  wtf mate?!?!?!


i need a 6-bolt turbo flange so i can make a downpipe for my rb25 s14. i kno i can grind the stock elbow down to fit but wtf i wanna make some sweet custom **** and the stock elbow sucks anyways, i mean come on now its flat as a pancake where the wastegate dumps out. correct me if im wrong but doesnt that add alot of turbulence in the exhaust?!?!?!

so back on topic..where can i get one?!?!?!?! i check jgs tools, jwt, courtesy nissan, egay, and tried searching the web.
maybe im searching wrong?? but i can find one. so any help is appreciated

thanks

make your own flange, or you could get the ssac 6 bolt dump off ebay and chop the pipes. If you're going to go to the work of making a custom downpipe, upgrade your turbo to a T3/T4 or GT series with a 5 bolt, 4 bolt or vband dump... GL

I figured that's about how much they'd cost. It's all about $$$

yah i guess a grinder will have to do for now. i have a t3/t4 in my room with a 38mm turbosmart wastegate so when its time to throw that biznitch on i will make a custom dp/elbow. there is no way in hell im spending 200 on something like a turbo elbow. i was just trying to say time by buying one but looks like i will be using the stock one for now.
oh btw neejay i got all my mounts on from ruckus-racing, my hood closes with the stock intake mani and my swaybar fits with absolutely no modification

^thats what i was thinking about doing they are like 60 bucks shipped.

neejay, my engine sits about a 1/2" away from the firewall, it actually sits pretty nice i think its about as far back as u can get it cuz my shifter is a wee bit further back than the stock location its real nice. dit

edit: the eblow barely, i mean barely doesnt clear. a couple mins with the grinder and i should be able to get the stock one to clear. pics will be up over the weekend, im in the home stretch

Thanks for the update. I went ahead and bought the kit yesterday :D

Unfortunately, I may have to pay $200 for the Syko elbow I'm having someone else install it and if I'm going to have to pay $150 for the Top Hat downpipe, then more $$ to extend it 2", I might as well pay $200 for the elbow so I can use my SR20 3" downpipe I already have.

when i grind my elbow i'll let u know how it turns out. dont waste 200 on the elbow. you could buy a wideband for that much and it will actually be worth the money.
if your taking it to a shop they should be able to work out the stock one. and your sr20 down pipe will bolt up. then they will most likely have to trim it to connect it to your cat back.
for now while i run the stock turbo i am just guna use the factory elbow and a cool greddy skyline downpipe that i got off my buddies r32. i will have to trim the downpipe to the rite length to get it to mate up with my apexi exhaust, but thats no biggie

yah rj i feel ya, 200 is wayyyyyy to much. we can make **** just as nice for fifty and a case of millers.

if anyone uses the ruckus kit, it will literally take u 2mins of grinding to make the elbow clear the shaft

I wanted it mostly for performance, but how much performance gain is it with aftermarket turbo elbows? Is it even noticeable with stock-ish hp?

This will be my first turbo application.

I don't have any data to support yes or no with the gains from an elbow... but I'd imagine there is something to be gained in this area

As for making it fit correctly... clock it yourself (aka cut and reweld). If you don't feel comfortable welding the iron you can take it to a shop that will after you cut and mark it in the position you want.

This is my the setup I made for my car:

Hope this helps...

I believe the SYKO elbow is a pretty nice piece for the price.

Once you have it in your hands you'll understand.

I personally believe that there is dick for HP in divorced wastegates unless they dump the exhaust in a ways downstream.

For welding, brittleness is the main issue with cast iron. I've welded a few... just sufficiently preheat the cast (torch etc) and mate it to your next bend. I was never comfortable with the whole grinding idea... and having it welded will be a lot cheaper than that $200 bit someone said was for sale. If you own a RB 240 a welder will pay for itself several times over (mine has)... or you need to at least become a good friend with someone who has one...

Yeah, I don't have a garage (live in apartments) or resources to. For the majority of the work, I'll have to pay to get it done (for the swap - I typically do all work on my car though, exhaust, brakes, suspension, engine mounts, part replacement, etc.)

More expensive then you guys with your own space/resources, but I don't have a choice.

So it's either pay for an elbow, or get my stock one grinded...and for now, it's going to have to be grinded. I can install an aftermarket elbow myself, later on down the road.

not so much as power as better flow. and for way downstream, that's the way to go.
