[NashMan]

i have no issue wiht mine so far the dip stick may hit but gonna make new one any way


nice stian less brake line hehehe i thinking steel brade line but we will see how cheep i am when it come's to doing it

Guys. Ran into a bit of a problem. I need pics of your wastegate setups on the ssautochrome mani.... I think they welded my flange on backwords...

 

[IJ.]

Jon: They're all 90 degrees out......

 

[MDCmotorsports]

Ian thats what I was affraid of. The dump on the WG either faces towards the block or the right front fender well.

Time to get the cut off wheel out and the TIG welder eh?

 

[NJsupraA70]

Im thinking of making a t4 to t4 flange with a piece of square tubine between them, and twisting the top flange so that the turbo is pointed towards the right front headlight.

thats an excellent idea.

.

Agreed

 

[IJ.]

Jon: LOL yep
(I'm internal gate so I capped it off and ignored it!)

John, these are the only pics I have of my WG flange I made.

Sorry, if I need to get you better pics, let me know... also.. I'll be glad to test out the first SSAutochrome manifold spacer you make.

humm well i got my new tail gate and it sure the fuck don't fit but lucky me the gate came wiht flnages for every thign so i good to go

it's welding time

correct me if im wrong but dont turbo makes state that oil feed must be directly ontop of turbo ??? not out the side like some of u guys have

 

[MDCmotorsports]

The turbo drain can be up to 15 deg tilted. Some are less @ 10 deg. But no the center section doesn't have to be 90 deg up and down to drain.

Don't forget some turbos are oil and water cooled... you may see a hose to the side that's actually coolant.

Mine is just oil cooled and lubricated... and it's directly on top.

 

[NashMan]

I'm not stupid.

then how come you wraped your header with dirty hands lazy comes to mind hehehhe j/k

but yae i was thinking on wrapping mine but i don't know yet remmber it's only 404 stainless with not to great welds from what i see

 

[Justin727]

ceramic coat that sob. thats what i did

 

[MDCmotorsports]

Brents and I both manifold are 300 series stainless. 316/304/308 Im not sure.

As for the wastegate flange, I cut it off via cut off abrasive wheel and welded it back on. Looks great now and the welds are better than the ones that came on the unit.
