Shelby CSX-VNT
I am looking for a gasket for my grandfathers Shelby CSX-VNT.
We recently had to take apart the engine because he blew the head gasket. In taking apart the engine we had to take off a lot more to get at the header. Some how we lost the high temp gasket for the turbo. The part that attaches the turbo to the engine was a Shelby specific design and we cant find a new gasket anywhere that works. I am branching out here to see if anyone knows where about i might be able to get one. :uhh: |
Pics? I have a hard time believing the turbine inlet is custom to Shelby.
|
Next time i get over there i will take a picture of it.
I am trying to find a specific diagram that shows it. It has something to do with the Chrysler engine and the VNT turbo from Garrett. A good analogy of this part that we need a gasket for it like a converter that makes a round peg fit in a triangle shape hole. |

Thanks i will call around and see if they have one.:fingersx: |
I doubt that variable nozzle turbo, ergo the VNT designation, is easy to find parts for these days. A nearly 25 year old Garrett turbo on a car that they only made 500 examples (plus two prototypes). Good luck, that's a rare and really cool car you have. Especially if the VNT turbo system is still intact!

And my grandfather's number is in the low 300's i think its 305 of 500 in production but not sure. I will get a pic of that too some time and post it. The reason i am pushing to get this and put it together for him so i can drive it but really its a surprise!!! lol |
