Turbo-turbine housing question
I am narrowing down my turbo choices and i have com to a few questions when selecting a Turbine housing. The turbo will either be a T-66 or a 62-1. The housings that i see are "on center" and Tangential. The on center housing already has a bolt patern for the down pipe, but the tangential flows 5% better. Problem is the "v-band" exaust connection.
I see how it slides into the grove, it is just clamped to the downpipe or is it welded or what? (how is this connection best made) what have others done?
I have the racing beat turbo back exhaust with the three inch down pipe, what sort or " massaging" will be nessary.
Manifold is the HKS cast. Anyone remember if it is divided or not? (it is in route to my house and i dont remember)

ok it was a little longer
Here is the turbine housing with Vband flange welded on
Here is the Vband adapter (you weld your downpipe on this piece )
Here is the Clamp
Here is the Vband adapter placed on the vband flange
And Here is the vband adapter and the clamp together
And Here is the total package

Greg you don't play do you .... I wonder how many people will ask this question now that you given excellent pictures.
Dave: You have an interesting decision. You mention the 62-1 or the T66 ... I think there are different options in front of you that you are leaving out.

well, i have done a lot of looking around and i have a friend that has a 62-1 that is a ball bearing turbo with a 1.15 turbine housing. this should make plenty of power for me to make 400rwhp. If i cannot wrangle a good deal with him i wanted to get a t04r.
After reading the lengthy thread about the t04r i did some looking at the actual compressor maps and compressor wheels. the consensus was that you should not spend a lot of money on the t04r when you can get somthing close in the "T" family for much less. (ie the t66 (slightly smaller, but spins up faster), and the t70). i think someone said that the t04r is ~ T-68.
The T-66 will be a better option than the 62-1 for a later engine upgrade, and if i can afford it i want to go ball bearing.
well that is my .02.
anyone else care to place their pennys in the jar?

But one company I've seen sell a 3" v-band complete for $80.00. I am not sure if you CAN FIND it cheaper but that's what i've seen

To shrink the exhaust piping you have to get an exhaust adapter, you cant do it with the vband. Also, what size AR are you running? You might not be able to use a 4"

The whole vband setup (Flange, Clamp and Adapter (downpipe part) is around $120.
