Even 304 is not that great. It doesn't have hi temp corrosion resistance like 321 has.

Just not that 304.
Full-Race uses 316H FYI.

That's more than I ever wanted to know about metal, but like a crack head I couldn't stop reading.

Hrm.

A HT search reveals Full-Race Javier talking about using 304 in posts covering 2003-2004, and then Geoff posts up six months ago about using 316H in a Lovefab/Full-Ric comparo. The thread where I flamed Geoff about 304 L/H and being an asshat about basic metallurgy of garden variety SS, circa a year ago when they still used 304, seems to have been deleted.

*yawn*

It's Full-Race, like I give a ----. I send the baller kids there to buy T67 at a good price, beyond that I don't care much one way or the other.

Who ------- cares if its 304l or 304, the god damn ---- is cheap and was designed for plumbing... but hey it works just fine for turbo manifolds.

and nice work josh

Low carbon ss starts corroding real ------- quick. Remember my boy Todd? One PA winter was all it took to visibly wear 304l or 316l. Normal or -h coped. Like usual, I am talking about something I have seen IRL.

I'll email you a quick sketch if you want.

It'll be perfectly useless to you, as I won't be including the math for the CD orifice sizing, and ejector exit shape. Which is okay, as my math is perfectly useless until I get some pressure vs power logs and fine tune sizing. If you are interested, you can make the upper and lower manifold pieces for me, and I can fab the ejector inserts on my own.
