hears what i have and whats that black tube thing in pic 1?? could i maby take that off and put a bov there?

I see a accurvator for a waiste gate.

Are you meaning the tube that sicks out side ways? if so, no you cant because thats not on the side that supplys the compressed air to the turbo.

maybe you could fit a something to the inlet manifold? then fit a bov to that etc?

[Old Skool Subbie]

Or you could maybe get a new pipe made up to go from turbo to the manifold and run a bov of that?

[subaru-mania]

was thinking about taking that plastic peace coming off manifold to turbo off and putting a peace of stainless steel tubing there with a bov adapter welded on to it? will this work?

[subaru-mania]

yea that's what i was thinking.

That would be your "best" option.

Heres the set up. I think it was done by an oz guy called fury. He did it many years ago. He gracefully showed me pics to hell me with my one I had done ( but never finished since I sold the car : )

sweet looks mint. just a question do u think its worth while doing this mod or should i just go with a fount mount?? or are they fine with out an inter cooler? as the turbo is kinda small if i was doing the inter cooler wouldn't it be better to put vf8 turbo off a Subaru legacy gt wagon on wld that work on the vortex motor safely? the one it has is a bit small for my liking.

Well the vortex isnt fitted with on so should be fine...

But saying that a cooler charge would be better. and the waic off the legacy would be more than enought.

I think a front mount would be laggy as hell... as well as bigger turbo...

Saying that my old turbo RxII had some hibrid turbo made... had a exhaust housing off the ea82T and what was supost to be a legacy air compressor housing.

what I could say was that if you wanted to replace the spark plugs you had to bunbolt the stupid thing. it was right up against the block.

If you were wanting more power drop a ej20 in it be a ashame to ruin a late model vortex since they are pretty rear :-\

From memory my old Leone had a rather noisey thrust bearing, maybe this is what your hearing?

See:

around the 25 second mark on that vid and a few more times through it, @ the 5 minute mark theres a loud one

[subaru-mania]

nah its don't really sound like that its defiantly the wastgate or a bov.

[Guest lan_killa]

ive never heard a wastegate sound like a bov

[subaru-mania]

it just makes the noise because i put a pod on and took of vent to atmosphere

If I remember right its the window wiper motor is right in the way. Thats only the case if it has the spider manifold ( I Think? )
