I thought the runners are stainless but the flange is mild steel...i could be wrong though

 

ill have to look into it. cause i dont think you can weld two different types of steel together

 

yes you can...i can prove it...lol

you can weld mild steel to stainless...

here is an example

(runners are stainless but all the flanges are mild steel)

 

the flanges later rusted a bit but i never got a pic of that

 

btw i do it all the time exp on oil catch cans...the body with be mild steel but the top and bottom are stainless. the reason i do it is you normally dont see the body very well so i just paint them and the top ill polish up

 

Dude Chris how much you make those catch cans for? I would love one. Not now but once i get some more parts for my turbokit.

 

Brock i would cut you a deal however you would have to pay for the fittings cause i dont get anydeals on them. fittings alone for the catch can shown cost between $80-$90 (mr. gasket shadow -6AN fittings). you can find cheaper or use brass fittings if you would like. I tape all holes out to 1/8th npt.

 

i can tap em out to whatever size you want though.

 

Thanks for the info. I will get back with ya when i am ready!

 

no problem

 

i will have to say good job on the welds and i also like the catch can lol. once i get this manny fixxed i might have to get with you again to try and get one off of you. did you make that manny?

 

No thats a TT(turbotoyotas) manifold. TT is no longer in business though.

 

like Brock said its a TT (TurboToyotas) mani. I did do the catch can though.

 

question im running a zpi kit how much power r u making on 17 psi i havent gonna that high yet im just on 8 the most i have ran is 13. i havent had an problem with my manifold other than it keep blowing wastegate gasket.

 

at 17 psi iam making pretty close to 300 horsepower at the wheels.. i havent gotten the car dynoed sense the increase of boost but at 12 i was running 248 hwp and 239 torque. its gotta be pretty close. ill keep you guys updated on the manifold. and if i get the car dynoed at 17 ill let you know what iam making at the wheels

 

Wow only 248whp at 12psi. Man that 16g dont do much except give you quick spool up and down low power!

 

Na that cant be right. I got 263WHP&WTQ on 10 PSI on Ptunings dyno with the 16g turbo

 

All depends on tune!

 

well im put my tc on the dyno and see what i get at 5 10 and 13 psi this weekend soo ill let u guys know but motor is all stock.

 

question i have been hanging out with a lot of DSM guys and they r saying when im ready for more power i can change my 16g turbo that came with the zpi and built on an 18g or 20g has any1 with a zpi kit tried this?
