A different approach to making a non turbo engine cross member into a turbo cross member. Instead of the verbal instructions or text to make a scallop cut and invert that scallop, weld back in, or cut to suit a pipe, weld pipe in type methods.
Putting this method out just not in a pictorial step by step
I looked at it, made a cut across the bend, and then down the entire section, so, roughly a round circle marked out, roughly cut to quarter it and applied careful, precise whacks with a mid size bfh to get desired shape.
I had no removing metal steps, just reshaping of the flaps that remained after cuts, bits overlapping each other
Took above described mess to a welder who did it in no time flat with a big momma MIG unit welded top and underside overlaps, and filled the voids that appeared due to reshaping. Fifgured the fewer cuts, the stronger this modification would be. Though, also have MKI cross member being trialled, welded by moir and looks to be holding up over 150,000km or more
just no ID marks to satisfy engineers He also stamped the job right near the welds with his issued boiler maker id number. With that, I sanded his ID numbers to bare metal, covered with a piece of electrical tape before spraying with shiny epoxy paint. If a certifier needs to inspect numbers, tape can be peeled. Just noticed numbers are now visible top side of the tape after paint applied and set
If need be, I can also get the welding wire reel number to further ID what material went into it.EA82T Brumby is another step closer to happening
) But I guess at least you've covered your ass. Not much of a scollop required either, is it quite a small up pipe?
