Wastegates on the exhaust side are over-rated IMO, and this car hasn't got one. Has one on the inlet side though, between turbo and supercharger. Yet more shithot welding by Zurawski Motorsport too for the flange.
Aewsome, compound charging is something ive alwasy wanted to do, there are some nice motorsport items on this build to, i like the wastegate system your using on the turbo, was that system not used on the turbo F1 cars, as said great build!!!
When this is finished i cant wait to see it on track, Its got everything. A proper ALS system a supercharger and turbo, win win win. Are you selling it? swaps, mk2 escort!!!
I swear all you do is find welding to slag off on here, lol. It's like that to fill a gap, as the flange for the wastegate was 3in, and the pipe is 2.5in. Not sure, it's used on all kinds of things, from 1500bhp turbo boats to race cars, though not that often as most believe it will overspeed the turbo. It doesnt. Yeah, will have to not long after its done, need the cash tbh
Yep! Cos thats a bodge and looks shit. Just like you seek out people that don't understand compressor maps or turbos
I tell people correct answers, not just to try and poke fun at things. He did exactly what I wanted doing. Wasnt going to fuck about making a custom flange for no reason.
No but thats not really what caged is saying, if the pipe had been filleted properly there'd be no need to double weld it. Nothing wrong with it in that application, but to call it a shit-hot weld, it is not.
Sorry if this has been asked already but, what are you expecting the inlet temperatures to be like relative to a turbo 86 of similar power?
Car is long gone. But with twin intercoolers that are effective enough, charge temps wouldn't be much different, especially as neither turbo or supercharger would be running high boost, just a decent pressure once compounded. Expecting sub 40degC regardless.
