Hi My second turbo center housing is cracked so I'm asking you guys what you think of welding the bearing to the Center housing instead of the snap ring? Only issue I see is next service but then I can grind/mill it out. IMG_20190826_194903.jpeg Sent from my CLT-L29 using Corvair Forum mobile app

Ok, thats why I couldn't find it in the manual or parts list. Thanks for the explanation.

Hi, my turbo was disassembled when I bought the car and now it's time to make it run again, But when I assembled it yesterday I thought the wheels was hard to spin and I found that the heat shield was in contact with the exhaust wheel and not push all the way back by the exhaust housing. Then I reme...

Thanks, but do you think I need the bellows here in Sweden?

I was thinking the same way before I saw that the housing was cracked on the other side were the snap ring will sit. So it will go into the garbage bag..

Hi, I find a housing that has the same flange on californiacorvair.com but it´s not axactley the same model. I have tried to pry it out but it seems to be forged together.. I think I will try to find i new one but I have just find used ones. http://californiacorvairparts.com/2471-rayjay-turbo-bearin...

Many thanks for your inputs. I think I build a correct EM engine except for the later turbocharger. I will limit the boost with a wastegate. Meanwhile I can learn and build a 164 Turbo with the right parts. I'm also building a prostreet 61 bubbletop so the Corvair will be my daily car. And here in S...

This is what I have, the turbo came in parts when I bought my Corsa.

Hi, was going through my turbo today and stumbled upon this (see pic). The heat shield interfaces with the center section becouse of a "lip" around the hole and I can't see other housings having that. Or I'm I missing something? http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20161228/f04ea8e1db654c99d26f...

We discussed late case, late 8409 crank with early cylinders, pistons, rods and heads. Anyone that running that combo with turbo? I read that 80hp and 150 heads have the same cc and will do the same job on my turbo motor, is that true?

What if I use the EM heads aswell, will the CR be too high?

Hi all. I have too many motors and parts for my -65 Corsa so I can´t determine which to use. unfortunately I don´t have the right RL 180 Turbo engine so What do you think will be the best combo for my Turbo build? I have 4 sets of unused EM barrels and pistons, many cams incl. ISKY cams. Any benefit...
