Turbos it is! Here for all to see! So, what do you all do if you need/want a Turbo thats not made, either in plastic, or resin? WELL heres what I do!  Notice, the spool of solder? This is the Turbo Turbine, and Blower parts, there are 4 of them. 2 per turbo (remember this is a TWIN-Turbo set-up). The brass "Turbo center", VERY important for a set up like this keeps EVERYTHING on the same horizon to the engine as long as your exhaust headers are horizontally even. Side to side mounting is VERY important too, it must be long enough, cut it a bit "long" trim when all together.....   Notice the solder is bent tightly around that brass pipe? This is how ALL of this will be made! The brass is left "long" and will be trimmed a bit and then trimmed again, later as you'll see! NOT glued at this point. A bit more has to be done first!  Notice the '57 300's engine setting here, the brass has been trimmed BUT not "short" it will need trimmed to length one more time! ALWAYS allow for mistakes! You see 4 of the solder made parts, 2 Exhaust turbines, 2 turbo blowers....  Now for some details. Turbo "flange" ring material.....THIN solder!   This shows HOW I made those really little Turbo "flange" rings to fill the void on the set-up. More to follow! |

So, now to continue.....I got one side "started" BUT be careful, you must leave some on one end or the other specially when doing tins side-by-side...   Notice where the Turbo "Flange" ring is in the picture, its labeled, but, it also hides where the solder exhaust turbine meets the turbo center.....These rings? need to have 2 PER turbine intake or power, so in the center, it will have 2 side-by-side.   Seen here is the 2 rings BETWEEN or pinched in from the 2 turbine parts, this completes ONLY ONE SIDE!  For posing sake, here is the left-hand side done, awaiting the right hand side.... Right-hand side to come! Stay tuned! Again, more to follow! |

So now off to the right-hand side of the turbo set up......  Notice, the WHOLE right-hand side set-up is LOOSE! You HAVE TO, get the distance just right on the outer most Exhaust Turbine.....Once that much is set and glued in place, you can go on to assemble it with super glue (CA)....   NOW I'm sure all of you who don't know are wondering where does the exhaust go? (IT POWERS the turbine, which spins the turbine to blow clean air into the engine! BUT the exhaust is just that, it comes out the CENTER of the Exhaust Turbine:   Yet again, more to follow! |

THEN for those people, who are learning......The air intake is in the middle! CENTER of BOTH turbo's! See:    Now this center air intake? It can have a short pipe topped with a K&N air filter, OR can go to something that comes in from the hood, the grill, you name it, FRESH AIR IS BEST! NOT "heated" air from inside the engine compartment! These can be made ANYWAY you need them too, I just made them fit a car that was lowered, to the ground a bit, AND no holes in the hood! For yet another monthly contest! Hope you enjoy! Parts List: > > 1/8th inch thick Solder. > > .062 inch "Thin" solder. > > 1/8th inch Brass OR Aluminum pipe "Tubing" -STRAIGHT (NOT curved stuff or bent). > > 5/32nd inch Aluminum Tubing (For turbo connection "Collars". > > Choice of favorite CA type glue. |

Now, THIS is an in depth tutorial! This is great stuff! Thanks so much for posting this. Although this is installed on a beautiful MOPAR engine, I'm sure it can be utilized on just about any build!

Now, THIS is an in depth tutorial! This is great stuff! Thanks so much for posting this. Although this is installed on a beautiful MOPAR engine, I'm sure it can be utilized on just about any build! Bucky, Yeah this is on a 392 Hemi (I am collected to only building Mopars as I made a promise to the Wife! As I have a REALLY big "collecting Gene" from both my parents) but to that, the turbo's can be adapted to anything, AND I think (Haven't tried yet) but I think, I can even make them a bit smaller and maybe even a bit bigger if I have different diameter solder OR malleable metal rod..... (I won't use pipe, it kinks, when bent!) Solid bar works GREAT! But I make these for trade too, (I'm always lookin' for Mopar parts to either use, or mold, whatever the case may be, I offer a lot of the resin engine parts you see in my builds for trade as I make them all in-house! Just like these turbo's! Heck, IF the need is great enough, I'd trade boat loads of parts for full kits I'm looking for and can't get locally (I'm really in a area that doesn't have much to offer for model building! Micheal's and Hobby Lobby right now are my only choices and sadly, I can't order online or from Ebay as I don't have paypal or a credit card so I do a bunch of trading..... |
