Because I’m a tart! thats what I’ll end up doing I reckon if I can’t sort it.

I've got a not long rebuild Garrett T3 that I took off my old shonky sierra before it died of tinworm, The turbine housing is missing off it though and the standard sierra cos housing is internally gated. Anyone know what else used the T3 that I could pinch an externally gated housing off? I would stay internally gated but I don't think theres room for the wastegate actuator as its a bit tight down there (ooer!) Pic for OSS content

I know that’s why I’m trying to get all the bits on the cheap Hopefully there’s an 1127 bottom end going that I can trade bits for and I’ll just give that a refresh. Fingers crossed all the bearings will be within spec

I would prefer not to pull my 1052 to bits to be honest but it comes down to pennies at the end of the day! I've rather foolishly set myself a bit of a challenge to see how cheaply I can stick a turbo motor together!! I've got the run of a decent machine shop and loads of bits to trade/swap so I'll see what I can find. Got 1127 barrels, turbo headers and busa pistons and a load of other odds and sods off a mate, there may be an 1127 bottom end coming my way too that needs a rebuild so fingers crossed if I can get that I'll keep the 1052 in one piece Then it'll just be shells and gaskets to pay proper money for!

Are all the heads interchangeable too? So far I’m looking at a set of 1127 barrels rebored to suit my pistons; then either build up a bitsa 1127 bottom end or use my 1052 engine

As @MeanBean49said, I made tophats to put the swingarm slightly offset to centralise the wheel to the frame. Using an oil cooled engine too so I'm unsure what the alignment would be like with a proper EF engine. I mustve struck lucky with my wheel swingarm combo as theres wasn't any need for machining on the wheel. Just a few spacers to knockup

I've got a mint tinkered with T3 off my old shonky sierra but the exhaust housing went AWOL when I lent it to someone for mocking up Also the flange that's on these headers is only 2mm thick and bodged on to boot. I'll make one out of some 8mm plate I've got kicking about. Need to find a plenum now!

Brilliant thanks @Captain Chaosand @clivegto Looks like this will be a goer then once I’ve stuck a new flange on it and found a T3 turbine housing!

Anyone have the measurements to hand? Nowhere near the bike for a few days and I’ve been given some turbo headers but I’ve no idea what they’re off!

I’ve had a mooch through the archives and can’t really find anything definitive; Whats interchangeable between the two 1100 engines? I’m currently mooching and swapping to get bits to put a turbo engine together, I’ve got 1127 barrels and busa pistons and another member in here has gifted me a load of bits and bobs but I don’t want to jump into a building the engine without knowing what’ll work and what won’t! Will an 1127 crank go into 1052 cases or 750 cases for that matter? Would I need to match the clutch baskets to whatever crank I use? I know I’m best finding a complete 1127 to rebuild but I haven’t got 500 quid kicking about!

I’m running an oil cooled 1052 engine in my EFE, can’t afford a proper engine for it! im currently scrounging 1127 bits though so might end up 1216 yet!

The EFi may well end up on my EFE once Iget my head round it. That'll be 1196cc with these pistons and a Garret T3 hanging off the front

Just to add to this, K8 swingarm, Gen2 busa wheel, 1052 engine. Flipped the rear sprocket and used a 6mm spacer behind the front sprocket, 530 chain. All lines up perfect

Nice one Jack, hows your 750 going? Still havent got my EFi'd 750 running yet. Kept losing sync with the crank pulse, it was down to wiring and 3 duff batteries in the end. Gonna get back on with it in the new year

Not if the pistons and sleeving are free!

Warm rods, chilled bronze bushes then ream out to correct size once they're pressed in I reckon

That’s the kind of positivity I need! off to do some research on putting 1127 barrels on my 1052 bottom end....

It’ll defeat the object of getting free pistons if I’ve got to buy rods is sleeving the little end of the rods a viable option?

It’ll be an oil boiler of some description. If the Gen2 pistons can be taken out to 20mm and still give the same CR as a Gen1 then I’m sorted I think. I can get some Gen2 for practically free and machining done FOC too

Been done to death I’m sure but can see anything in the search so... whats the script with busa pistons? Are Gen2 pistons any good to use? Or is the wrist pin the wrong diameter?

Salford if I'm not mistaken I'll be up for that

I'll be up for sticking my Efelump on the stand.

@Ben SlabbyHad a fag packet sketch that did the trick for me

Search further down the forum, I'm using a MK2 bandit loom with a chinky ignition switch. Benslabby stuck a working diagram up for me, I unpinned the plug into the cdi and soldered a 100ohm resistor onto the side of the plug and grounded that to the battery and left the loom intact

Yeah it should do so long as I have the correct pick up with it. have you got one you want to part with?
