Someone gave me this link for my t25 dp flange but i wasnt sure wheter it can be used retaining the use of the internal wastegate........ heres a link to the pic:

Its a nice looking flange........ i noticed the taper from the wastegate side back to the turbine outlet but wasnt sure if this taper is enough to let me keep the internal wg........ let me know what u guys think, i just emailed the company but im not sure when they will respond..... thanx

 

Yes, that's why it's cut like that.

damn matts everywhere...

hey rex check this out...

another HT member and i have been talking about this for a couple days we think this will fit our t25's and its pretty cool cause of the split chamber...its not prefect but you can modify it to work(ie wastegate re-entry distance, should be 18 inches).....i dont like ssautocrome.com as a seller but i cant find anything else out there like this and for $70 its worth a shot.....

 

you know i saw those things the other day and was wanting to know if they would work as well.........

do u think the ssautochrome elbow would be a better solution than the flange i posted?

 

do you kno have the oem elbow? or are u trying to upgrade?

the split chamber design is better for boost control, and performance because the discharge outlets are seperate, the gasses wont crash into each other....

but like i said the wastegate dump needs to come back into the pipe later on down...its should be atleast 18 inchs from the flange to be the best.

im planning on getting one and just modifying it to angle more under the turbo to match the reast of the downpipe better and either just run open atmosphere, or pipe it back in 18inchs down the pipe. but i think im gona go open for alittle bit

 

man....... doesnt seem like there is an easy solution......... i guess i could modify the autochrome piece as well but its so hard to judge how everything will be positioned. anymore input from anyone??

 

not to pop the bubble but i have been trying to find a downpipe for about a year now..and this is the closest thing to a good one i can find without fabricating one

wow......... no u didnt get my hopes up, i knew things were gonna be tough to find but im confident i could get something to work.......... just wish it could be as easy as making a DP right off the flange that i first linked..........

let me know if u come up with anymore ideas and i will do the same....... not sure if i wanna be the guniea pig with the SSpiece......... but if everyones saying the flange that i first linked to wont work then the ebay piece it is!

 

i got a reply by the company that makes the flange from forcedperformance and he said it does allow you to keep the internal gate........

i emailed him back to see if he could get me any specifics on if it would be safe to use......... ill keep ya posted

 

The SS autochrome one won't fit very well on a honda. I just recently tried to use a silvia T25 on a d16z6. They way the exhaust is configured (for longitudinal mounted engine) so the stock O2 housing piece or SS Autocrap would be angled tword the side of the motor and be pretty low for an average length manifold. Because of this you would need to make a very severe 90 degree turn at the oil pan. If you cut off the SS one and welded it do the pipes point down you could make it work.

On my t25 setup I just made a 1/2" steel flange that is basically a not so polished version of the forced performance flange including the WG recess (which looks really nice). It took a couple hours with the saw, carbide bit and drill press but it cost me $1.50 in materials.

safe to use? what are you talking about? of course it would be. are you worried about the flapper not opening enough? they don't open as far as you think then. It's perfect IMO

thanx man, i appreciate the info.......... from a couple ppl i was just getting negative reactions from them about the flange from forced perfromance......... only thing im worried about is spiking........ but im going to have my management right to handle that..........

 

btw: i know that the wastegate flapper doesnt open up too much........ plus it is already recessed into the housing
