Default Max-Rev Update / Billet Oil Drain Flanges

These are the Max-Rev manufactured CNC 6061 turbo oil drain flanges that are included in our kits.
If you would like I can sell them seperately for $18.
dealer pricing is availaible if you want to buy lots, as I have lots.





also, guys who wanted D series manifolds, I sent you all emails. If anyone else wants to get in on a D series manifold, email me
d series thread = https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=234097

let me know what you think.
I have a few other products that I'll be posting shortly. But I cant say just yet what they are.

turbonetics charges $13 for their cast return flanges.
their billet flanges ( the same as these basically) are $26.

It sounds like a fair price to me. at 30% less than the same thing from someone else.

btw, this is a dolphin safe product.
sorry, just felt like writing something stupid

Do you just dril the holes and bolt it to the pan? Is there a gasket included? Is it going to leak at all?

What are you talking about? Billet aluminum parts are made from aluminum that was "dug up" as a solid piece rather than a lot of stuff melted together.

ok but im not seeing any advantage to the cast piece. It costs more, and the cast piece does the same job. Am I missing something?

I do have the oil pan fittings. They're just a couple of bucks. I dont really sell them seperatly , but if you cant get one from anywhere local, I can send you one.

you should use a gasket with the turbo return fittings. They should be supplied with the turbo.

*modified for clarity*

The advantage is that you're buying a nicer part.
it's made from more expensive material to precision tolerences.
and it's shiny, so it will atract kiwis and lemmings

Billet is kind of a generic term.
The way it's used in our industry it tends to imply that a part is machined, usually by a CNC mill or Lathe, out of a solid chunk of material. That material is usually steel or aluminum but isn't necessarily either.
The term has nothing to do with the origin of the material. The 6061 aluminum used in these parts is by no means dug up and then directly sent to us. A billet is usually cold formed by either extrusion or roll press to form the generic shape. it is then either heat treated or chemically aged

by the way Chris, sorry I haven't gotten a hold of you yet. I haven't checked my email for a couple of days. The news is that the manifolds can be done by the 19th. Either I or Curtis will give you a call tommorrow.

No I have many of my own copies. Billet is a *manufacturing* process. Not a material or element.

yeah manufacturing like spining it on a lathe or milling it on a milling machine, bottom line is that it is aluminum, lets not waste anymore bandwidth by bitching at each other
