Clio 3 RS F1 Team R27 Meglio - it will be a trackcar

Thought already about it, but then i have to change the complete Setup.
New Turbo or Exhaust housing
New Adapter to manifold or complete new manifold
no solution for now.


i will weld the studs

just the adapters for turbo base & the exhaust manifold. I believe they are available separately to be used on existing turbo. You will also need a professional for Laser welding. You can retain the Exhaust housing and just get a new set of bolts with bolt lock tube.
 
So, here we finally continue.

Finally everything I need has arrived.
1. The turbocharger was milled at the screw and sealing surfaces at the Berlin Turbo Center
2. Studs were welded into the turbo/manifold adapter plate
3. Turbocharger was assembled with Nissan locking plate, Nordlock washers and self-locking copper nuts.
4. The original stud bolts that held the turbocharger to the manifold are now replaced by titanium bolts with lockwire.

I hope nothing comes loose now :-D

Here are a few photos:

It does not look like nord-lock washers to me? Or have you just used half of the washer? Or is it just my eyes?
 
It is it is.
On some photos you dont see the "half".
On the last picture you see the "half"a little bit, and on the fifth too.
its this:

Long time no see.

Had a lot of trouble with this sh1t adapter system to fit the Garrett Turbo. Each trackday loose and loose again, nothing helped.
Now - going for tubular manifold with v-band. Changed the exhaust housing for it.
And fitted clio cup roof scoop today.
Drexler limited slip diff incoming too.

Can't wait to see this beast in action. Amazing build.
You did mention at you last post that you changed the surge tank to raceworks and internal pump, Yet the surge tank is still there? I'm asking this cause I'm having radium surge tank in my Meglio and was considering going back to in-tank uprate fuel pump sometime in near future.

Yeah, maybe its poorly expressed. I am from Germany, sorry .
I mean that i changed to a surge tank to one from raceworks with an internal pump (u cant see it). My old one had a 044 Style and looked out of the surge tank and was very loud because of this.
I already have an Upgrade in my in-tank from first Setup and this fills up the surge tank - depends on what Setup you running. Clio 3 rs or m2rs have no returnline in Stock, so i cant run it anymore because i need to have fitting to billet rail and return from fuel Regulator (1:1 ratio with more boost).
