Turbo Clocking Angles

Posted

Does anyone have good knowledge of what the turbo angles should be?  As best as I could estimate on my truck with the current turbo installed (due to rust, certain components will be destroyed upon removal - and I don't have a spare vehicle right now) it seems:

  1. the exhaust manifold mounting flange is 48 degrees (measured from horizontal).  EDIT:  May be closer to 50 degrees based on my truck, after removing turbo for better measurement.
  2. The compressor outlet is "around" 20 degrees from horizontal.  EDIT:  I'd say I would up more around 25 degrees or a little steeper to keep everything very well aligned and no stress on the rubber boot.

 

I would like to change the turbo back this weekend, and really want to get my turbo clocked correctly this evening so I have just one less thing to worry about after taking a Sawzall/smoke wrench to certain parts of my truck.  I have failed so far at getting that compressor snap ring back in, so once it gets back in I don't want to have to make corrections!

Any help appreciated!  I don't have the right tool to measure that compressor discharge flange angle.  I removed the boot/elbow one evening this week to measure the angle, but then discovered I haven't the right tool to do so.  @dripley this may interest you once I get the data.  Hopefully we can further refine the path blazed by @Blueox01 so BenzeForce can just offer these turbos already setup for our application.

Here are 2 tools that work quite nicely:

 

Lang 87 (USA made) and ATD 4031M (Taiwan, but well made)

 

In the pictures the blue handled one is the ATD.  I prefer the Lang, but they both will remove and install an HX35 snap ring(HX35 snap ring in pictures).

I would like to thank @Joe_Poolfor the info on toold. Picked up the Lang and it looks very suited to the job,

Dripley, you made an excellent choice.  Gotta love the Made in USA!

 

Note:  Loctite the silver tip on the lead screw, I have had them "walk" off occasionally.
