this is the Turbo I will be using.

It is a T4 40 trim compressor wheel with a T3 .48 a/r stage II turbine wheel.

is that ball bearing or just thrust bearing

Nice turbo header making bits. Are you planing to get it ceramic coated after your done.?
Nice turbo header making bits. Are you planing to get it ceramic coated after your done.?Yes, do you happen to know of a place in western Canada that does ceramic coating? I haven't looked around yet to see if there is somewhere local that can do it.

Nope. I have not looked around for a place either.
I found this one in Winterpeg. http://www.nationalcoating.com/Plasma_Spraying/plasma_spraying.html

Thats cool. Never head of plasma spraying before.
Way to make me feel even more shame for my boxed steel log manifold.
:finger:
That's a sweet setup.
What are you using for the flange to the head?
Is the turbo going to be side mounted, or is that just a pretty way to show us your piping?
I gotta bottom mount mine :( stupid FWD turbos.
As for coatings, if you have a spray gun and access to air, you can always DIY.
Stuff like

retails for under $100 US a pint, sprays on, good to 2500ºF ...
I was looking at getting a head flange either lazer cut or water cut, but to make it worth while I would need to have at least 20 made up. I think I'll see if I can start a group buy for the 20 to bring costs down.
I will be making it a top mount with the turbo facing strait forward if possible.
that was my plan until I physically held the turbo assembly in place ... I could do it, but it would require a custom O2 housing, and with my T2 dead, I don't have the time to dick around anymore.
Just gotta make it work ... *grr*
Are they really going to hose you that bad for the flange?
Did you want a 1 piece, or individual pieces, 1 for 2 ports dealy?
I'm going to be getting a 1 piece lazer cut shortly, and for free. I could ask him to do another one ... can't see it being very $
It's a computer guided lazer thing ... all he does is scan the EM gasket, and the computer will cut it out of whatever quality/gauge thickness I want.
He made my adapter plates, and they were great ... just my design sucked *lol*
Actually, if you have a design in mind beyond mine, and it will work with my design (pretty sure it would *lol* ... think RUDIMENTARY) I could just get them cut to your specs.

Actually, if you have a design in mind beyond mine, and it will work with my design (pretty sure it would *lol* ... think RUDIMENTARY) I could just get them cut to your specs.That would be fantastic if you could get me a .5" think flange, I don't care if it's a 1 piece or a 2 piece flange. The place locally will do it but they charge $69 just it input the design into their CNC torch, thats why I thought it would be better to just have 20 made to spread the cost abit. Let me know what you can do and how much and I'll send you the money.
ok, I'm going to be seeing the guy tonight, so I'll just ask him to make a second one.
Last time he cut me a couple plates, it was free. His dad owns and runs the shop, so it's not likely there will be any cost beyond shipping.
I'll get it done, and send it out. If it works out, and you're happy with it, you can just owe me for the shipping.
I WANT A NEW MANIFOLD !!!! I will pay for one if you have it.

shit. if anyone that can make a new manifold that will bolt up to what I have....I will buy it. As long as it is better than the stocker and is built to some sort of spec like equal length tubes and stock flange mounting.

Can I get in on this deal? I need a set of those flanges too...
Eeep, 3 might be a bit much to ask ... but I'll see what I can do.
I want tooo :< *hates Sweden and large shipping costs*
