Racing Beat only lists a 2.5" Turbo-Outlet flange, Turbonetics doesn't list one, TurboCity doesn't list one HELP!!!!! For a T-18 Hitachi, Stock 87TII

PS My plasma cutter isn't beefy enough to cut my own flange

 

There's a reason - the hole at the back of the turbo is only 2.5". Any 3" exhaust going to the stock turbo necks down to 2.5" at the turbo's outlet.

This really isn't a big deal, BTW.

Nice to see you back Dale, Never fear I have a plan//

I will have a true 3" down pipe with no reducer required...hehehe

 

GO BY RACING BEATS 3" DOWN PIPE. IT DOSE NOT "NECK DOWN" THE COURNERS WHERE BEAT IN SO YOU CAN GET THE BOLTS ON THE FLANGE ITS ONLY $125 WHY GO THROUGH THE HASEL OF MAKING ONE WHEN YOU CAN BY A STANLESS STEAL ONE FOR THAT PRICE.

 

www.thunderfabrications.com nice work!

 

Really, all that will give you is a leg up in a dick size contest. Unless you put a new back plate on the turbo, the hole on the back plate and the hole on the gasket is only 2.5".

Even if you fabbed a new back plate, you still have a tiny turbine and a wastegate that's dumping into the exhaust flow at a 90 deg angle.

Hell, buy the JIC Spec 90 all 90mm system for the stock turbo...

it's almost pointless for the stock turbo. spend the money of a better turbo unit.

 

What is pointless you are refering to?

I hope it's not going to a 3" exhaust (I didn't really understand the previous posts). A good 3" exhaust with a stock turbo can up your HP by 50 at the wheels... plus you can do it for a couple hundred bucks only.
