I've been fighting with exhaust leaks for almost a year. I'm really fed up with this. I plan to weld the exhaust side to the SS flange (this junction doesn't work now- seals, exhaust cement, decked flange- not working here) and then weld a V-band to make a connection with the rest of the downpipe.

Is it possible to weld the hot side to stainless steel? The turbo is IHI/BorgWarner RHB6 (I believe)
Thanks

 

chances are even if u preheat the **** outta it, and peen it while u weld it.

its going to crack because the expansion differentials are so great between those 2 products..

why cant u just pull the manifold off, and have the flange machined flat again.

 

does this answer your question

 

yes you can... vband turbos have welded exhaust housings

 

not Tial if thats who you're referring to, those are made out of a single casting i believe but they CAN BE welded to

 

Yes they can be welded if you are welding a cast iron turbo housing you have to use ni55 or ni99 filler rod. if its cast steel then just use ss308 filler rod

 

do you guys realize hes welding a cast turbo housing steel id imagine to his stainless steel turbo manifold..

those compressors u posted are cast stainless.

 

a compressor IS NOT A TURBINE.

look at my pic the TURBINE OR HOT SIDE has a WG flange welded to it.

 

Its still possible either way its welding and the right filler rod

 

super missle!

 

yeah ikno but this is what i was talking about... you can see that the V-band flange was welded really nicely

 

^^^This is what I'd like to accomplish at the end more less. But the V-band won't be welded directly to the turbine but to the flange and then the flange to the turbine.

 

Just weld the Vband on, why so much extra work?

 

you could just buy an aftermarket one to suit your needs

 

The turbine had internal WG before so the shape is not round. Thats why flange-> V-band solution.

 

+1

yep. And I'd like it to be welded to the turbine housing.

why not just have it bolt one like that?

 

because you didn't read the firts post.

 

if your tired of exhaust leaks try using a gasket.


thouse help all the time

 

I did use couple of them. I'm done.

 

bolt 2 flanges together tightly as possible, leave bolted then run a butt all the way around where the 2 flanges meet?
