Re: New pipe fittings for manifolds
this sounds good. any chance of doing 2" pipe with the same process? i have some 3000gt o2 housings to make and the tight bends would be nice. i have been trying to buy a donut and nobody will take my money

Stock o2 housing replacements? They need to be bigger then 2" ID. Most o2 housing replacements are 2.5" for that car. Why do you need such tight bends?

Just waiting for feedback. We built a couple interesting manifolds from the stuff this past week ourselves.

Re: New pipe fittings for manifolds
Cool- volvo 20 valve 5 cylinder. I have one of those on the go actually... 
I'm not working on anything that needs 1.25", I'd end up re-working my jigs for it if you end up selling it, but as it is I'm not sure i have much work I could use to "sample" it...

Re: New pipe fittings for manifolds
Ah.. JPDC made a product like that way back in the day that we manufactured for them (for that vehicle). They CNC'd the flange so the outlet for the wastegate had an independent discharge from the exhaust stream. On the reverse side of the flange they machined a lip that sat into the turbine housing and seperated the chamber. I believe those were 2.25" outlet and 2" dump though. There is far more room there then it seems. You could do it with just standard radius 2" od x 3" radius no problem. We still build tons of 3000GT parts we developed ... damn near 5 years ago now.
