Aluminum coolant necks??
Anyone making these single turbo aluminum coolant necks? Or can someone point me to the right person making them.

Tried rotary werks, the guy is a bit of a douche. “Claiming he does things on his own time and schedule”.


Thanks

I know you mention aluminum, but IRP makes a stainless steel one that looks pretty nice

I have the TGS for twins. Good quality and received it in about 10 days from the UK. It is pricey but nice.

There aren't many (any) stateside options as far as I know... and I've seen a few of these from JDM land with screw caps. Not sure what that's supposed to do. The TGS has a standard cap fitting on top for which I was able to get a Stant Lev-R Vent cap in the correct size/pressure.

Angel motorsports makes one. https://www.angelmotorsports.ca/coll...d3s-water-neck

I saw where it cracked on Hert's drift car, but that is an extreme environment and he may have changed the design since then. But then again it is an aluminum piece hanging from a flange that gets alot of heat cycles, so no one may last forever.

We have a billet aluminum flange so that you can make any configuration you want. I made a straight outlet for my 20B

Here are a few pics of the twin turbo version of the TGS, which has a curved neck. This was just reinstalled during my rebuild. I have a higher quality HKS cap.
