Need turbo help in DC

I need a new turbine housing set up for my RX-7. Old one broke and I don't think it's fixable.

Anyone know of a reasonably priced shop near DC that can either weld a flange onto a housing (if I buy online), or can sell me a housing + flange + make it match my existing setup?

Thanks for any leads. I'm near Rockville, MD.

I have a set of 99s I'm going to use and my motor is out. I'll sell you the set of 93 spec twins that are on the engine now for $200 if you want them. They were boosting fine, no smoke etc...

Cell is 301-535-6155.

Brian,

I have a used 1.0 hot side for a T04S, $75 if you pick it up

If you wish to fix your current one, I know of two welders that should be able to tackle the job!

1 - Piper motorsports
2 - A lady on the local motorcycle forum, I dont have her info with me, but can get it if you are interested

Good to see you're still here!

Heya, Thanks for the reply. I took it by Piper last summer (yes it has been broken that long)... and they said they were reluctant to try a repair because it might break again and they didn't want an unhappy customer. They did not flat out say "no", but they didn't seem like they wanted to do it.

I would love the contact info for the motorcycle lady especially if she's near NOVA area so I could just take the parts over to her, see what we could do and do it or not.

As for your housing - what type of output adapter is on it? V band? Flange? How many miles/age is on that puppy?


See: https://www.rx7club.com/single-turbo...xable-1041714/

for the damage I'm looking at. It's LOUD AS HELL!

Thanks,
Brian

Its a V-band and less than 5000 miles on it, I replaced it with a .8x (next lower one for a divided manifold)

Looking for her phone, will pm you the info.

No I didn't remember, what you had on there. Sorry I tried...
I sold my old car which was single turbo too and was off here for a few years.
I bought another FD last summer and have been back since then.
