Turbo housing bolt
Turbo Mini Forums

Hi

Does anyone have any spare of these bolts? i am missing one, Its a GT15

Nick,

Could you clock the housing to get that oil drain pointing downwards? It would be a lot easier to plumb up.

For the bolt, take one out, measure it up and just order some from a fixings place.

If something is worth doing, it's worth doing half of.

You need to clock it so the feed is at the top. The drain relies on gravity.

How would i clock it mate?

This is how it sits at the moment before i had it adjusted but would still be at the same angle.



any decent fixing places in sheff/barnsley i can take it to?

Cheers
Nick

Turn the centre housing so that the drain points down and the feed points up.

If something is worth doing, it's worth doing half of.

Guessing this is done by undoing the bolt i need?

The exhaust housing is fixed as it has to attach to the manifold. Undo the bolts on the exhaust housing to rotate the centre section to where it needs to be. Then undo the bolts you have highlighted red to rotate the compressor housing to where it needs to be. Done.

Cheers Tom

I am also missing a stud into the exhaust housing, are they anything special or just the same as a manifold head stud?

Turbo parts will likely be metric, Mini parts will be imperial.

But the bolts you're after should just be fairly readily available bolts.
