Homemade wastegate elbow
My homemade wastegate elbow so that my hood can close. Ghetto as ---- but works great and doesn't leak. In other words, does it's job.

Re: Homemade wastegate elbo
if this was honda tech you just spent $40 between 2 flanges and an ace stainless order, plus hired some guy to tig it all up for you and use SS hardware :1

Not bad for $2 in material/gas/electricity. A plasma cutter would be awsome to add to my arsenal.
For some reason, I got 3 of these in [cheap] stainless when I odrered from SSautocrap (wg and fmic). They jiped me on the pictured dumptube, I really wanted the SS tubing for other crap. |
Re: Homemade wastegate elbow
nice work!
why the bead in the middle of the 45* middle section? |
Re: Homemade wastegate elbow
I thought the angle wasn't enough, so i cut in the middle (not all the way through) bent it down a little more in an angle. Just was making sure I wouldn't have problems later.
BTW: I have access to a plasma cutter, but that is 3/8" thick and I don't think plasma can cut through that much. |
Re: Homemade wastegate elbow

That's tight hell yeah man
|
The best part is reusing other parts and doing for under $5 what most people pay atleast $50 for.
|
route some of that unused exhaust gases into the filter for an HMT egr setup!
|
What about a pipe bender, for smoother flow?
