Started My 1.8 Turbo Project.

[redline6k]

I have found a guy who can do forged internals for my 1.8. So I decided I am going to turbocharge it. I will be fabricating a exhaust manifold instead of using a colt manifold. Here are a few pics of the project so far.

Thanks for the link but im going to be using 8 to 1 compression pistons. I want to able to boost the hell out of this thing. The throttle body will work because im going to manual control the idle. I just need to weld the IAC opening shut at the bottom.

does anyone have anymore information on these or has anyone tried these?

NICE turbo man! I'm really glad someone believes in the 1.8l! I've heard of a few turbo 1.8's but NEVER a turbo 1.8 DSM with a t04e on it!
good luck with everything and if you have any questions I will try my self, I post-poned my turbo install (on my 2.0 non-turbo) until this summer.

Seems like a good package but the compression ratio is a little high for my application.

 

[redline6k]

I'm Kinda pissed of right now. I have all these parts to fab and install and I can't until i get my log manifold elbows. I ended up ordering my exhaust pipe bender today so i can get going on my downpipe and intercooler piping.

Now that I know what the flange looks like, I can tell you for certain you can probably bolt up a STARION or CONQUEST exhaust manifold from a 4G54B turbo and you would have a Top mount style too

Wrong turbo flange

 

[SolidBoostTSi]

Wrong turbo flange

The Head to manifold flange is similar and if it were to be attempted the turbo to use would be a TD05 (8cm) style not 5H(6cm,7cm) the housing on starquests are also 8cm but I just wanted to clear that up

Pop-ups on a turbo?

Pop-ups on a turbo?

Those are lower compression pistons with the same design as the factory ones.
