GN Owners... READ ASAP!!

Hey,


Any of you who have GNs I have a question for you. I'm in need of a stock GN turbo inlet.... the two bolt inlet snout that goes on the front of the compressor section. As long as its useable, no biggie.... I have a new turbo and i needs me one.

I don't have one, sorry. I got rid of my stock turbo a while ago.

Maybe you know this already, but the stock inlet bells have a port for the valvecover breather. You'd have to have it ground off & welded shut. By the time you do & pay for that, you'd probably be better off to buy a new bell without the port. They are about $75

Yep, I knew that! The Thunderbird actually uses the same system. The port on the T-bird snout is actually threaded, with a metal line with a small length of hose connecting it to the can on the valve cover. I'm going yo acme machining tomorow to see if I can just get a couple flanges made. I really want to go to HWY100 this next weekend, so I need to get this on the car and running right before then.

I'd vote for a new one, part of your problem has been fixing this thing si9nce it has been cobbled together. $75 isn't that bad, you have well more then 10X that now. My two wooden nickels

Damn, I just got rid of a billet one a few weeks ago!

Awww..... That sucks.


Anyways, The housings are exactly the same with the exception of the flanges..... so I had the top flange milled off to fit a hose, and I DID find a GN snout for 15 bucks, so I'm GTG.
