5 GT Turbo Alpine Turbo Project

IMG_1081.webp IMG_1080.webp IMG_1078.webp Offering parts up to the engine or more like trying to remember where everything goes, but can see a problem with the alternator bracket. Adey would you know if the le car turbo had a modified bracket when it ran the group. 2 manifold or am I doing something wrong. I know the pullies on the water pump aren't correct yet. Thanks
 
i think it ran where you had it, what issue are you having? i did end up fitting mine above the manifold. I think your water pump pulley is on backwards also which might line them up better

The pump pully is definately backwards and will be doubled with the larger pully but I can't see how to get the alt bracket above the manifold without modifying it, I did look at a picture of your engine bay
 
i think i tapped one of the water pump bolts and used it as a fixing point for the alt, and then possibly used the bracket as a tension fixing. cant remember off the top of my head though so ill try and look through some pics to refresh my mind. Might be worth looking into something smaller too. i did look into some alternators off a fork lift to fit on at one point
 
Turbo Advice
I am finally process of purchasing a turbo for the car, I was going to buy the Garrett Gt2554r turbo and have a manifold made with a T25 fixing plate but simpson want 1200£ plus the dreaded so that's out of the question for now !
Has any one used a T3 to T25 adaptor, or are there any other turbos you could recommend?

Cheers
Gary
 
You could use t3-25 adaptor no problem if you have the room. Could even get the t3 flange chopped off and a t25 flange sweated on if its doable. If im right the dini has a short cast part that bolts to the exhaust manifold before turbo ?
 
Made contact with Matt of fusion fabrication and car is booked for new Manifold, Matt also does efi conversions so is very knowledgeable, and has a 5 GT turbo Thanks Gary
