hey i got a warped flange between my header and the turbo ... i changed the gasket.. and same shieeet .. ima using a Crx HF header ..
any ideas on a qucik fix ?
if not .. what kinda material ( something that wont warp as easily ) should i make a new flange from?

thanks

 

also wanted to ask where you hooked your boost gauge too? on a ZC .. pic would be nice ..
thanks

 

your manifold flange is warped or is the exhaust ports on the head warped? id recommend taking it to a machine shop to have decked. Hook your boost gauge up to any vacuum source coming from the intake manifold. Just splice 1 line, insert a plastic T and your done after you hook up the 12v power and a ground.

the manifold is fine .. i have a piece of metal thats about 1/4" thick between my manifold and my turbo.. thast warped ..

 

oh ok i misunderstood what you were saying, can you post pics up? sounds like you need a new 1/4" flange or have yours decked by a machine shop. What material is this metal made of?

 

err sorry i dont have clue .. steel i think ..
and i dont have pic = (
ok thanks for the help ..

u think chunks of exhaust cement will work ?

 

i think hes talking about the adapter plate that people use to mate crx hf manifolds to a turbo...check out homemadeturbo.com they have info on these adapters

 

dont put any type of material to compensate for the warpage, it could get sucked into your turbo and mess up your turbo bearings as well as your exhaust fins. You said it warped, so my guess is the grade steel/metal whatever it is is not capable of withstanding the exhaust temperatures it is being exposed to. Is it necessary to run this flange? Where did you get it from? Id say take it to a machine shop and have it leveled out, it wont be expensive.
