I need custom flanges, where can I get them?
I need custom flanges, where can I get them?
OK as most of you know I'm using skyline GTR turbos on my car. But they use a non standard nissan 5 bolt wastegate flange and I can't find flanges anywhere to make my downpipes with. A guy in new zealand offered me stock gtr turbo elbows that I could use, but he wants 60 plus shipping and shipping on heavy cast parts from new zealand is astronimical. I tried to see if anyone here could help me find some information on locating some skyline flanges, but within a few minutes of posting the thread was moved to the skyline forum, where it was promptly ignored.So apparently I'm going to have to have a set custom made... does anyone know where I could have this done? I could start at the local machine shops, but I just wanted to know if anyone had done this before.
what i was going to do was get some used aftermarket downpipes, have the rear pipe cut up and rewelded to clear the steering shaft. then have a apexi gt front pipe cut up and rewelded to match the rear turbo.
but the HKS turbos are twice the price of the standard garrett gt25's that i can get [same flow rating, power rating] so now im rethinking weither i should just get those and have my whole exhaust system fabbed [im not to good with a welder] or if i should just go big single turbo, and eliminate the headache of having two downpipes, the front pipe, exhaust, and ic piping to a front mount.
what i would say is get some thick plate steel, and use a gasket as a template to make your own or have a machine shop make them.
the non standard nissan exhaust housing pattern and compressor outlet is starting to make me rethink my setup options.

yeah, I wonder how cheap though. so far I've had no luck with any of the options listed... I'll attach some pics of what it looks like if you guys have any suggestions..ok I can't attach them, they are too big, go to http://www.sounddomain.com/id/andrave and go the 6th page, if anyone wants to try and take a look.
