SLO-030 Posted April 9, 2008 Author Report Posted April 9, 2008 (edited) yea mate, looks like i'll be doing the manifold like that then. saves alot of hassle. thanks for ur input, greatly appreciated. (taz rx) where did u get your turbo flanges from? the turbo i got doesnt have any at all. if i can't find and i'll mill some nice thick ones up. and KE ping it real, i had a look at that before but its a bit much for my budget keep in mind i only paid 200 for the car, i'll probably do what taz did and convert a hi-lux airfilter box. but thanks for the offer anyways.

Taz_Rx Posted April 9, 2008 Report Posted April 9, 2008 Just get some laser cut. Might be $50 for both turbo flanges....and these CAN be mild steel, just not the actual pipe work. Quote
SLO-030 Posted April 9, 2008 Author Report Posted April 9, 2008 Just get some laser cut. Might be $50 for both turbo flanges....and these CAN be mild steel, just not the actual pipe work. yeah we deal with laser cutters thru work so i'll see if i can get it done thru work. its more like 4 flanges, 1 for the dump, 1 for the turbine inlet, 1 for the oil supply and 1 for the coolant. so if i can't get them laser cut i'll get them CNC machined at tech skool. i kno they can be mild steel so it makes it easy, do u recomend a certain thickness? i was lookin at bout 1/2in thick and the thread on the studs doesnt go down enough for a flange to be much thinner.

Taz_Rx Posted April 9, 2008 Report Posted April 9, 2008 10mm would be fine. :hmm: With your water and oil flanges....PM a member here by the name of Roids70, who's actually on line now and ask him if he's still using the fittings I gave him for the CT26, as they're the same. :D Quote

SLO-030 Posted April 11, 2008 Author Report Posted April 11, 2008 OK went down the laser cutters to get a quote. but they can't take a scannin of what they need to make for bolt holes beacaus the studs are still in. i don't really wanna take the studs out and then have to be put back in. So does anybody know where to get turbo gaskets in adelaide that are pretty inexpensive. Oh and talked to my mechanic that did all the mech work on my ute and he reckons its a good idea and should go well and plus it'll be a bit of learning for me. CHEERS Ryan Quote
fusion Posted April 11, 2008 Report Posted April 11, 2008 Studs are pretty easy to take out with the right tools. Just need a socket - stud adapter (don't know the official title) around ~8mm and a ratchet. Ask your mechanic if he has the right tool :) Quote
SLO-030 Posted April 11, 2008 Author Report Posted April 11, 2008 nah not gonna take the studs out. i'll grab a gasket for both flanges i need as i think it'll be easier to scan a gasket rather than straight off the turbo. If any body in adelaid wants the details of laser cutters i went to PM me. as i siad above we deal with them thru work and always do a good job. CHEERS Ryan Quote
