Tomorrow I'll cut some tubing to fashion a hanger and I found some new rod ends in a box I almost threw out.
I have 2 left hand thread male and two rights on threaded Aluminum shafts that are the right length I can use.
The left hand turbo is going to be tougher to set up. It would be cool to have mirror image units but it is what it is.
These are stressful but exciting times.
Everything seems to happen and come together in a sequence I can't figure. Strange things but timely.
Here I am working to set the turbo up and the missus says I have visitors at the gate.
Matthew, a friend and client needs work done but he's lost my phone number so he comes over.
With him are his new business partners. Young guys but turbo experts. They quickly pointed out that the stock inlet wheel wasn't suited for high RPM and that a flange would need to be welded onto the housing to accommodate a V band clamp.
Their current project is a late 60s Renault Dauphine with a 2L Mazda turbo conversion.
Lets just say the back seats were removed.
I get to build panels to isolate the cabin from the motor.
That will pay for material I never had money for.
Another "strange" miracle.
