Welding a turbo flange on a Manifold
 

Whats the best way to do this? Im thinking of going LS turbo, whats the best manifold to use that doesnt crack, where can i get a turbo flange from? Im going to be running an IHI turbo.

tig welds are best, but what do you want to do? I haven't seen any ihi manifolds but I bet cody would make you one if you asked nicely https://honda-tech.com/forums/images...es/emsmile.gif

the welding is not a problem, just want to know where to get the flange/ and which manifold is the best to use

It depends on how much you want to spend. So you are going to buy a mani with a t3 flange and hack it up to put the ihi flange on there?

ihi+ t3 are the same flange

not according to the ihi and t3 that I pulled from a yard a while back. I still have the exhaust manifolds, the ihi is square and the t3 is more rectangular if I remember correctly.

But if you think they are the same why are you buying a mani and another flange? Manifolds come with the flanges already on them you know.

im talking about adding a turbo flange to an NA manifold, i might just be better off buying a turbo manifold. as for the t3 and ihi, they are in fact the same, i have a turbo thunderbird and a turbo mustang, and my thunderbird came with an ihi, and the t3 bolts right on my manifold with no problem, only diffrence is they both have diffrent size oil lines.

odd - I pulled a t3 from a saab and an ihi from a probe, they are different. Just buy a manifold from cody, 300 for the shorty.
