btw, i think i have that manifold+adapter and the WG behind it in my stash nowdays, aquired it when i bought a bunch of 931 spares.

A joakim pic I don't have, thanks. I remember and have pics of his welded up log and I think I have seen this adpater from different angles. Easy enough obviously.
I'll try this HF wheel first and see how it goes. Its only because I needed to rebuild the turbo (it needed major rebuilding) and I had this damaged S1 housing to play with. I have been welding a head now for 6 weeks straight (a topic for another thread) so I am now sure these housings could get similar treatment. I have also thought about a billet 924 inlet homage attached to another turbo so it sorta looked like a 924 k26. This is just a thought though and I like to let the mind wander
Anyway, this HF wheel mated to #6 housing will be the for fun play for the summer. Previous set up was a S1 2664 / #6 which worked plenty fine. Its only because the turbine and bearings needed replacement due to eating something it shouldn't have.
Edit: Also adding this link here to help link all K26 turbo talk

Scanning now but will need to process...
Concerned that I will need a slight radius. So I need to pull back and check on everything before completing my cuts. Nothing hurt yet
K26/8 is on the table now...
Can't work on it tomorrow though.

Ordered a 2667 housing. My mistake throws my original idea out the window and I will have to do the curve to make it right. At least this beat up housing will be totally saved and no signs of damage will remain.
CarreraRSR - if you do a 2670 mod to a stock housing, pick a housing that isn't core shifted. In other words, the bore of the wheel curve should have equal amounts of material all around or else you will have to do some creative porting.
The 44.5 (45+mm) is already touching the valve side (top) of the bore when I increased the bore size. There was still material on the bottom side.
I looked at another good S1 housing I have and some are better centered than others. Core shift was a common problem when searching out American v8 blocks back in the day. Had to watch the cam journal entrance for evidence of core shift
Scans turned out great. Need to quit for the day. Headed out to ski
Here is a teaser K26/8 (2670) housing process pic

Alright, I'm going to try and show this in as many ways as possible. I used the "housing" outside flat on both housings as reference (where the screws for the retaining tabs screw in). This means I also have to measure the distance from that flat to the mating surfaces on each housing to see if they are the same. As it stands now without that measurement but with outside flat to outside flat being the same, there is a almost 2mm difference between the two internal flats.
See here in the ghosted picture. The 2664 starts out from its entrance cylinder inside the 2670 but then passes through to the outside. At one point they meet at one spot in their respective curvature. The 951S 2670 does not have the long straight angle to the outer flat while the 2664 comes off its inducer curvature and travels at an angle linearly for a bit before hitting exducer flat section at left side of pic
Edit: They do in fact share identical inner mating surfaces

It would seem now that if you are not careful, you may end up with a significant gap around a different wheel. This gap would be twice the original gap and maybe even more in the areas the shapes don't match
From that I conclude that this is the reason a previous attempt at a HF wheel swap caused issues. At least this is a possibility had there not been compensations in the attempt to more adequately match the new wheel.
The surprise for me is the 2mm difference between exducer exit plane height to mount flange of housing to compressor main plate
I am going to find an elegant way to make this work correctly and I suspect I will be checking my work carefully in the end with a bore scope camera
Edit: I'm have an online conversation with myself. 
Anyway, this is what I am seeing when I drop my HF wheel into the now 44.6mm opening. This CAD shot is showing new HF wheel in stock 2664 42mm housing. I can drop the wheel in but it rests somewhere on the curvature but isn't following the surface. So either find a way which includes closing that 2mm gap and modifying the curvature or 2670 wheel.

Could you deck the backside of the comp housing enough as to bring the wheel curve in enough to then machine it to match the new wheel??
As in, remove enough material from the housing-backplate mating surface so the wheel would sit deeper into it, therefore being able to remove the gap..

Make the housing sit deeper into the backplate far enough that the GREY overtakes the RED, then machine from there..
Kinda like when you would line bore a cam journal in a head, first you would need to remove enough material from the caps and bases to make the old hole smaller than the intended new hole..
Right?
Don’t feel too bad... I have conversations with myself often too..

That is the one idea I was thinking too. Its by far the easiest idea. You could do it from either the compressor back plate or the housing.
I haven't seen the UK thread but I am sure fixturing the S1 housing is one of the topics. In order to machine the housing step deeper I would have to build a better fixture or at least change around this one.
I switched afternoon efforts to my GTS center console for the CS since I can't do much on this turbo until my 2667 housing arrives for scanning
This whole thing started with me simply wanting to get the turbo ready and have something off my list. Instead more things to work through

Well...
The back side of the compressor wheel is located on the shaft via the step in the shaft, spacer washers, thrust bearing surfaces, comp side piston, etc..
Basically, if you took the material off the backplate, you would then have to move the comp wheel back to the backplate..
Or...
If you were to only remove it from the edge of where the backplate sits against the housing, that might work.. But then you will probably have to remove some from the housing where the locking tabs go over the backplate so it would still clamp..
What about scroll volume list because of this??
What about a 2660 housing instead is a 2664?
What about the scroll area differences between the 60 64 and 70?
Why do you want to use a 931 housing anyway?

I'm imagining this will be an active in process play calling sort of thing until I figure it out. Changing the housing sounds like the right approach at least for now.
I hadn't really thought about scroll volume differences since all along I was under the strange impression the 2664 S1 and 951/6 were nearly the same. This is a mistake I have been beating myself up about for 24+ hours since I carried this impression for years. So originally I thought if I just buy a modern billet wheel and tweak the housing entrance slightly I'd have a nice little upgraded stock appearing turbo.
The 2660 housing has the most meat for sure but I have yet to compare volume differences. The little angled flat section on the 924 turbos wreaks havoc on all this and requires more inventive machining.
Since I am in this deep, I'll see it through some more steps before finalizing something. I have a lot to do and I feel like I am running out of time.
Probably could check volume difference between the "8" housing and 2664 S1 easily. The scans picked up some of that even though I wasn't shooting for those sections

As expected... I will continue to see this through but now I am wondering if I will be reducing volume with any required and/or needed axial shift
The 2667 housing is a nice piece and I can tell its a modern casting that just happens to be the 951 housing PN
2667 in BLUE (apparently this one runs the tightest I have ever seen at the inducer 44.8 which I now feel the need to confirm manually)
2664 unmodified in GREY

I'm beginning to think this is doable with some tweaking.
Obviously turning in a lathe would be great but building a custom fixture with balance compensation didn't sound like fun
So it continues and its getting somewhere. That odd angle from curve to flat messes with the HF wheel extended tip geometry but really only at the extended tip once the curve is machined. Wheel fits so much better

Oh and the best part? I had the entire kooky set up broken down. I put it all back, probed, and the z height was exactly as before. A testament to the work holding idea

So it’s going to work?
Amazing modeling..

Thanks! I actually think it will if I tweak things a tad. It would be easy if the 924 Turbos had a straight or I should say flat plane that the curvature meets.
Right now the curvature is correct except the last 8mm or so of the extended tip. The angle is different. I am no wondering if I push it deeper and compensate elsewhere that it might work
The plan is get the curvature right first and see where the rest falls
Hopefully I can get a better idea tomorrow after pushing the curvature down a bit
