Turning a turbo

[dazza85]

Hi ya all,

the postion of the outlet on the air side of the turbo on my 89 bighorn needs to move 1/6 of a turn to fit the intercooler.
there are 3 bolts on clamp type washers and 3 bolts through the waste gate control mount.
Some of them are blocked by oil and water tubes.
Is there an easy way to do this or do I have to strip it all off to turn it around ??

strip it pull it there is no easy way there is also a couple of brass dowels locating the centre area still.

Good luck

Thanks Steve, I had a feeling that would be the case
But I was hoping

Thanks for the comment about the dowels, I did not know they were there.

Oh well ... I guess I know what I am doing tomorrow night

I didn't know you could turn the isuzu turbo's, or is it just the crappy 3.1 you can't?

[mud_slinger]

pretty sure you can

[Steve_t647]

You should be able to turn any of them, but you will have to redrill holes for the internal dowels.

It has been a while since I had one apart but they are pretty much all the same internally that is why you can change impellers and housings between brands.
