I'm planning on testing out a new hybrid turbo.

This one does not come with the OEM turbine housing though, so it's just a round flange.

What's the best way connecting the turbo outlet to the standard piping?

Cheers ..

Yeah 90 degree silicone hose looks ugly and cheap too but it does work so long as you can keep it away from the exhaust manifold; or you will be replacing it often.

Another option is to pull the compressor cover off and take it to a fabricator to weld a 90 degree bend on the outlet

Charge tubing design affects the overall performance, so there are a few points to keep in
mind to get the best performance from your system.
Duct bend radius:
Radius/diameter > 1.5
Avoid area changes, sharp transitions, shape changes

I could possibly find some smoothly bend alloy tubes ( or even silicone ones)

The compressor outlet? Has a 90 degree hardpipe bolted to it on the stock turbo, dont understand what the problem with airflow with a silicon 90 degree bend would cause?

Agree a 100%, looks cheap.. also I'm not a huge fan of stubby silicone bits ..

The welding option sounds like a good idea.

Take it from a professional aerodynamicist (of sorts)......A 90° bend at the turbo outlet will cost you absolutely bugger all compared to any other option you could come up with.

Yes, the bend is still in the cards ... best practices solution

You would be going for absolute max power to care for a split second about that bend.

I am amused at humans ability to really focus on and worry about stuff that doesn't matter, while huge issues go by unnoticed. Have you ported the cylinder head? That will gain much more than whether you manage to increase the radius of a bend slightly.

Or use no intercooler. That gets rid of heaps of power robbing bends. (Use water injection)

What is a hybrid turbo? Aren't they shit anyway?

0.005kW by not using a silicone bend ummkay, that way you won't loose power from the silicone bend expanding ever so slightly.

I use a 4 ply silicone bend, hasn't exploded and get trashed on the track every few months. It regularly sees over 1.5bar through it too.

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
