Hydra outlet design ideas "completed"
- Thread starter Rob09msport
- Start date
Filippo
Honestly if I worked in shop I'd be all up in those grey areas I do it all time in my field cause i know the true limits of things and what specs or guidelines are really just to be idiot proof or lawyer proof but when I am not in the circle I stay in my lane especially if I involve another party. I know what it's like when customers supply garbage and want me to use it plus their usually the first ones to blame a failure of their crap on someone else , I don't want be that guy.
I'll be calling to see if I can get pics shortly I have to go straight home today cause my 5yr old sick and my 14yr old has birthday party to go to so I can't go to shop today

Interested to see how this turns out. Will be in need shortly as well and not 100% if want to fab ourselves or just outsource to another quality fabricator.
What are you making and figures I buy turbos and now you are gonna make a high power offering lol.
I love the hydras just that if you had made a high power setup I would bought long time ago.

All good man you are doing well where you are at, post of some pics of this new outlet when you get them.
Probably for boat exhaust which also has water running thru the manifolds to keep it from being red hot

We'd planned on using 1.75" to 1.75" ID 90* couplers from each turbo into straight aluminum 1.75" OD tubing, with our CNC'd traction weld-on ends (in lieu of bead rolls). We have strategically clocked our large housing turbos to be as far as possible from the heat sources so a 350+* coupler should easily suffice, yet it still never hurts to use the best quality available couplers either. I notice a lot of talk about these high heat (500*) Aramid couplers, but are these even made in 90* bends?

I only know of straight aramid couplers, but it is a big world out there. There are alternatives to HPS in the States. Someone posted these which at $7.60 each ... no brainer. https://www.intakehoses.com/silicone-sleeve-2-id-x-3-long-matte-red-500-degree.html
@Rob@RBTurbo yes they make others with bends: https://www.intakehoses.com/product-search.html?Search=500, but they get a bit pricey.

Not too concerned about the price (within reason), however still not seeing any 1.75" to 1.75" 90* couplers. Will keep looking, but may simply not be reasonable to expect much variety in this 500* rated temp range.

This is why we are swaging a 1.88" beaded tube are 1.75" OD pipe. What's your turbo OD outlet size, Rob?

Filippo,
We started buying those large TD04 compressor covers a couple years back as a bare non-machined casting, as at the time we were finding lots of issues with the standard machining they were provided with in the years prior. At this point we began fully machining them (inside and out) in-house including an outlet that is machined to an ideal 1.75" (and inlet snout sized based on compressor wheel utilized). As they are pretty much like jewels when said and done and something we are very happy with we will continue using them with new upcoming full cast offering.
So with that we are also wishing to build some sort of newer custom outlet, especially one that works as a direct bolt-on (NOT requiring relocation of the coolant reservoir which our traditional bulky Super RB EVO Silicone Outlet required).
While there has been a few ideas kicking around in my head for a finer setup, nothing is finalized at this point; and branching out into full fab of plumbing is something that is not really of great interest to us right now either.
Thanks,
Rob

Well every supplier doesnt have aramid reducer that size so far im going nuts that other site was in Canada I sent them message cause my OCD is really fighting me especially with that pic from filippo combined with my luck . I am seeing reducers with stainless bands which those should handle 600f . I also see some that say for exhaust application but I don't see how that's possible
Shoot me a pm with the exact specs we need and I can help you search unless it's been resolved.
Let me know
This help? Not sure what size you want:
