Adding a turbo to a 240 with factory slant. Pictures.
For anybody interested in adding a turbo to there 240 here is what I did. You can use a factory D24T manifold and mount the turbo directly to it, there is plenty of room using a T3, not sure on a hybrid T3/T4. I did not go this route because you would need to add a oil scavange pump for the turbo drain. ( Turbo drain line should be above the oil line in the pan with a 15 degree slope or more) What I did was built a connecting "up" pipe to move the turbo up and forward. I'm not sure if I will have room for the internal wastegate. I have the drain line into the pan right behind the AC pump, I welded a 1/2" NPT bung and put a -10 fitting on it. I relocating my oil filter using a Canton racing remote oil filter mount for Ford small block ( I can still use the Napa gold 1333 filter), At the oil filter mount I will have the oil feed to the turbo. For cooling the oil I will be a using a B&M supertec oil cooler, it has a built on fan and thermostat. I will be mounting that under the intercooler. I will post more pictures of cooler/drain/filter mount ect.. later.
