1G Jmfab o2 housing problem

[SasaniFab]

Ok so I purchased a jmfab o2 housing from Extremepsi and when I went to install everything it doesn't fit. The Tial Mvr will bolt on to the housing but it won't with the valve seat in the wastegate. Am I missing something here or do I need to send it back.

Looks like a fitment issue . Try putting the v clamps to see if it budges. Perhaps with the torque it will line everything up.

 

[SasaniFab]

Yah I've tried that.....I can't even tighten the clamps far enough to put the bolts through

 

[boostdawd]

I would contact extreme psi and let them know. That is a pricey piece for it not to line up correctly. U can try to heat it up but I wouldn't personally do that. Hopefully someone else can chime in.

 

[SasaniFab]

I was thinking about heating it but I shouldn't have to modify something that cost almost 400 dollars. Like I said it lines up perfectly without the valve seat inside the wastegate. I'm assuming this seat is essential.

What springs do u have? May need to push them down if they're too stiff. Loosen the Allen bolts on the top to get some wiggle room.

 

[SasaniFab]

That's with no spring in the wastegate, just took it out of the box and tryed to fit up up

 

[boostdawd]

The valveseat is needed to ensure a leak free seal. If you remove it from the waste gate does it fit flush in the O2 housing?

Ive had to use a channel lock plier to squeeze my v band clamp down close enough to get the bolt through. Maybe that will cause the fire ring to compress and line everything up.

The Valve seat sticks out a few mm, the flange on the manifold has a slot also

I have a JM Fab setup as well, no issues with mine. I have the 44mm MVR. Can you post a couple of pix?

 

[SasaniFab]

Can I ask, were you able to seat the wastegate without a fight?

 

[SasaniFab]

Like I said , it's a perfect fit without the valve seat it, it won't go in for the life of me with it in

 

[boostdawd]

This to me looks like it's slightly at an angle. May be the root of your problem.

 

[SasaniFab]

I'm not going to fight with it anymore, I spent to much money at this point

 

[boostdawd]

For sure. That's a quality piece. I would expect no flaws.

Can I ask, were you able to seat the wastegate without a fight?

More or less. I have 4 springs in mine (22 psi base pressure). So it took a little pressure to fully seat the 2 mating surfaces. The clamp went on with no problems.

Ignore the little extended piece, I had that added to clear the water fittings. The setup fit in my 1g with no changes. I just modified it slightly to fit my needs..

 

[SasaniFab]

I'm going to call extreme in the am. That doesn't look like the recirculated housing?

 

[SasaniFab]

I'm waiting on a fp black so I don't need it at this point but just a little frustrating

 

[SasaniFab]

Fits like a glove after a lil love with the pliers . So very sexy

Yeah they are very nice looking.
