I am going to need a new downpipe making, ideally by measuring in situ, once the engine is in.

Car will not be running or mobile.... does anybody have the skills to do this?

Obviously I will be paying a fair amount :)

Flexi? Vband? Material?

Stainless idealy :) To bolt from my T3 to HKS Silent High Power. Flexi would be a good plan I imagine, but I do not have a flexi thingy to put in there... I guess somebody with exhaust skills would have access to that sort of thing :)

I have to admit to not being sure on V-band-ness, as I dont entirely know what it is :wack:

Not sure if he does anything other than benchwork now, but Ronin Systems based at Alan Jeffreys. Did an ok job for my flexi pipe install after i measured up myself.

But I could weld up a jig for it and take it there :thumbs: I could do it but don't have access to a TIG welder at the moment :(

I can get access to them, it's the mocking up / fabricating that I cant easily do, lots of TIG welding people I can get to weld him up for me if that helps?

Little bump for me here...

Can you mock this up for me Channie, so I cant get it welded up by somewhere near work?

Need to get this under control in the next week, at the latest!

I have the exhaust side one... I just need to find a turbo ended one I guess, I reckon I can rustle one up :D

Do you have tube etc?

Evilchap

No flange on turbo end... it's a clamp... I will get a pic :)

I can probably scare up some pipe :)

More pics if they help?

Jesus christ!
Can you measure the diameter of the V-band, hopefully about 3 inch? what diameter downpipe do you want?

EDIT: Is it to the cat? or existing front pipe?

Evilchap

To decat pipe :)

OK, turns out there's 2 pipes, not 1 as I originally thought :)

A relatively simple elbow/downpipe type bit and a more complicated (screamer pipe plumbed back in) front pipe type bit.

I will get some pictures up shortly :)

I will also get the v-band clamp sent with the turbo, and confirm the required exhaust diameter to join on for certain!

Thanks for your helps today Channie :thumbs:
