ordered the new billet 6765 BB with V-band T3 .82ar non water cooled... told it was a 3" v-band outlet so ordered the rest of the exhaust stuff at the same time same place

All the stuff turns up.... major hard-on being hosted... send hotside off to be Zircotec coated.... 2 weeks later it returns

AND THE DAMN V-BAND AINT 3" MORE LIKE 2.75"..... Not happy wasted money on v-bands i dont need and exhaust parts i can do without... plus time.

where can i get a v-band that will fit as i ordered one for OBX and the **** is wrong as well, its a 3" v-band with a 2.75" hole....

any light on this?

 

i have a t4 6765 journal bearing and all i used was a 3" v band off ebay, not the obx ones because one side is machined so they fit together tight. Just a plain old 3" v band flange.

 

ive got a T3 not a T4......? and yes they are different

 

bob from rc autoworks sells the correct flange for your turbo because he sent me one i had ordered over the summer last year it was too small come to find out it was for a t3 footprint precision 6765

 

ill check that out... what p*ssed me off is they fact i ordered the exhaust parts from the same place and they didnt even have a clue.... now they say i cant send the v-band back...

 

yeah dude thats bullsh*t you can't send the v bands back

 

i waited over 3 weeks for delivery as well

 

I ran into the same situation when putting my setup together. I think its bullshit the t3 frame 6765 doesn't come with a 3 inch outlet

 

The T3 uses a 2.5" vband clamp and flange.
The T4 uses a 3" clamp and flange.

 

90% of the company's selling the t3 units advertise them as 3 inch though. I learned the hard way like the original poster

 

Never assume. Always confirm and ask before ordering. Just a good rule of thumb to go by

 

I had some kid act like a smartass on my buddies FB page when I brought this very subject up. Glad i'm not the only one that was confused. I was told that you had to get a special flange from precision for the vband housing, I guess the "special flange" is just a 2.5" vband clamp?

 

Reading it in the for sale add, and confirming it on the phone is far from assuming.

It wasn't that big of an ordeal for me though. I hadn't ordered a downpipe or flange to fit my setup, as its all made here in house. I grabbed a 3 inch v-band off the shelf and come to find out it wasn't 3 inch, so i just had to go grab a 2.5 inch v-band setup off the shelf and revise my plans. Easy fix

 

ive got a vband flange from atp that works. i was going to use it on my 6262. it was a perfect fit and allows a 3" pipe to be fit over and welded on. will take 25 shipped for it, its $39 on atp where i bought it.

I know from a few vendors, they list their V-band based on OD size...

The last Precision turbo I got was a 3" V-band (even states on the box), but it was 3" OD. This eventually meant that the V-band was actually a 2.5" ID V-band. Big mistake!

Always confirm, or at least order the matching flange from the same vendor. There are so many turbos out there that use all sorts of V-bands of all different sizes.

 

so what there saying is that its a 3 inch pipe that slip on the v band? im getting one

 

yes it allows a 3" pipe to slip onto the 2.5" vband. lmk if you want mine, no ones pm'd about it

 

Contact Rcautoworks they have the flange you are looking for. The funny part my 6262 was a true 3in

 

T4 flange? Cause my brand new T3 6262 is definitley not 3in

 

actually incorrect, the 2.5" does ALMOST fit but the 2.5" will reduce/disturb flow as the outlet of the housing is bigger then 2.5", i run a 4" exhaust and the old precision turbo sc61 T3 had a 3" outlet even...... having this turbine housing feels like im going a step back now as its only just larger then a 2.5" outlet

 

nope t3

 

I did a lot of checking around on this when I was ordering stuff to put my 6265 (t3) into my setup. Luckily, dealing with Mike Radowski I had a vendor who really went the extra mile to make sure I had the right stuff for the project. I ended up with a flange from Precision, as I recall the dimensions were just a tiny bit off from the standard ones, and I didn't want to risk a leak...

I'm sure the Shodan and others on here provide similar levels of service!

 

I ordered mine from Speed factory but still used the special vband flange anyway

 

dude i sent you a pm but you didnt ans. so i had to but it from apt and had it overnighted all for 107

 

My 6262 is 3in OD, 2.5ID....my bad
