RonnieJ Posted June 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 24, 2012 Seems like I won't be able have every variation of turbo that people are running. If it's not a oem 12A it may better to send me your hot side or have it have it done locally Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RonnieJ Posted June 29, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 29, 2012 (edited) Got in one of the exhuats housing I bought and started working on it. I removed the broken bolt, removed the studs, decked the dp side, and started porting the inlet. Going to work out this flange issue next week. Once I get that sorted im going to do a before and after dyno of the downpipe gains Before http://sphotos.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ash3/528310_430015817019035_810591484_n.jpg Afterhttp://sphotos.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ash4/314849_2245785520738_1643416056_n.jpg Edited June 29, 2012 by RonnieJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ironside Posted July 1, 2012 Report Share Posted July 1, 2012 Wish I could, its the only one I have. Tyler had it made ( Frenchie ).He made a kick butt down pipe in his build thread that I would like to duplicate when I have time.Its somewhere around page 20 in this build thread. http://img851.imageshack.us/img851/5659/sdc11683.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RonnieJ Posted July 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2012 (edited) Looking for a waterjet or CNC shop to make a downpipe flange. The DSM flange is close but not enough to work.

RonnieJ Posted December 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2012 I know ive been gone for a bit just been super busy with work. Anyway working on getting these flanges cut soon. Will finish up on the rapid protypes this week and go get some quotes. One will be 3D machined to taper from the oem goofy pattern to 1.75" pipe and the other cut like oem. First one my buddy did just to get the initial drawing done http://sphotos-h.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash3/44708_2609134244229_551455762_n.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Funky Phil Posted December 12, 2012 Report Share Posted December 12, 2012 Why use the stock housing? It would be more cost effective to just build it for the already divorced housing. Just do it upright. Then anyone with a swapped 4g6 could use this aswell. Plus it would be P&P for any mitsu housed aftermarket turbines (PTE/Bullseye etc...) Then YOU arent wasting time trying to find good cores and have to machine, weld, and build a new pattern. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RonnieJ Posted December 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2012 Why the OEM housing, because I dont plan to go to a dif turbo until this one is done. When I do there all already proper flanges out to be used. No time being wasted at all honestly. Worse case I make one for my car and thats it. Its not that hard welding the flap shut on the housing. I have 3 good housings I can use so that isnt an issue either. I dont see how it will work having a swapped car if I dont have access to one. There is no guarantee it will fit so I wouldnt do it.

RonnieJ Posted March 15, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2013 Im going with a water jet cut flange rather than a 3D machined flange. Cost was too much for what it is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RonnieJ Posted April 20, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2013 Finally have a batch of flanges cut. I may do 10 on this run.
