptor would be hard. The inner fender is right there so you want to go up, but the NA intake will not let you.a W115 intake or the turbo intake would be fine.
I may end up buying one yet. How big are these turbos? Can't be much bigger than the stock T3 surely...which would clear a .912 intake? I'm gonna use a W115 intake for the twincharge build when I get around to that, was trying to save some dough and use the intake already on the engine

No turbo will be a perfect fit. You get a vband and then weld an adapter pipe with the downpipe flange on one end and the vband on the other to attach to the flange vband. But it is just a straight adapter not a 90 degree one.
