Farm stock IH tractor. One group requires the the 3lm-466 turbo, other group has open charger rule. My other turbo is a borg warner s366. Is it easier to cut down the outlet on the 366 exhaust housing to fit inside the stock ih exhaust elbow? Or is it just as easy to grab another 3lm exhaust housing and fit it to the s366? Any thoughts or experiences to share? I want to keep the factory elbow because I am using the original tank and dont want to have to take care of two different sheetmetal pieces. Thanks. |

At one time I had Carl at area diesel modify to fit the factor elbow on a s366 worked nice Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 06/14/2015 10:32AM by andrew1086. |

Could you send me a pic or a better description of what he did? I think I can chuck my housing up in a lathe and turn down the output flange to slip inside the factory elbow, but thought that maybe using the same exhaust housing for both turbos would be easier... |

I have a pretty good plan worked out. I made a jig this afternoon that allowed me to chock up my s366 exhaust housing in the lathe and machined down the output to the same diameter as the 3lm outlet ring that adapts it to the elbow. I ordered a new cast elbow and ring for the 3lm, and when that stuff shows up, I will be able to make the Borg Warner bolt right in place of the 3lm. Will make things a lot easier. I need to shave just a little bit off of the base of the Borg Warner housing so that they line up exactly the same. If anyone else needs this done, let me know. Neil @ 608-317-7321. |
