Exhaust housing swap?

[NeEmO6]

What would be to be done to swap an exhaust housing on a turbo in order to use it for a different exahaust manifold and dp? For example if one would want to use a big16g on an sr20det, i would need to use a compatible sr20 exhaust housing for it to bolt up to the stock manifold and downpipe.

Remove the v-band clamp, remove the old housing, install the new housing, reinstall the v-band clamp. If you're trying to stay internally-gated it may be a challenge setting up an actuator with the correct arm length and spring tension.

Make sure whatever housing you're using is is for the same turbo brand, series, and turbine wheel size.

If not the same brand or series, then im sure machining would need to be done correct? I guess what Im asking is what are the measurement that need to be taken into account. I have access to machinery.

There are Nissan-style turbine housings available for MHI TD05H turbos- you shouldn't have to machine anything if you're using the right housing. You can't mix housings between brands...meaning you can't fit a Garrett housing to a MHI turbo.

Best bet is to get a turbo to fit the Sr20
